  1. HI all, Time to bite that bullet.... I'd like to be able to make videos of some of the modelling I get up to. I've no idea of the technology I will need to use! I've looked at a lot of videos online and noted the somewhat sparse details of the equipment used. It seems to range from simple camera phones to full proffessional gear - so I'm thoroughly confused and unsure about the equipment I should choose. Any suggestions - all welcome! Phil H

  3. Hi all, Still works for me - I use this link https://www.popupdesigns.co.uk/shop-3d-gift-cards/ Thanks Phil H
  4. Hi all, Over the 3 days of Moderail Scotland I had a lot of interest shown in this project and gained more info as well! I showed my initial artwork and that generated even more interest. Just a shame the interest didn't produce any more photos! Please note - these are done to N scale and, as they have been designed to fit on the Farish 57' GUV (there is no 54' coaching stock available as a model) are not scale models! So, research has shown that there was some variation between the coaches. Solme appear to be a lighter shade of BR Maroon compared to others. Some also appear to have had the centre door windows painted over. Then we have some that never carried the wording! Anyway, photos of the draft artwork, ready to print onto either decal paper or vinyl. Thanks Phil H
  5. Hi John, Thanks - much appreciated. Email to follow shortly! Phil H
  6. Hi Steve, Thanks for the posting - much appreciated. I thought I had seen info on modelling these, but could not find the thread! Now I know why. Book references... Mainly information from the same sources as you stated. "BR Parcels and Passenger-Rated Stock" Vol 1, David Larkin, (Kestrel Railway Books, 2014) "British Railways Pre-Nationalisation Coaching Stock" Vol 1 (Longworth) "LNER Carriages" by Michael Harris Also photos in other books covering ECML Scottish Region, BR Coaching Stock Group on IO Groups. I don't have the GER extracts, but as you say, not a lot there that isn't already known. Thanks Phil H EDIT - Steve, found the original thread.... Looked at Internet Wayback Machine and got all the text but still not your photos
  7. When I bought mine it was showing as Max Amp rating 3A Mine has powered 5 Sound fitted locos at the same time. Thanks Phil H

  9. Hi there, We had a simillar problem - not due to misuse, but to dropped and run over. I found this one on Amazon https://aax-eu.amazon.co.uk/x/c/RCbuwiEBe9fu_8JM0zYcpiYAAAGNyK3KpgMAAAH5AQBvbm9fdHhuX2JpZDEgICBvbm9fdHhuX2ltcDEgICD2IIia/http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CMXMS3J7/ref=syn_sd_onsite_desktop_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pf_rd_p=103e3e54-ecb1-49c9-932a-155637d64f72&pf_rd_r=2V88DTYNN8FBX2AJ01FC&pd_rd_wg=eFyGd&pd_rd_w=k5Xi3&pd_rd_r=c263aff2-3ff4-47aa-980b-3f55de48f806&aref=PaT5KdsHsU It''s worked for nearly 2 years without a problem. Please note - other similar products are also available elsewhere! Phil H
  10. I'm looking to gather enough info to model some of these Motor Car Vans Anglo-Scottish Car Carrier CCT(E) I have book sources for the coach info already and I've asked in other places and gained a fair amount of information already. So - Thanks to Clive for the below info See also... https://api.flickr.com/photos/tags/angloscottishcarcarrier Finding some drawings would be a big help, but more photos woul;d be just as useful. Thanks Phil H

