  1. Geoff was given duff gen, change the bogies, you've got B4S ones there I believe. Also be careful with the roof detail.
  2. Along with new bodysides/roof/cabs/noses/bogies, as, with comparison to the drawings at the HMRS, it's even worse than at first sight!
  3. Weren't the first 10 at York initially? (Can't get to my references at the mo).
  4. The w*nker who buys it will need the tissue.
  5. (.I MAY BE LISTING TWO MORE IN THIS CONDITION). Yeh, if he can find a big enough mug to buy the first one.
  6. From what I understand from friends in the trade, small retailers hope the driver buys an ice cream/chocolate bar/can of drink for each of the occupants, that way he makes more profit than the fuel.
  7. Well, 4 mugs customers have bought them, so they are accelerating it's rarity!
  8. You just pick any 4 letters in scrapped
  9. The Hornby Dublo Deltic "looks" like a Deltic. Oh, and also, the 76 isn't only wrong in one tiny area.
  10. I think he's being a tad liberal with his dating?
  11. Well, it doesn't grow on trees (Going for coat)
  12. Yes, Grimesthorpe shed/Sheffield freight terminal on the left. It will be dropping off the minerals at one of the steelworks along the way most probably.
  13. Non Passenger Carrying Coaching Stock ? As a horsebox carries a groom is it non passenger carrying anyway?
  14. The recent DMU book by Hugh Longworth has the information you require.
  15. I believe Bachmann have stretched the body of the BR cattle wagon to fit the "correct" chassis, so anything is possible.
  16. Just digging a hole in the floor for my jaw to go into! As an aside, I assume you measured the OD of the pipe, as 40mm is the nominal ID of plastic pipe.
  17. I don't even bother with new wheels, just pull out the existing Bachmann ones, they run through pointwork ok. Needs the back of the axleguard and solebar cutting flush though. I cut a 45 degree chamfer on the inside edge of the brake mouldings to clear the wheels. The fixing screws are easy to cut with a decent pair of cutters so you don't need to waste washers! Also be careful of the brake levers, depending on the model, it may have been assembled with levers that take the brakes off when applied. Mike.
  18. Yet again!!!!!!!! New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item. He's done very well to weather it in the box, far better modeller than me.
  19. Don't know what it is, can't put my finger on it, but......., something doesn't look "right". Still have a couple though
  20. Ron, will the layout be housed in an air conditioned/temperature controlled room?, the thought of the heat over there affecting the structure and warping it in some way would give me nightmares. Mike.
