  1. Those lamp irons look very vulnerable - at least, they would be in my hands. Would it have been possible to fit them later in the build sequence? Dave
  2. You're right. Just checked - it was a 57xx - to become 3641 in S7 (eventually!) Dave
  3. See here: http://www.modernoutline.co.uk/modern_outline_008.htm You need to specify 54xx or 64xx at the time of ordering. Didn't I buy a 64xx kit from you a couple of years ago Mark? Dave
  4. You don't need to doctor anything as MOK do a 64xx version to take the smaller wheels!
  5. Now that is a serious 'minimum space' layout! 24" x 9" would be a challenge in 2mm scale!

    Here's one of a similar vintage (but in rather poorer condition) and shows it in use as a rear view mirror. Dave

  8. Copy and paste the link from the 'share' option Dave Folks - please note this is Jon Fitness' work - not mine! I just posted the correct link to embed Jon's YouTube video. All praise goes to him please!
  9. I just tried that. Baggy eyes and wrinkles. Am I using it correctly?Dave
  10. Try http://www.touchcab.com and follow the link to the App Store. Open in iTunes and away you go. I've no idea why the App Store search doesn't find it. Dave
  11. Simon Glad the articles were helpful! I have one of these in the stash so I now have two builds to help me! Cheer Dave

    Roxey also do one http://www.roxeymouldings.co.uk/product/172/7rv1-3-ton-scammell-mechanical-horse-and-trailer/ Dave
  13. See http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/108310-darkly-labs-emblaser-affordable-laser-cutter-review/ Dave
  14. Interestingly, this photo has always been described as being of ex-P&M 1152 - even by ColourRail who sell copies of it (they have been informed of the error!). 1152 had a completely open cab rear! The 7 Swansea Peckett Es were a very varied bunch - no two were the same and their idiosyncracies enable them to be identified accurately even when the numberplate is obscured. The giveaway here is the rear coupling. 1151 has the same 2-long-link rear coupling - the only loco to do so. Edit: see this taken on the same day. Cheers Dave
  15. I suspect that we can safely eliminate a GWR 42xx from next weeks announcement! Dave
  16. I can't recall where I got the image but it may have been from here. The date is 1947. If you do build it as 968, please invest in some Severnmill numberplates. It was kind of Minerva to provide some but they are just not good enough and let the model down. 968 was still wearing its 'old' plates until at least June 1951.
  17. Simon I don't want to spoil your day, but..... Dave
  18. SimonI'm not sure how that will help! Dave

    Chaz. A further thought. The witness mark of the bogie spring ends at the chassis fixing screw. Presumably at this place, the bogie can move further in its arc but the spring wire is now opposing it just on one side. Does this impose a longitudinal rolling force to the bogie lifting one wheel slightly - enough to cause a derailment? Dave
  20. Instead of making individual turnouts you might want to consider building some or all of the track work as a single module. It will greatly assist keeping the flow of the plan. Dave
  21. Building says 'Saltdean Brewing Company', but the wagon says 'Saltdean Brewery Company'. Is there a signwriter now looking for a new situation? Dave
