  1. Hi all, My son has dropped his 9F and lost one of the handrail knobs from the smoke deflector. Spoke the service desk they dont carry spares, does anyone know of a suitable replacement? Many thanks in advance. Paul.
  2. Will you have an option for a smoke unit?????? Washford Heath, just come out of the old MetCam works and reversed eastwards.
  3. A class 31 hill cIimbing, A Hornby one I did a few years ago.
  4. A bit more news, after a long time! Heljan 86 fitted with MU cables and a view of a new display stand from EBMA. There will be more frequent updates!
  5. One of my classmates was sent from woodwork class to the metalwork room to collect a bag of sparks! He still gets reminded of that after 40 odd years!
  6. I'm still waiting for a box of sky hooks, since 1976! delivery any time now I hope.
  7. You could go to as delivered early D400s and remove cables fit a blanking plate and use the jumpers on your 86! could not find a pic that would allow me to post it.
  8. Have you tried Peters spares, that's where I got mine from but it was a while ago, wanted ETH cables but ordered the wrong item!
  9. The MU cables are spares from the Hornby class 50, Locksley kindly sent me a set he had 3d printed for his 87 but the cables are a bit short for a 86 but I've used his receptacle.
  10. Just finished MU fitted 86 002, used E3156 as a base rather than removing orange cantrail stripe on 85 036. Drivers fitted in both ends, etched arrows fitted and a blast of matt varnish to bring it all together. Paul.
  11. Hi, does anyone know the name of the 2 level electric and diesel stabling layout thats just been put up for sale. Just cant remember.

  12. Its just taken half an hour to remove central arrow and cab numbers with tcut and cotton buds, they are quite stubborn on E3156, so as above be gentle and take your time to avoid scratches. PS I also use blue tcut as it does not leave white residue in panel lines etc.
  13. Ordered mine Friday 4pm from Rails, arrived 10am yesterday, well impressed with service and the loco, looks bl##dy good to me. Numbers have taken a bit of time to remove, have also removed arrows as I have a cast set to replace them. Headcode change was the easiest one I've ever done. Should be finished over the weekend will post a pic or two when its done.
  14. Hi I am after a couple of 4mm ferret and dartboard transfers for an Ivatt mogul if anyone has some spare. Thanks in advance, Paul
  15. I've just ordered E3156 as I need to renumber to a TOPS MU fitted 86/0 and did not fancy removing orange cantrail strip as I had to do with the Baccy 85's. Will post pics if anyone wants to see it.
  16. I use slightly thinned Tamiya XF69 NATO black on side grills. Seems to work OK.
  17. Hi all Any ideas which would be the best Kadee to use? I'm thinking 146, anyone used any or has better suggestion? Thanks Paul.
  18. Hi Sam, PM sent regarding 1976 Railway World issues. Regards Paul.
  19. May I ask why the you think the SLW 25 is considered as being a niche product? There are so many independent producers now that they must be taken seriously by everyone. I would not consider buying a 37 from anywhere other than a 'niche' company but think also Bachmanns 24/1 is excellent. Of the two models that will be available the SLW appears to be more accurate around the cab door area, but we will have to wait and see, given past releases I know where my moneys going.
  20. Does any money change hands when one is ordered? just wondering as I have a 37 and 2 86's to pay for first but would like to make sure I get a couple of blue ones.
  21. Hi, does anyone have any photos of 37 119 during 1975/76?Will be renumbering an accurascale model and would like to get details correct. Thanks.
