  1. There is not much to follow. I am not continuing the Padstow thread as I have only space and time of US modeling now...

     

    thanks anyway

      Thanks for letting us all know.

  2. Yes, I did miss the X31a as I had originally thought it was coming in July of this year. Old eyes. I have the X31a on order at my LHS. That and an X29 rounds out the needs for PRR box cars on my little Port Costa layout as overhead traffic in EB/WB traffic in Western Division Cal-P line SP freights. 

     

    By the way I appreciate your announcements for North American products. I would have to subscribe to too many scattered places to get that information.  Unfortunately 90% if of the RTR these days is too modern for me as I am stuck in the last Harrah days of steam 1950-54.

      Actually I am more into kit building and bashing more than RTR which I only use to fill in for the RR's (usually mid-western and eastern) I don't specialize in. 

       

      I own and moderate the Plastic Freight Car Builders on groups.io.  The more useful  group is https://realstmfc.groups.io which covers all steam era freight cars. And for the extreme modelers there are the Hindsight 2020 Zoom presentations.

      I'm a member of both groups, they are very good.  And have enjoyed the Hindsight clinics.

  3. At some point in the past I think you may have described the selfie stick arm you used for your phone camera. I have found a need of such a device to capture the side of  buildings from the side I cannot access as my layout is flush against the wall. My quick brows of over 300 pages didn't find it.  I am looking to buy for a similar device here in the US. 

     

    I am not very heavily into photography and am only using a Samsung S8 with a little post photo cropping and lighting adjustment but enjoy setting up scenes and recording them. 

     

    I occasionally blog at srandsp.blogspot.com with some of the photos and the rational behind the model.
