Nah I’d go with 5972

I might as well. i think it would be a nice addition to my shelf of Harry Potter stuff

Each time we have crossed the Atlantic,  be it QE2  and now QM2,  a wreath has been laid at the site of where Titanic sank.

They said it was unsinkable and yet it still sank. Rather sad about all those people who didn't survive.

I have made a Revell model of the Titanic. i made it on the 14th/15th April this year (which is the days when the Titanic sank in 1912)

Newton Abbot library claims to have the second largest railway resource in the country after the NRM. You need to contact them in advance as the person who knows what they have got isn't always there. They do have some western region working timetables .

 

Can't beat modelling the Western main line. All the best!

Thanks. I'll take a look at that sometime. also, nice picture.

My last venture into laser cutting cost about £100. 

That is expensive.

Yeah that is a good point. i could modify the front end to look like it or, being a Harry Potter fan, I might rename and number it as 5972 Olton Hall in the Hogwarts Railways livery.

Or i could leave it as it is. as a black BR loco or a wartime GWR one (most were painted black during WWII)

I am going to try to model a OO GWR themed layout sometime in the near future (If i get the space and time to do it). I don't know what it looks like yet as i'm still reading and searching for inspiration

Swindon is one of three of my favourite GWR engine sheds (Old Oak Common and Didcot being the other two) and, being a GWR/BR western region fan, I like where this is going.

 Laser cutting is pretty expensive and its tricky to get your hands on one. would a modified Metcalfe kit do the job?

Hi James,

Not sure if your still looking but I have a Railfreight Coal Dapol 56, brand new in its original box if that's of interest?

Rich

is it still for sale?

He doesn't have much N gauge. in fact he has hardly any.

thanks for all your input into the project. i really appreciate the help.

I recently visited the NYMR this year for the steam gala featuring 6023 and 6990. Unfortunately, i forgot my camera and i wasn't able to take photos for the layout. 

If anyone is able to take any sometime, that would be really great. 

i don't know how big the layout will be. I will have to work that out. 

I will also have to update the loco list.

The trouble is that Albert is a Hall whilst Witherslack is a Modified Hall with a totally different front end. Sorry if that messes up your plans.

Ray.
