I have been after a small water tower for ages, offer sent on ebay

Hi are these kits still available?

Hi all hope you’re well, I am looking to expand my 009 loco list and I have an Arnold 0-4-0 chassis which says Ibutren cuckoo on the bottom and a Fleischmann 0-4-0 chassis that says piccolo on the bottom (not sure if its the same as the 7000) I want to pick up a couple of kits from five79, on the kits they list a couple of these and say or similar my question is this are all of these chassis largely interchangeable for 009 locos/kits or does it really depend on the individual model, the kits I’m looking at are for a freelance bagnall quarry loco and a quarry hunslet many thanks

Depending on the final colour I (and I believe a good few others) like to undercoat in matt black, games workshop aerosol is very good, not only does it help you see a vision of the finished article but it also helps to hide any bits in “shadow” that normally would be

Really looking forward to the new loco kit I can attest to the quality of these kits, I got a Skylark kit a while back, very pleased with it

Hi all hopefully this is in the right place, I am building a 009 Ironstone Quarry layout set roughly in the 1930s, with bit of wiggle room either side, though I have a Corgi Ruston excavator so that'll tie it down to 1937+ I think. My question is what is prototypical between the line running alongside the quarry face or the line ending at the quarry face and then train going back the way it came? (its a small company so I thought about the possibility of them extending the track as and when they needed to) you can see the difference in the below photos, the rail in the large black and white one seems to end there and have a single track, the colour photo has the train going past an excavator (though not sure its in use) and the smaller black and white photo also shows a train passing where the ore is being excavated. any help would be much appreciated, its not based on a specific line but its supposed to be around Northamptonshire if that helps
