    How great is it that us Scottish modellers can hold a proper RTR ‘yin ae oor ain’ in hand at long last. Braw!

    Given the work required to make a Heljan 14 usable on DCC, I consider this model not of merchantable quality.

      Big job for a DCC ready loco?

    Can you get RSI from operating a Powercab ? ;-)

      I don't think it's compatible - try asking DCC Supplies, something to do with the warp drive (CV69) I believe.

    I’m sorry son but we don’t stock Party gimmicks in this shop. Try The House of Fun; it’s quicker if you run. This is a chemist, not a joke shop.

    Nippy thumb from the flux, but at least with tonight’s Soldering, a 4MT and a Royal Scot are closer to going into service. And a Caley diagram 11a CCT edges nearer the paint shop.

    For all the excellence of Bachmann’s stuff, their electrically conductive, short axle LMS bogies are by far the most crap thing the Barwell boys have ever done.Sorry guys!

      There all doing it now - even Oxford Rail (in anticipation of lighting that they didn't fit anyway) Mind you at least Bachmann get the wheel diameter and the underframe length correct.... :) The bogies would have worked okay if they had retained the close-coupling arrangement of the B4's but added in a rather "slack" end to the LMS bogies (P4/EM modellers mileage may vary) ;)

    With all this dodgy mazak about, building replacement chassis in EM doesn't seem that bad a shout these days.

    1. Bob Reid

      Bob Reid

      Stick to the RTR coaches Dave (even those involved in "Bogiegate") no risk of exploding Mazak there... :)

    One Bachmann Mk1 roof de-ribbed and repainted. Trouble is it makes the other 5 look as if they need doing to match.

      A certain outcome - so much better without the "ribs" resistance of course is futile
