  1. Did not Airfix use this arrangement on some of there loco, and as i remember after a while the plungers stuck and coursed pick up problems?. I did have a 1400 that failed due to the plungers getting stuck, seems to be a little backward step. Darren
  2. Wow, Almost five years since these where first announced,
  3. Hi Dave Great set of photo's, looking back now i wish i had taken a camera with me, saw so much. Every time i see your photo's i wish it was still around as it used to be, you would see so much more on the railways then than today. miss it very much. Darren
  4. Hi Came across this on the Peco site, could not find anything on here about it. Darren http://www.peco-uk.com/page.asp?id=recall
  5. Still do not like these tank wagons, it's the lines down the tank that make it look wrong, I not going to pay good money they want for these with a model that I will have to work on to cover the lines down the tank. Darren
  6. Good photo, shows the wooden ribs showing through the roof felt well.
  7. What a beautiful little loco, it looks outstanding now seeing it with it's paint on ,looking at the list they are doing are they only do three different ones? i was not going to get one, but now seeing this..... This is Hornby at its best. Darren

  11. Hi Dave Again a great set of photos, the only thing I do not like is.........I can not give you more likes. Darren
  12. There is no compassion to the Brass clack valve, the white metal one looks very poor. Another smashing build from you Dave, DJM Z class?. Darren

      I noticed some things I had missed when I first watched it, especially coaches. Sad am I not?

  14. Having now looked at the Hornby one very closely, Dave your on to a winner with this one, looks far better all over than the Hornby one. Well done Dave
  15. Works at around £72.00 per coach, very good choice, pity its a bit late for me.

    Gone in 60 seconds, 4.3m launch, 2.8m, now down to 2.4m,The plummeting ratings are reportedly the lowest in the BBC2 show's history.
  18. I think they have been added to keep the wagons from bowing out.
  19. £134.95 for two mark 1 coaches, am i missing something here?.
  20. Hi Paint the letters with Enamel paint, leave to set over night, then use some acrylic paint and just paint over the whole lot. Leave it to dry then get a bit of stiff card and rub over the sign, your end up with the letters clear of the back ground paint. Darrren
