Nope, I don't believe it. I've raised you one Love brick. Now show me your Loud flyer.

"William Loud" Must be a livery application error? Surely it should be William Love. Illegitimate son of Joseph Horatio who, out of revenge bought his late fathers Banana Brick Company to turn it's clay pits into a Winter sports emporiorium and experimental cattle insemination unit. https://flic.kr/p/HXMSaw

You're welcome. 😊

I will! ` Oh dear.

Expo EM Bracknell, 2022. The sight of Mr. Suttons knees at the above set me all a of a dither! Has it really been over two years?

They's need a SloMo camera to catch me at the lightning speed I move at.

Wot! No videos of the moves around spoons on Sarada neet?

Guess the layout? Unfortunately, no prizes for correct answers.

Waaaaaayyyyyyy ahead of ya. 😉 P

Not quite correct. From new, LMS built batches (some for the LNER) which had double sided brakes with twin V hangers to each solebar. Some of these were converted to piped only in BR days retaining their original brake gear, some went through the vac brake fitting program having Morton Vac brake gear fitted with one of each pair of V angers then removed from each solebar and some remained in original unfitted condition until withdrawn. Gunpowder vans, an absolute minefield! 🙂 Oh! and thanks to Rapido for giving us the free solebar rivets for the vac. cylinder bracket. Nice that you fitted them to both sides on all versions. P

Yep. If you're modelling the van in the livery correct for period, one side of the brake gear should not be there. Looks like rapido used Z4 as updated by BR then preserved as an example. 105781 in original condition as here. https://flic.kr/p/kmgBpk What I can't understand is why Rapido felt the need to include two right angle bends in the brake lever. I can't think of any modelling or production compromise that would make this necessary. Also I'm thinking it would have been an improvement if the brake lever guides had been prototypical split as opposed to solid. I mean even OxfordRail are achieving this on wagons that are available at a fraction of the cost. I'll be replacing mine with etched. This pic shows the "cranked" brake lever. P

You bet! I'll link to my post earlier in the thread showing HAA and HCA loads and strengtheners.

Does anyone know on what day the the Corporation Dustcart empties the bins around Barwell? (LE9 8EY)

Smashing observational weathering in those hoppers.

My bank will supply paying in envelopes to use at my local Post Office (now part of a local filling station). They are supplied F.O.C. and can be ordered via telephone or internet banking and picked up at their branches.

This is nice. The original photographer exercises his right not enable BB code to allow embedded viewing so here is the direct link: https://flic.kr/p/2nfSJMg

Maybe you'd be better off asking in the Hornby 88DS thread? R3895 or R3896. That is the question?

Tiers for Souvenirs. Doddy knew a thing or two.

Just keep the injection moulding machine running. They still must hold (and respect) the licence to manufacture this.

Nah. My Z4 will av wheels and buffers on. Sprung anall. Thanks to Rapido for giving us separate W irons and using very little clag in the assembly procedure. Mines to be part of a 1959'ish rake of 4, or maybe six that used to get unloaded at the bottom of our garden. I'll be including a couple of chopped up (Exploded?) Dublo and a Wrenn in the consist just for completeness. I might even build one of the magazines that me n' me mates used to play J@ps n' Nazi's around during the early sixties. During WWII "me Grandfatha" grew vegetables around the nearest magazine to the old homestead. His logic was, the Gormons aim would never be good enough to score a direct hit during a bombing run. To this day' the odd cauliflower still pops it's head up occasionally. Better get of to bed cos I'm off on a train journey in a few hours that will take me to drive another train that has a few GPV's in it's make up... P P.s. I do like the odd buffer stop. Nice that the T.T. allows linking to its photographs.

Probably a lot quicker than getting the body off the chassis with its twenty attachment points. Yep twenty... 20! 4 x setscrews. (Body to W Iron casting). 2 self tappers (Couplings). Six alignment tabs. (1 on each corner and two transverse). 4 Spigots (Brake safety hoops). 4 x self locking tabs (Plastic outer chassis). Bit like the twin chassis Lotus 88 (or the Hornby coke hopper). I've noticed a few insignificant and minor errors but I'll let the influencers of the model railway community comment on them. P

A case of premature Deltic perversion?

They made cakes and had a string of bakeries and restaurants in towns throughout the north and the borders. I used to spend my old mans luncheon vouchers (LV) upstairs in here.
