Hello, Does anyone have a spare NB Models Austerity kit that they would be willing to part with? Doesn't necessarily have to include the chassis parts. Thanks, Alastair

There's no advantage to rolling resistance or weight by running tubeless. If that is your primary concern then tubular tyres or latex tubes are used. The only advantage to tubeless when racing is that a puncture might not end your race. You can run lower pressure, so in theory, there is improved comfort and you won't get a pinch puncture from rough roads or potholes. As with a lot things on the bike, it is great until it doesn't work. If you have to carry a spare tube and tools then there isn't really any advantage in my opinion. I have a couple of sets of wheels setup with GP5000 tubeless and I am happy to use them for shorter rides. Anything long and/or away from civilization I'm not sure I'd be setting out without a spare tube and tools. I have had one puncture on tubeless where a thorn pierced the tyre completely, the sealant had dried up during Summer months and I didn't keep on top of it. Also, on some wheels getting the tyre off/on to fit the tube can be a nightmare because the tyre has to be so tight on the rim and you need more tools.... You pay your money and take your choice.

Has anyone got a Gibson J15 kit that they would be willing to part with? Thanks, Alastair

Hello, Does anyone have a spare copy of the Jan 2017 edition of the Hornby Magazine? Thanks, Alastair

Anyone got a Brassmasters J94 kit in the cupboard that they would be willing to part with? Thanks, Alastair

Hi, Yes I have, they are superb but aren't full body kits - as far as I am aware? You still need both the whitemetal and lost wax castings, that's what I have done with my couple - Rumney chassis and the rest from the David Geen kit. It would be a shame if the milk tanker kits disappeared. Thanks

Hi Mike, I don't suppose you know anything of the availability of David's milk tanker kits? Thanks, Alastair

Hello, Does anybody have any, preferably unstarted, Colin Craig FFA/FGA Container Flat wagon kits in their kit collection that they would be willing to part with? Thanks, Alastair

Hello, Does anyone know what the options are for modelling air brake hoses on wagons? For instance the two hoses on this wagon: I've tried searching and can't find anything suitable in the mainstream trade. Does anyone know if any Bachmann/Hornby/Helijan spares would be suitable for these? Thanks, Alastair

Hello, Does anyone have a spare Bachmann/Mainline Macaw B or Bogie Bolster C wagons? Any condition/livery. Will receive completely new underframe and bogies so really only interested in the top-half of the wagon. Can be unboxed. If you have one laying spare then please get in touch. I have a few spare bits that need to be put to use. Thanks, Alastair

Hello, Does anyone have a Freightliner liveried Class 66 body that they would be willing to part with or swap for a pristine EWS example? Thanks, Alastair
