    But 64 of them on a couple of Cartic sets certainly are, as I found to my cost with Anglias on the NGS Cartics.😂
  2. Crepello
    Before you fill your Cartics, make sure your loco can handle the weight of all those cars.

    I see that the ‘proper’ Commonwealth bogies (for current ‘Blue Riband’ Mark 1s) are still not shown on the Farish website. Has anyone heard any news about these?
  4. Crepello
    To clarify, I meant the second rendition (after the Poole version). The code numbers were 373-560 (Esso), -561 (BP) and -562 Gulf). They were in the 2019 Farish catalogue; superb models but not in the liveries to represent the earlier era.

    Having just seen that Revolution are to do another batch of modern ‘100 tonne’ tankers, would it be too ambitious for Farish to do another run of the first (1960s) version in 1960s liveries this time?

    Just Yeoman PGAs please.

    I found it more reliable to fit a Dapol Easi-shunt to the 28 and similar on the first Conflat P.
  8. Crepello
    Yes, you’re right. I’ve just alerted Farish to the problem by e-mail.
  9. Crepello
    Yes, they’re the ones I’ve got.

    Thanks for your input chaps. I ordered and have been invoiced for 379-442, but I seem to have been sent another type. Will take it up with the supplier.

    It seems I’ve wasted my money by buying a pack of commonwealth bogies to update my mark 1 coaches; these are the current ‘blue riband’ type. It appears the bogies are designed for the original type of mark 1s produced by Farish, with bogie-mounted couplings, as they have the clip-on type of coupling mount, no ‘extension slot’ on the pivot hole and no taper to the outer end to allow a NEM pocket to swing. Rather disappointed to say the least.

    If your search is fruitless I’d suggest you try LP Rails who are an official repairer for Farish locos.

    Dave, first step is to check the ‘ears’ of the Bo bogie clashing with the white pipe assembly. Despite trimming off the downwards pointing ‘tail’ of the assembly, I’ve had to file the offending ‘ear’ quite harshly to avoid any interference.

    I’ve already suggested Siphons to Revolution to produce in partnership with Accurascale as they did with the Cemflo. By the way, you can easily lower the 37 body if you dispense with the cab inserts—there’s detailed instructions somewhere on here or on the N Gauge Forum.

    The B1 is a Graham Farish model. Maybe you mean the B17?
  17. Crepello
    Mine looks like a proper rendition of the correct red colour, as do other Dapol locos.

    Plus it would help modellers plan for future investment.

    The Walrus appeals to me. Perhaps I’d exchange the bogies for the plate type as those might be more typical. The Cambrian website says the Walrus was 16’’ shorter than the Sealion due to shorter end platforms. I think I can live with a 2.5 mm discrepancy in N gauge. Good to see Bachmann going in for more choice of wagon numbers at last.

    Tomorrow (1 February) 0930. Contain your excitement!
  21. Crepello
    Do we have a date for the announcement?
  22. Crepello
    Another plus-point, the Farish coal loads fit them perfectly.

    I’ve invested in a train of the Rapido N-gauge Conflat Ps. It seems a pity to run it with all the wagons fully loaded, thereby hiding the superb detail of the Conflat chassis underneath. I’d like to know if the wagons ran partially or totally empty within the train.
  24. Crepello
    It is. Buffers were often burnished by their depots, either for special workings or just for pride in their job.
  25. Crepello
    You’ve made a great case for the 76 Roy. I totally agree.
