When I was a member of the Dunstable mrc we organized a visit to the dehavilland clubroom on the airfield site, even met Monty Wells,author of many diesel modelling articles in RM, scary to think it was about 30 years ago!! Later visits were to the cinema as my mate was convinced it was better than Milton Keynes Point, never did visit galleria centre
-
1) stay in Cornwall 2) train to London 3) train to York sorry can't think of anything else, apart from cinema and shopping at galleria!!

Diagonal bracing on shed door going wrong way?? Door must be modelled as if it had fallen off and merely leaning against side if shed!!

Quick pic from Trevithick day in Camborne, 2 of Luton's finest, along with a mini pick-up, once described as the cheapest 2 seater sports car you can buy, and a mini van, all a very rare site on the roads now!!

One reason is Hornby don't fit the sawn off piece of steel bar that lima fitted to their model, fitting a much smaller weight presumably to give more space for decoder ( and cut costs)which drastically reduced traction!!

We are all forgetting about charwelton new town that was being built in the sixties!! Leaving Milton Keynes a small village near Bletchley
-
A rebuild along the lines of the long gone Belgrave and birstall station may be more realistic for an updated GC , even with the addition of the inevitable industrial estate, but definitely won't be as attractive!! Some compromise will be needed..
-
Will be interesting to see this in an 80s guise, assuming its not a cycle way!! A excellent layout for watching the trains go by..

Described as Hornby tank wagons, one is 1950s triang, not sure on the provenance of the other, chassis could be bogie from a lima diesel?? http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-OO-Gauge-Tanker-Wagons-x-2-L29-/162413488842?hash=item25d0992aca%3Ag%3AKSsAAOSwax5YtdBf&_trkparms=pageci%253A64e711c4-fe12-11e6-8265-74dbd1a03495%257Cparentrq%253A872d175915a0a3589684c8a8ffe505f5%257Ciid%253A24

Little Loco Company - Ruston 48DS
kernowtim replied to The Nth Degree's topic in Little Loco Company
Well my model turned up safety at work earlier this week, just need to build the layout for it to run on, in retrospect should have ordered the dcc version, can anyone recommended a decoder?? Not necessarily with sound.. Or is sound decoder available separately
-
Obviously the wrong trailer for the lima truck!!

Dapol wagons are not cheap!!!Had another look in WHS Camborne and a couple of local Tesco ,no joy..

Photos of AC electrics

Unidentified class 87 at Cheddington, not sure of date but I had gone there with my new camera to photograph the 86's before they were withdrawn, didn't see any & later found out the last run was the previous week!!

That old sign is a new one , recently replacing the older faded one in the same style!!
-
Got to admit to being surprised at the running qualities of my £13.49 caley pug, again from Hawkins, bought as a replacement for my first one from 36 years ago!! I wonder if they will reissue the Huntley and Palmer version ;-)
-
This example is the cheapest a quick search on ebay found http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-0-4-0-Huntley-and-Palmers-Peckett-Loco-New-R3429-/371826055586?hash=item56928f59a2%3Ag%3Aqs4AAOSw241YWWCz&_trkparms=pageci%253A520f1f64-d4e9-11e6-be31-005056b6897b%257Cparentrq%253A796d53331590a605b8382525ffc8832f%257Ciid%253A1 I will have to make do with my (£13.95)Hawkins bazaar caley pug!!

James May is the Reassembler 28th December 9pm BBC4
kernowtim replied to Paul.Uni's topic in DVD/Video/TV
I had a similar set for Christmas 1973, didn't have the chuff effect or the triang track of James may's example, only one brake coach too, although I'm not sure the coaches on tv were reassembled correctly -
My dcc sound fitted loco arrived safely in Cornwall on Thursday Dec 22nd as a surprise Christmas present,as I couldn't remember what colour I had ordered at railex earlier this year. Very pleased with my red version, really must build something to run it on!!
