  1. Hi WeatheringMan Did you post your fix for the GBL King cab windows? I seem to have missed it. Regards, Nick
  2. I have copies of a few of the London division local coach working books. These detail the formations of stopping trains by class of coach (ie. third, van third, composite, etc) and whether gangwayed or not. If you have a specific time period in mind let me know and I may be able to assist. Nick
  3. Two Kings bought at Sainsbury's, Wellingborough, this morning. Not too bad apart from bent handbrake handles on both tenders and connecting rods detatched from wheels on one - but did push back into place. Reversing lever doesn't quite reach the ' box' in front of the cab. (Oh, and wrong colour for a GWR loco!!) Rivet detail on cab roof so, I presume, Hornby rather than Lima?
  4. Issue 19 - Princess Royal Class, now on website.
  5. Butler Henderson now shown on the website as issue 16.
  6. I believe 1401 was still in wartime black livery with 'GWR' on the tank sides but with the 'GWR' painted over by three patches, each side. In the film there certainly appear to be patches on the tanks.
  7. Thanks, but we have to credit 'Northduk' with that phrase since I was quoting his post and messed up including his username!!
  8. I'll have to try your method Chris. I'm very interested in your build as St Blazey shares several features with my box. My effort to date (including wonky roof)!
  9. Thanks. I made a signal box roof, using similar construction methods to yours, but found after a while the edges started curling up. I think though it was probably because I made my slates from plasticard and used plastic weld to fix them to the roof!
  10. May I ask what thickness of plasticard you used for the roof slopes please?
  11. .......Il Grifone - Your 43XX models seem to have followed the same path as many of my Airfix Mag conversions. Mine were mostly military vehicles and were scrapped when later sources revealed how inaccurate some of them were. Some of Chris Ellis' guesses were very wide of the mark. Even so, a few remain in the scrap box in the loft as souvenirs of a simpler time.... My version of the 'Airfix 43xx' from 30+ years ago: Never did get round to a motorised tender!
  12. Would this be suitable for the layout? Seen at Didcot today, recently painted.
  13. Are they selling out because more are being bought or because GBL are manufacturing less as the series continues?
  14. I have some of the London Division books if anyone is interested?
