  11. Can't wait for the release of this loco, we had four of them here in Scarborough, my late farther in law was a driver at Scarborough and would be driving them on a regular basis. It's interesting that two of the four 82027 and 82029 are being produced by Lionheart. Ian H Scarborough

  17. Ronseal Acrylic Diamond Hard, Used it for years, covers well only needs a few minutes between coats and best of all really easy to clean your airbrush after use (just needs water) The Matt when sprayed is very slightly a sheen finish, I always add just a little drop of water to aid spraying. Also available in Gloss and Satin. Silverlink
  18. When I hear the name Heljan it fills me with DRED! Having moved over to ‘O’ gauge around six years ago I started to build my loco and rolling stock collection for a new show layout I was building. As well as some superb Loveless and Golden Age models Pacifics and some kit built models I also bought some Heljan diesels. Along with a couple of friends we purchased a Class 20, 31, 37, 40, and Deltic. The locos were eventually run on the new layout where after only a short time the 20 ended with broken gears and one motor, the 31 broken gears, the 37 broken gears, the class 40 faulty front wheels that kept jumping off the track and Deltic broken gears. The 40 was sold and at the moment the only loco repaired is the Deltic which I managed to get new gears for from Howes. As well as the locos I purchased some Heljan 30 ton Class B tankers which as soon as they were out of the boxes bits started to drop off. I think nearly all of them have lost buffers with the ladders up the side of the tanks also coming loose. As a member of the Gauge ‘O’ Guild I know there are plenty of fellow members who have suffered similar problems. I have no confidence in Heljan anymore and until they up their quality control I for one will not be buying any of their products. Ian
  19. Hi Andy, Sorry for the delay in responding, the printing is done on a type of embossed wallpaper so you should have no problem bending it. I've been putting on buildings corners where there is no problems. I use UHU glue on both paper and whatever I'm building leaving it fro a couple minutes before sticking the two sides together. Thanks Ian
  20. Should have ex A3 Corridor tender to withdrawal, I have it as 5326 to withdrawal ( ex Dominion Of Canada).
  21. This is a link to the guy in Greece, I've bought loads of different sheets from him and never had any problems. Only two weeks ago I had a delivery which took approx one week. This is a link to him and if you go to other items top right of the page that comes up there are lots of different types available. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-SHEETS-BRICK-stone-wall-PAPER-20x28cm-O-Scale-BUMPY-EMBOSSED-n6h7/392263132333 This is one of my scratch built buildings I made using his paper. Thanks Ian
  22. Try RCTS Part 2A Lots of information in there on most of the Pacific's. I've used it a lot when doing repaints and number changes. Cheers Ian
  23. Hi Richard, A few years ago I built a triplet set as used on the Flying Scotsman and Elizabethan, the set I built was the Thomson set and I used Southern Pride sides and Comet chassis, ends, roofs and other bits required. I made my own interiors using tables and seating from Southern Pride. The three coaches comprised of 63' First open Restaurant, 63' Kitchen Car and 63' Standard open Restaurant. I'm sorry but I can't remember Dia numbers but I think they may be Dia 350, 351 & 352 Hope this helps. Ian