  12. Hi there, I am a member and have been going through the 1957 documents already. That's a great start, but I'm looking for information for other years to see if there are patterns in the formations. Then I can pass on the information and let the guy make his own choices. Thanks Phil H
  13. HI all, Trying to help out another modeller after he asked questions at an exhibition. ECML - Local trains - to be modelled in N/2mm Scale Edinburgh - North Berwick and North Berwick - Edinburgh Edinburgh - Berwick and Berwick - Edinburgh Edinburgh - Newcastle and Newcastle - Edinburgh To cover period 1953 to 1963 - looking for sample train formations for these routes. Currently searching internet sources and getting ready to do a book search. Any help appreciated. Phil H
  14. Hi there, The other busses in this series have had a retail of about £56.00 Thanks Phil H
  15. Hi Phil, I'm partway through that process myself. Just been marking chassis parts, ready to cut to length, sizing rest of body parts and modifications to cab. Ready to start next time I have 'lump' of time without any disturbances! Do you have more photos of yours? Phil H
  16. Hi all, l'm also interested in the N Gauge versions of these models. Like Steven, I want to replace my PG Models ones! Any ideas of delivery schedule Gareth? Thanks Phil H
  17. Hi Andy, I have wired JST plugs and loose sockets - standard ones appear to be 1.2mm pitch. The Bachmann ones are 1.0mm pitch and I've not found any of those. Still looking though! Thanks Phil H
  18. Hi Andy, Thanks for the links - The loco board is available but the wired plug I need to go between the loco and tender is not. I've put the meter on the wires and tracked the wiring back from the loco tothe tender. I'll replace all the wires and give them the correct NMRA compliant wires. Like you, I don't know why the connector has 8 pins but only needs 6 wires. Maybe due to some loco versions having smoke as well as lights? The board itself is a Soundtraxx ECO one and should have the same connector positions as the Tsunami upgrade board. Thanks Phil H
  19. Hi all, One of our NGS Area Group members asked mew to look at one of these for his son. It's a DCC Sound fitted one, but, the wiring harness from the loco to the tender has broken. Bachmann Spares used to have this available, but no longer! So, I'm looking at replacing the plug, socket and wiring to get the thing working again. Problems? Yes - all the wires are black! Yes - the loco is wired non standard, not NMRA compliant. So, does anyone know what pins are what on the loco socket? Bachmann manual/diagrams do not have a wiring schematic. Any ideas as to which pin is which on the loco? Thanks Phil H
  20. Hi Grahame, Already found on eBay and 2 copies ordered. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126168711704?hash=item1d603dc218:g:qAUAAOSwhu5lRQ6t Will be displayed on NGS Forth & Clyde stands at future exhibitions. Thanks Phil H Thanks
  21. Hi Grahame. Thats great to here/ Once again had the other issues on the NGS area group strand at Dundee. Still lots of interest and requests about how to get copies. Information passed on - so hopefully will generate more sales once the new issue arrives! Phil H
  22. Hi all, OK - still looking at the Fork Lift carrying wagons - MHE Looking at the various photos - I need to find some different suspension units for one of the wagons. Using the 009 society chassis works for 2 of the wagons - need to make body to sit on them, but they have the right suspension/bearing type. The other wagon needs some 'Hudson Raletrux' suspension/bearings. They are available in other scales, just not found them in 4mm scale yet! See attached snip from a 1/32 scale wagon kit. So, are they available in 4mm scale and I've not found them or are they something I'm going to have to make from scratch? Thanks Phil H
  23. Hi all, Some time doing internet searches whilst I was waiting for my hospital appointment.... What did I find out? Flat Wagons - different locations made different versions. DH889 - Hudson - Dean Hill modification Unidentified - Hudson - Dean Hill modification Unidentified - unknown (ex Trecwyn) Unidentified - unknown (ex Trecwyn) Ramp Wagons - DH247 - Hudson - Dean Hill modification DH135 - Hudson - Dean Hill modification Unidentified - unknown (ex Trecwyn) Unidentified - unknown (ex Trecwyn) Nearly all the photos I have found are of the Dean Hill modified ones but a couple of photos show the ex Trecwyn ones which are very diffferent to the Dean Hill ones. Any other input would be appreciated! Phil H ps - first attempt at modelling a Dean Hill set is on my workbench now - photos to follow once I start sticking things together.
  24. Hi all, Some MAN British Army trucks are starting to appear in 1/76 scale.... This seller on eBay is one source. https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/feather3dprinting Not sure what the range is - I've messaged asking but no reply yet - I note eBay say he is away at present though. Phil H
