That RMS Locotec one looks very good. I would be interested in a plain white one, as I think one in a yellow Corus livery, like the 20's were in, would look good pottering round in my steel yard. Looks like I'm going to have to rejoin the NGS. Can orders be taken at Glasgow show at the end of Feb? Alistair

Oh no

This was cancelled when Hornby announced theirs and showed off the prototype model, way back in November 2015. Alistair

There is the PG Models vehicles which also provide some weight to the wagons. You will need to put them on a diet to try and slim the weight down, the Chassis and hull areas can have quite a good amount removed. as it is on the bottoms and covered by tracks, if you pick the right models, it is well hidden. I will see if I can find pictures of any of my Large tanks I did to run on mine. Alistair

Quite disappointing for me. Yet again only a couple of models I will buy, but as I am still waiting on all of last years re-liveries that I wanted, I don't see these coming out this year anyway. No mention of the DBSO in the product updates either. Alistair

Just spoken to my mate at Dapol. They think they know what the issue is but can't do anything until they are back in the office tomorrow. Alistair

Dapol are aware of the issue and looking in to it. Alistair

best thing is the FUD. As it won't print in any other materials Alistair

Could post links to high res pictures hosted externally on DJM website would be one way round it though. Alistair

https://www.shapeways.com/shops/alswagons?li=pb Plus there is a sale on enter Farewell2016 at the checkout for 20% off Alistair

They have been produced by me on shapeways, there is a modern warwell and warflat. Just needs the ATM GP22.5 bogies a splash of paint and transfers to complete. Alistair

Mike, What have I told you about choosing things that you want. It's got to stop, all this overtime to buy the models you want, and by extension, I need, is killing me! Alistair

Managed to catch this as it went through Oxford Parkway ready for naming at Oxford. 68010 with covered over nameplates. It was revealed earlier today and has been named 'Oxford Flyer'. Didn't manage to get a picture of the uncovered plates as it hadn't returned before I left. I'm sure there will be some pictures of the actual plates before too long. Alistair

Dapol collectors club model this year for N is Evening Star. That was a Deco sample.

I was never happy with the ally channel option, especially when on my first trip out all of the servos on the bottom board fell out, then this popped up in my Facebook feed. http://www.alurailtech.co.uk/home.html An aluminium bracket that the servo bolts on to for £2.50. Not the cheapest option but works out a cheaper option than trying to produce my own 3D printed thing. It also had channels to locate the micro-switches for throwing frogs or signals. No connection other than a happy punter. Was a bit gutted that after having a chat to Dave yesterday, he said I couldn't have my relay driver board because he had sold so many of them. Just before he left he threw an extra box of them in the car but said he didn't expect to sell that many. I knew I should have pre ordered them. It is due to be posted out today so can't complain really. Alistair

I have messaged you Matt. Alistair

They are the S stock delivery train, usually there's an underground train between them. Alistair

That would have been one of the early shows it went out to. Kidderminster in March 1996 was first. Its not doing too badly for an old timer! Im not there on Saturday, only Sunday this year as too many members wanted to man the stand unlike every other year. the 323 will get done at some stage, just got to build my currage for all of those curved lines around the cab and doors and windows. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:London_Midland_Class_323.jpg It will look good, once i pull my finger out. Alistair

I started with the much simpler DRS livery. Looking at the 323 bodyshells that I have, that are to go into London Midland livery and quite frankly it scares me! You need to get your Wharf fix in quickly. It's officially only got 2 shows left before it is retired. However this was the plan with having a new layout ready but that is still a long way off. So it might be out be out again. Next show is Corsham (I think, can't find my diary) in April and it's 20 year return to Warley in November. Alistair

great job on that paint work. Are you sure you've not done it before? Kinlet Wharf is ready to be connected not quite sure your 2016 standard 2mmFS will match to our 1993 trackwork with pizza cutter scale pointwork Alstair

I'm just hoping that some of the models announced 2 years ago in 2014 get released next year. but I'm not holding my breath Alistair

i think i need some commission from you Mike. I passed it on to some people i knew had missed out and i think they have had most of your stocks! Alistair

I will be interested in seeing your DG fitted solution as I am going to be going that way with my EWS ones on each end and each ends of the blocks of 6 on my greenergy ones.

I didn't get an email, they just appeared at work today. Good job my opposite shift was in a good mood and signed for them. (Previously has declined to accept things) Alistair

They have arrived :yahoo: :yahoo: Looking great, think they may all get unwrapped and posed on the boards tonight, you know, just to check the size against the fuel farm area. Alistair
