BROADTRAIN1979

One more word out of you arthur .....

Hi Bernard i have pm'd you . Mark.

Im sure these will be made to the right scale! i will certainlly be obtaining a BR BLUE 20 when released anyway! . MARK

quality work super detail! Mark.

Anyone got a shrinking gun?? this will do nicely! Mark.

WOW WOW AND WOW I hope my buildings look near as good as these as mine will also be scratch built super fantastic is what i say to both harford iv and harford street. Mark.

BabyDeltic been chipped....at least we cant lose him then might catch him building Harford steet No seriously! im interested in the 23 ,as these apparantly ran on the north london line in the 60s and would love to know what they sound like as may invest in one with sound at a later stage. Mark

The more i look at her the more i love! Hmm separate cab? good for dcc sound maybe? Mark.

Hi, hopefully these will be released soon, its painful seeing but not having ...especially as they are dcc ready and with lights drool...drool.. Mark

Oh! not problems already before i have even bought them and i was looking forward to these? Do these springs fall out very easily then?? Mark.

No! you havent got enough Mark

Hi, I have just checked hattons these are still on order. Mark.

Brilliant these will be ideal for uncoupling and running back to connect the other end mk1s and bogie containers super! thanks for the tutorial Andy theses will be a hit for me! Mark.

Lets see.... Im 'n'gauge and have Two 37s one 47 a 33 24 73 dpi deltic 101, 105( conversion from 108). 2 class 501 emus a 4cor 4 cep class 50 ilustrious, and a 44.So that makes me one of the team. Mark.

For me .... it meant everything a story, a song, tv, Late 60s/ 70s life, especially train spotting with my mates! but the different locos emus dmus especially that one you wouldnt expect to see on your line?? fantastic! !also the north london line The lovely comfy 501's . Filthy& dirty just as a railway should look. Ah the memories Life seemd right then and the seasons of the year thats all....but at least i have them to look at and keep on my model canonbury! Mark.

I do so agree , sound is just as important as detailed model paving /roads etc.. Sound for me whether it be trains dogs bark /birds aeroplanes make the layout come to life which is what its all about i would' ve thought ? Mark.

Yes running 12 trains at once isnt prototypical and you cant appreciate its sounds but.... as you SR man, i run one or two normally one and you can really appreciate the sound and realistic form as i run mine as realistic as possible, i mean.... isnt it supposed to remind us of our boyhood railway memories? Mark.

I couldnt agree more, ever since i was a 10 yr old kid in 1974 i used to play with my old Hornby train set and wished it would sound like the real thing, now we have it! guess what i couldnt be without it! now keep raining loco sounds!! Mark.

Here! here! that man!! Mark.

501 BR blue. canonbury NLL. 'n' gauge. Mark.

My 'n' gauge layout canonbury NLL is early/ late 70s so im gaurranteed BR BLUE FANTASTIC COLOURS

1OO% sound for me, canonbury wouldnt be the same without it and it completes and brings the layout to life! What more could you want?? Mark.

Hi all , as some of you know im modelling canonbury station and surroundings from early /late 70s in 'n' gauge. Im already in some progress and im constantly looking for info and photos of that time, as i used that line many times as a boy with my dad back then. I just wished i had a decent camera then? as it would have been easier to model. Still alot of the old house buildings are still there and was lucky to visit back in 2003 before refurbishment although, it had lost the urinal that sat in the center of the road, it was demolished in 1990. Anyway a fair way to go yet. Mark.

1977 summer school holidays with the dracula frankenstein and friends ..midnight horror double bill on bbc2 saturday nights brilliant !!!

Amen to BRITISH RAILWAYS. I used to remember the BR gangs maintaining the tracks and tightening the bolt nuts on the railjoins,you could hear them discussing everyday life as they were walking down the track. fantastic memories!
