Hi Steve Does being part of BRM mean that the Traction Modelling section will disappear? Ian

Thanks for the info, just looking to downsize the collection a bit, I have far too many books a lot of which I don't look at from one month to the next.

Hi all Are there any dealers in 2nd hand railway books in the north east, around the teeside area or a reasonable distance thereof? Ian

Hi Kevin Could I ask are there any plans for further volumes in the Sixties Diesels And Electrics series of books please? Ian

Hi Anyone have suggestions where I might be able to get the plastic type boxes as used by Dapol and Farish for N Gauge locos, or any other suggestions for individual loco storage boxes for a number of unboxed locos that I have?

Hi Simon Any options for the 3500G Straight High side tender, the only one I was aware of was the Jidenco/Falcon Brass one? Ian

Many Thanks for the various replies, this one is on ebay at the moment, is it a 3500 or a 4000? - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126181436718?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=kTIAJmolRvW&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Ian

Just wondering if someone with the knowledge or long memory may be able to assist, Is my memory correct in thinking the whitemetal LMS tender that K's did for their Jubilee 4-6-0 was a curve top 3500 gall example rather than a 4000 gall one? Ian

Does anyone have a copy of the June 1974 issue of Model Railways please, I've tried all the usual avenues? Ian

Hi All I'm still looking for a set of Snowdon plates, does anyone know of a set available please? 247 are out of stock and have been for some time. Ian

On some of the junctions at the panel I work they have installed "flashing" aspects for the diverging route, drivers know which route they apply to and are set enough back to allow the drivers to stop at an incorrect route. Ian

Ian As you say you were at Grove Park in the 1970's, I joined BR in 1979, what we were allowed to do then and what we are allowed to do now are totally different things, you describe what is known as a propelling move, but, in recent times this has been all but banned and any move must be made with the driver in the leading cab. the only exception would be where a 2nd driver is available to drive from the leading cab. Ian

According to the Jenkinson/Essery LMS Coaching books, the LMS didn't build any TPO coaches with a guards compartment until 1950, so where did the guard travel on these trains, I know the GWR adapted a few full brakes with an offset gangway at one end to match the TPO coaches, but, I can't find anything aboout the LMS doing similar?

Does anyone have a Bill Bedford Etch for the Stephenson Valve Gear as fitted to Black 5 no 4767, this used to be available from Eileen's emporium before they closed? Ian

Hi John Can I ask what make are the rollers please as I'm looking for a set(for N gauge) to use with my loco tester? Ian

Would Rapido consider producing this in N gauge at some point?

Hi I am looking into the possibility of converting a Farish RB Royal Scot to 6170 British Legion, from what I can see there are the following differences Different Cab Top Feed nearer the dome Single Chimney Flat Wide Steam Pipes No Smoke Deflectors Longer Boiler(10 inches = 2mm in N) Anything else I may have missed, also Railway Modeller did a supplement on LMS Express steam locos which had a photo of 6170 taken at Crewe in 1946, it seems still in LMS Red, did it survive until the end of the LMS in that livery or did it gain LMS Post war Black?

Nice photographs of a nice layout, that last one of 7799 reminds me of a photo that appeared in the old Model Railways magazine of Ken Longbottom's Diggle, Halebarns and Westport layout.

Don't understand why this is such a big deal, just put your phone, laptop etc away and sit back, look out the window and enjoy the journey.

Hi Andy What is the origin of the Polybulk please, its a different type the the Farish one? Ian

Hi Ben just wondering if you are going to use the research and modelling of the 313 and 314 as a possibility of making the 508 sometime in the future? Ian

Thanks Scott, unfortunately membership not possible for me at the moment. Ian

Can visitors to the NGS show at York purchase NGS Wagon kits or are they still only available to members at shows? Ian
