Level crossing stupidity...

They are headlamps, light is what comes out of them. -
Strong enough, I make up three links for them.

RT models, do a Giesel ejector for the Bullied BOB/ West country in the Albert Goodall range.
-
BS381C 276 Lincoln green
-
I doesn't matter, four wheels will have the same grip as six wheels with the same weight spread over them.
-
Looks like near Ramsgate harbour. Margate would be behind him and Deal in front.
-
Originally Blackheath, south of the river
-
It was big, but it ran alonside the Wimbledon/Tooting Merton Abbey line.

I wouldn't use car engine oil it is not safe for some plastics. Especially if there is any chance of getting oil on motor armatures. Oil leaks from car engines into starter motors and alternators ruins them by softening the insulation on the motor windings causing them to short out.

The new batch of Van B's have just landed at Hornby, so we can get back to 7 planks now
-
Not that I have seen, As TBG said, some Nelsons used the tenders from S15's which where replaced by watercarts were their bearing problems would be less of an issue.

Large Locos on Short Trains

33 with just a couple of hoppers, Feb 85, south of Redhill.

My ECM motors still run fine, used them mainly because they where available with a bracket for X04 replacement in kitbuilt locos that used X04 motors, with 40:1 gearing good low speed control in my freight locos.

Sure about that?

No, five pole.

It might be a company car/hire car. -
Bachmann to produce ex LBSC Atlantic H2 Class 4-4-2
bigherb replied to Graham_Muz's topic in Bachmann
When I first looked at that photo it reminded me of Triang steamroller wheels. -
The V2 was annouced at least a couple of years ago as a new body for the previous upgraded chassis, the announcement this year is a renouncement that it it will be all new including the tender.

Which green did you use on the Ronson?
-
Yes, the Hornby Peckett is a masterpiece in design. It is a filtrator fitted to the docks engines to help combat the poor water quality from the docks supply.
-
I bought one, only because they are cheap at the moment. Not really any problem with the yellow ends just a bit of overspray into the grey at one end but hard to see with the naked eye so I'm not bothered about it. But certainly doesn't run as silky smooth as the Hornby 87.

Conversion kit for Airfix 4F to Maunsell Q
bigherb replied to Jim49's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
Or the Wills/SE Finecast kit on a Triang/Hornby chassis.

It's soft, but it snags in the drill bit, I always use cutting fluid which helps.

My Beachy Head one came from Hattons so they have had some.
