Thanks to everyone, almost all questions answered. Would just like to know, did she carry an early BR totem at any time ???? Cheers, Ian

Thanks for all the information, please keep it coming and any photos would be a bonus ! Devil is in the detail ... Cheers, Ian

Hello, I would just like to add my thanks to CSP Models, 4mm kit for W-Peckett Hercules turned up this morning. Now just want news on 1338, C14 and Ironside ....... I know never satisfied ! Cheers, Ian

First the good news, the kit for Hercules turned up today from CSP Models, now the work begins. Jumping the gun a bit but does anyone know what colour Hercules (under BR, 1950-54) was painted ? I seem to think it was GWR green, which naturally became very very dirty. Many thanks, Ian

Just thought I would add this photo of a kit built OO gauge Gas Turbine, built professionally from a NoNonsense Kit .... I think it has turned out rather well, comments welcome ...

Thanks for all your help with the original question. Thought I would just attach a photo of the almost finished A2/2 .....

Have just read through all of this topic, brilliant. I shall be phoning Kernow Models tomorrow to hopefully purchase .... How about the attached rake of MARC models 'Night Ferry' coaches behind a weathered example ..... give the 'West Countries' a break !!

Here is 18000 , I believe built from a NoNonsense Kit ......

Hello, I am requesting help or assistance regarding the following .... I have purchased a set of Etches from Mike to hopefully build the LNER/BR S1 0-8-4T Hump Shunter I intend to create this monster in its later days under BR ownership What I basically need is a list of Castings and other 'bits and bobs' that are required to complete this build. What is required and which Manufacturer they are available from. Many thanks to anyone who can help Ian

Thank you, answers all my questions ..... Cheers, Ian

Thank you for this, think I now almost understand. One last question PDK kits advertise two kits, one V - Front Cab, the other Flat Front Cab, which one of those two equates to the cut-off front streamlined style you stated ? I am assuming it's the V-Front ? Excuse my ignorance. Many thanks, Ian

Hello, Sorry if this information can be found elsewhere, but I just need a couple of precise questions answered, many thanks. I am looking to model either 60501 or 60502 in BR days, hopefully in their latter days, but that depends on the answer ! Basically which Cab Fronts did these two locomotive end their days with ? Did they run at anytime during the period 1950 - 1962 with the other type of Cab Front ? ie, did they both have both types of cab front at different periods during the BR days ? Many thanks, Ian

D2999 finished, I am the proud owner !

Hello, Yes I was interested in purchasing 1338 from CSP along with Peckett W4 Hercules, which was meant to be available at one stage and has now disappeared from their website. Infact, I cannot contact CSP by any method at the moment, anyone know what is happening ? Regards, Ian

Thank you very much for providing all the information I required Cheers, Ian

Hi Michael, Thanks, I will be in touch in a couple of weeks. I need 4 of them ! Cheers.

Right next question, These small Shunters also had the North British Motif on the front above the radiator. Does anyone know the dimensions of the Motif, as I have requested Narrow Planet to produce, as not currently in there range . Many thanks, Ian Plate shown as in this link .... https://transportsofdelight.smugmug.com/RAILWAYS/BRITISH-DIESEL-AND-ELECTRIC/PRE-TOPS-DIESEL-LOCOMOTIVES/i-jLcq626/A

This is a 4mm Crownline kit with a little bit of extra detail, Hasn't turned out at all bad in my humble opinion ....

Before RTR there were kit built 47xx ..... here is a photo of one of my Night Owls ! Any comments welcome ....

Thanks for that, could anybody please inform me which year Tender's 9043 & 9046 were built ?

Quick question, The LMS / BR Royal Scots locos, am I correct in believing they all has LMS/BR Stanier 4000 gallon tenders ? The two locos I am really interested in are 46127 Old Contemptibles and 46159 Royal Air Force ..... Did these two locos have the Stanier 4000 gallon riveted tenders ? What worksplates did these tenders carry, I believe it was two, one oval, one square ? What details were within each plate ? Any photos of tenders showing plate details would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Once again I am looking for help, information and advice.... I was hoping to model the following two classes of shunters ... * LMSR/English Electric 350hp 0-6-0 Diesel Electric .... Tops class 11, BR Numbers 12033 - 12138 * SR/English Electric 350hp 0-6-0 Diesel Electric Tops class 12, BR Numbers 15211 - 15236 The questions does anyone know if any kits or modeller aids of these two classes in 4mm gauge have ever been available ? Any information, photos of models of these classes would be greatly received. Many thanks, Ian

Hello, I believe the following is all correct, GWR inherited a W4 Peckett loco that was Numbered as '1' and named Hercules. I believe this loco was sheded at either Danygraig or East Swansea ? What I am searching for are any photos of this loco in the years 1945 - 1959 ? There must be some available ? Cheers, Ian
