In what way Roy ?
-
Is it my imagination or is the bachy one way higher ? Heljan wins on the front footsteps , over those abominations attached to the body or chassis ( dependant on where they end up ) on bluebox version . It always seems Bachmann has a Friday afternoon moment with something . Footsteps on this , snowploughs on the 37
-
I always guessed it came from the big side grids on the loco…..or its importance to the …national grid .. well I live and learn

Dating, women and the 'hobby'...

If I was looking for a new lover now, I think I’d soften her up with some more “ normal “ pursuits like gaslighting and base jumping first …. before she accidentally spies the layout along the wall, in my love palace … “ oh yes , that’s my other hobby….”- 819 replies

47001 was this version in the older tooling , but it wasn’t done well. Shawplan makes various bit and bobs for this, replica railways makes stickers for the marker lights

Enjoy your model, but people, please stop making excuses for errors and mistakes . It’s 2024, you shouldn’t have to “ fettle “ a brand new model . And what is that yellow bit by the buffer ?

Class 50, By Accurascale
rob D2 replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Dammit, they look a bit saucy. im going to have to make up some excuse of a layout to put some on ! -
Looks good , but very “ loosely “ I’d say
-
It’s flattery I think, which I don’t see any issue with . Shell island is on my “ legends “ list because it is so artistically well done and it was one of the first layouts that said to me - you don’t have to cram every inch with track to create a sense of place
-
There’s loads of layouts I’d love to copy - a lot of them BR blue and by people like Mr Futers and Mr Gibbons ( RIP). If I ever got round to it they’d be fairly crap copies - which puts me off as I’d taint the legends
-
Not so much an eBay nightmare but maybe shows the perils of charging full labour when making layouts professionally - makes even a simple layout horrifically expensive
-
They are too busy nicking people building TMDs with 2000 LED lights featuring 1960 Bachmann diesel depots , and stuffed full of colas engines making a racket

I’m almost certain it’s been mentioned , and it seems a popular idea
-
Thats a shame, I don’t live in south bucks anymore but it seems with the loss of this, the one at Aston Clinton , the one at Twyford, it really is a desert of model shops. Cant even nip up the M40 to motor books or howes anymore ( excepting paints )

Fair enough , I’m off back in time to shoot bill gates in the head with an AR15..
-
AI……was I the only one to watch “ terminator “ .We re in deep do do ….
-
Still looks like it’s on tippy toes to me - I think I cannot see a reason to move from Bachmann for this diesel
-
Very true . For me the locos are the stars and not evoking the feeling of the prototype is like…Ryan gosling fluffing his lines ! I try to be humble though when I remember all those Lima I collected , great shapes but mechanisms not quite up to it for the 90s-2000s
-
I disagree.In these days of laser scanning , CAD design etc and the fact that numerous of the prototype still exists , there’s no interpretation required….just accuracy . It’s not unfair in this day and age to expect excellence , especially for the prices we now pay - “ good enough “ just isn’t good enough .

Mortimore's Yard - '70s trip freight workings
rob D2 replied to HillsideDepot's topic in Layout topics
Be easy these days … “ runs as required “ -
Nah - humourous more like
-
And maybe I’ll get an angle grinder and fix the shape at the same time ?
-
These look way too far out to me
-
The lad did well . Verstappen won’t give up a winning drive on a tiff over staff . It’s BS

Time will tell what they come up with .
