How to get lynched at a model railway show
deltic56 replied to BR60103's topic in Modelling musings & miscellany
Always ask the exhibition manager Can you plug a kettle in along with the layout. That usually ensures a comment ot two. -
Now to find the other parts of the giant Airfix kit.
-
A superb accurate model of a very small but popular class. Heljan have captured the look and feel of the prototype perfectly.
-
As regards to the Australian with the "rare" Princess loco follow this link and it may explain a lot ta ok pls see this link ,http://www.dutchhrca.nl/priceguide.htm#PrincessElizabeth :banghead:

There is no way this can be a Hornby O gauge as it was nevre in BR green. It is a damaged 00 version.

A further reply from this seller: "hi works fine i can not see anything missing . r u shore it the right one as do you have pick on what it should be like , thanx for your input "
-
No the model is based on a PROTOTYPE used by the DB in the sixties to reduce costs on branchlines. Brekina have made an Ho working model. So not every strange item [ to our eyes ] that appears on Ebay is "expensive" tat just because people do not know the prototype.
-
Actually the term " Code 3 " has been used for years in the die-cast fraternity before ebay was even thought of. I believe it started when Matchbox Models of Yesteryear were repainted/altered to be different from the bog standard factory finish jobs.

May be a loud coach is the answer everybody would soon plead for a quiet carriage.

We would invent it and then always come second like in football, cricket etc.

Had that last week on the way to change the car. Her excuse honest ---- did not see you I had my umbrella up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! luckily there was no mark on the car and the salesman did not try to make out there was one there which was`nt there before etc. I will not say what i nearly called her and said to her but the anglo saxon vocabulary was running through my mind.
-
Slight problem with that -- I swear some councils make the bays small on purpose to get more cars in----- or forget that cars are generally wider than they were say 5 to ten years ago . Being of a cynical nature I feel that number one is possibly the main reason.

The catalogue actually only covers the FIRST three months of 2012.not all of 2012. Next years catalogue will bne 2012 to 2013 ie March 2013 to March 2013
-
The models/locos in the Thomas books were based on the two locos at Par or Falmouth docks I believe. They were constructed to such a small size/loading guage due to the very restricted clearances there. So it appears Hornby did NOT drop a 1 when calculating the size of the models

oil terminals no more...

Westerleigh is actually on what is left of the old Midland Main line from Birmingham to Bristol. The line finishes by the M4, but would have gone under the M4 towards Bristol via Mangotsfield. The GWML is a few miles north of the M4 at this point, you pass under it just after the M32 intersection. -
"You snooze, you lose with me! " I am sure Hornby will lose a lot of sleep over that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Stevie Wonder models stike again. It must have been made by a blind man on a galloping horse.
-
As regards to the £750 HST he says he, was told that this was a "fair" price for this item, by whom he did not say. All I can say is I would not like to but anything from his advisor!!!!
-
I also saw the list in my local shop. The owner told me it came direct from Hornby. So unfortunately it is true that the Castle has been delayed.
-
Do you actually own the pud or is it just passing through.
-
It does state O gauge
-
Me thinks that the decimal point is in the wrong place. Also have a look at his other listings a pair of Hornby Old style "Maunsell" coaches £49,95 PLUS £4.95 postage. as I say have a look a the whole list.
