Scottish Modeller

Hi all, Highly recommended.... http://www.themodeltreeshop.co.uk/ Fast service, reasonable prices, good products.... As seen on Haston, Vt! Seriously though.... Owners accomodate most requirements and give expected delivery date if they are out of stock of the specific items you want. Thanks

Hi there, Too late..... All the hall space is already fully allocated! Thankfully it includes Mark's Rannoch Moor layout. for all the details.... http://www.modelrail-scotland.co.uk/ex2013amrss.html Thanks

Hi all, Just to keep you all salivating.... More photos! Thanks

Hi all, As per the Ayr Exhibition thread... Some photos! More photos from the show can be seen at:- http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n100/Scottish-Modeller/ Then look for Ayr Model Railway Exhibition 2012 Thanks

Hi all, How about an early Dumpster truck with bins? Seem to remember seeing them in the films going back to the 50's so would expect to see this. I've found quite a lot of interesting photos on this website http://pinterest.com/gigistoll/street-cred/ I'm sure I've seen a photo book about 1950's to 60's New York with this sort of thing in it as well. Thanks

Hi Charlie, You mean to say you left Arran in a Container Port! Just how many varieties of container do you guys want to produce... When do we get the HO versions! Thanks

Hi Ray, The first Fork Lift trucks were early 20th century. A search on Google 'Early Forklifts' will provide you loads of info plus photos! Short answer - Yes - a forklift truck is appropriate. Just what type! It was the 2nd world war that made the forklift a 'must have' for companies that were transhipping goods ets. Thanks

Hi all, Someone's been looking in my drawings file! One of the ideas I had for a Guilford layout in N was based on an inverted T. Gradually I moved the upright vertical bar of the T further and further away from the centre. Something like this..... Grid is 12" Loads of others as well - too many on paper and not enough on software - let alone built! Thanks

Hi Matt, Not sure about Flickr - I already have Picassa and Photobucket sites. I am getting close to limits on those though! Will have a think and see what else I have available. Checking on my ISP - I have 1gigabyte available as webspace. and may decide to get the finger out and use it. Watch this space! Thanks

Hi all, Waverley Structures..... Before the demise of Fotopic I had a whole Ablum dedicated to 'Now' on the Waverley route - specifically the current site for stations. I'm not sure if I should reload everything somewhere or just post samples on here? Anyway... Some tasters Thanks

Hi all, An update about the layout - 'Moor of Rannoch' as mentioned above. Layout photos are now available to view:- http://alanmitchell.....com/p471287138 The layout will be on display at:- BONNYBRIDGE & DISTRICT MODEL RAILWAY CLUB MODEL RAILWAY EXHIBITION 29th & 30thSeptember 2012 Bonnybridge Community Centre Bridge Street, Bonnybridge FK4 1AA Visit the website later in the year for more info http://www.bonnybridgemrc.co.uk/ Please note - This is a change of date as well! Thanks Phil H

Hi Mike, This photo of the snowshed at Cruach is taken on a layout called 'Moor of Rannoch' built by Alan Mitchell. It used to have a Fotopic site dedicated to it but since the demise of Fotopic Alan has not reloaded them anywhere. I can ask and see if he is willing to let me use his photos if there is sufficient interest. Thanks Phil H

HI Rod, If I could attach an idea I've been working on - I would! I can't - so see direct email. Now - How do I get some PRA bodies? Thanks

HI Ian, In which case... I want to know the tweak! Runs superbly - no messing about with sorting pickups, motor position.gear meshing etc..... Sure winner if it can be adapted. Thanks

Hi all, Been done before and the modelling of it is unlikely to be surpassed..... Thanks

Hi Ian, I've had a play with the chassis....... Not for use on 'Modern Units' like the CL320 etc However - will find a use under the CL303 and CL311 EMU's though. Now - if only I could find a way to get Replica to do a similar chassis to suit the 'Modern Units'.... As well! Thanks

Hi Mark, I already have some in stock - Just in case......

Hi Ian, Come on - Where's the pictures...... I've still got to build a pair of CL325's for the Scottish Layout and need all the inspiration I can find! Thanks

Hi Rick, There was a discussion about this coach on Scottish Modellers some time ago. Thanks for posting the 2 photos you have as these are the best we have come across! Anyway - Our info confirms what Mike has said. W9004W - Inspection Saloon Swindon 1931 Diag G59. Our information also has indicated that modifications were done in 1971. We do not know what the modifications were or where they were done. Attached are 2 scans photos sent in one of our members of this coach at Kyle. Photographer/owner not known - Unable to confirm with the member as he has passed away. If anyone either knows whose the photos are or is the photographer - please let me know. Then we can update our records approriately. Thanks

Hi Mark, I told you not to buy a Black 5.. I already had one lying on the shelf that you could have had! Never mind... Thanks Phil H

HI all, These were available from Crownline at some point in history. Aug 1992 Railway Modeller carried a review. MRC Jan-71 carries a Scale Drawing BR Tavern car sets Fielding, R H Probably more details on the SEMG website? Thanks

Hi all, At the moment we are all laughing up here! Edinburgh has a hard frost but no snow! OK - If you go out about 10-13 miles to the south, there is snow! But not a lot...... With less than 3 weeks to Modelrail Scotland - we need it to stay away from us! Thanks
