Interesting 3D printed cars here too, from another subject on RMweb.
New thread started here......
-
The first of six books I’m doing for Amberley Publishing will be available mid September. First proof has just gone back to them for corrections.
The second volume will cover the WR and I’m just finishing scanning the photos for this, it should be available in November.

I have a copy, don’t have the earlier volumes. It runs year by year giving details of significant incidents and events, interspersed with B&W images. Most of the accident images are from my collection. Nice book which leads up to when I started with BR in 1978.

Many thanks Folks the depth of knowledge on RMweb is second to none.

This time at Victoria park Bristol,
The Peak 45046 appears to have the Headcode 1S61, which suggests something enroute to Scotland!!......any clues to what service this might be July 1975. The 47 is 47369.
Many thanks once again.
-
Thank you very much. I’d been through the on line resources but not found anything. My 1Hxx books only start at 1980.

I'm trying to ID a train I have a slide of, taken at Bath Spa. It is of 47234 with Mk1 stock ( could even be a van train) taken on 14th June 1975 heading wetbound with the ID 1M26 in the headcode display.
Does anyone have access to a WR WTT or know what the train is. The date is a saturday, My grey cells seem to think there was a Weymouth to Midlands train that ran via Westbury and Bristol?
Thanks in advance...hopefully not too much head scratching.

Yes a second n gauge road vehicle topic......what conversions or mods have you done to any n gauge lorries and vans for your layout?
From back to front
ODC 8 wheel chassis and flatbed, PG models Ergo cab plus Farish sheeted resin load. Homemade decals.
BT models 4 wheel chassis, scratchbuilt Luton body, PG Models Bedford MK cab,
ODC 8 wheel chassis with the front axle chopped off, PG models Ergo cab, scratchbuilt tipper body. Homemade decals.
ODC Commer PB van was in BR livery, letteing removed and British Telecom decals from Lychett Manor added plus ladder and rack.

Like many of us buses are another fascinating subject and many of us have custom made bus fleets ( or not ) for our layouts. Any n gauge modellers out there willing to show what their bus fleets are. I know Graham Hedges will have his fleet posted shortly but who else is out there?
This is my fleet for Kensington Olympia.....picture 1
From L to R Cars Workshop DMS with TPM conversion kit, BT Models dual door Atlantean converted into a Mk1 MCW Metrobus. 2 Farish Leyland Nationals converted to dual door, the far right one has open doors with passengers alighting and joining.
This is the rest of fleet, various ODC RM's some resprayed and new blinds etc added. The RT is for driver training.

Try a search on the various photo hosting sites...
This is what “freight” finds on mine.

I think coal oil cement etc bring up results too.

Traffics now in 1/148.

They were very quick to upscale the Kadetts when I asked. Chevettes soon.

This is good stuff.
If you haven’t already had a look I recommend Grahame Hedges thread dealing with the buildings around London Bridge in n gauge. He uses a mix of mountboard and embossed plasticard plus Redutex.
Or as an alternative my Kensington Olympia n gauge layout uses plasticard and mountboard for the framework with scalescene downloaded brick papers etc.

The Metrobus after being sprayed red then masked up for the radiator grill, destination blinds etc.
With all the lights and grills picked out and decals added.

The Metrobus is nearly finished, I need to get a finer silver marker to do the window vents and some yellow paint for the front doors. All the painting has been completed and destination blinds and roundal added. Once it’s all reassembled I’ll need to add some adverts.
Pictures to follow.
A friend has sent me some underframe photos of the coaches on the Kernow 4TC for equipment positioning, I’ve asked for some more.

I had spotted that but thought they just hadn’t withdrawn it yet. Would have to glue the bonnet back down!

I've not noticed the original Renault Traffic vans (1980-1989) before - they look like a new model and are pretty nifty:

Looks like I'll have to place an order soon.

Yes the Renault Traffic is a new model.
-
Looks pretty good, Obs lights ( windscreen ) seem too big to me. They need to start lower down.

RailNscale have had to withdraw their BMW 3 series model due to the threat of legal action from BMW.
https://railnscale.com/2015/11/22/bmw-3-series-e21/
Bu***r I only found out when I went to order some.
-
Just ordered a sound version of 50043...I think I can justify that for Olympia. Used on freights through to the SR and they are bound have been used on the Motorail trains.
-
Hope it comes with all the cars too.
Serious respect - many thanks. Thought I had seen all their stuff!
Edit - just ordered the one they had. Appears to be an old out-of-production model now, which explains why I did not see it! Swiss francs - ouch.

Preserved now? What time period are you looking at Ben?
Hi all,
Does anyone know if one or more of these would be suitable for depicting a preserved loco on, say, a railtour?
My knowledge of 50s is low, and I am not particularly a fan of the class, but it'd be useful to know if one of these is suitable "out of the box."
Cheers

Some interesting models there, shame it’s 1/160 for n gauge.....and 11.50euro postage.
They do look useful for the background and they do a Reliant Supervan. My Dad only ever drove three wheelers and had a Supervan.
