Hello

We were fortunate last month to have Alan come along to one of our Club nights and give us a talk on 3D scanning and printing.

Then the next day being one of our Modelling Saturdays, he was there all morning to scan us.

I had two scans which can be seen below.

The models will be used in my Heljan 1366 class locos.

I may be short enough for a Victorian gent, but a little wide at the middle!

Thanks

Hello All

I went on the 17:00 trip from Princes Risborough to Aylesbury and return yesterday, below is a photo that I got when I got on board. 

Just after Marsh Level Crossing we had a emergency stop, as there was someone on the line, I think he had been flying a drone, he soon vanished down the bank, and after the driver and been back to the other cab, we were off again.

Below are 2 shots taken in the bay platform as Princes Risborough, just after I arrived back at 17:48.

Most of the people traveling on the bubble car where just doing the trip like we where, plus there was a number of people taking photos at both Aylesbury and Princes Risborough.

Thanks

Hello All

My two 1368 and 1369 arrived today.

Just checked them over before they have to get wrapped up from Christmas, I think they look good.

I have attached some photos, not great, along with one showing the accessory pack, which has a BELL!

Thanks

Hello

The latest email that I have had from Rails on the two that I have ordered yesterday, 1368 and 1369, is that they have been despatched on Royal Mail 48hr, so I hope to have these on Thursday.

Though I will only give them a quick check when they arrive, as I will have to wait until Christmas Day before I can run them. 

Thanks

Hello

I am too wondering if these photos on the Hattons website of 1369 (as preserved) are the production models, as looking at the items that are on the running board, of the small box above the piston, the toolbox above the middle wheel and the rectangular shape piece that I believe is something to do with the bell should all be in green, not in black.  I base this on photos that I have taken of the loco and ones on the net, plus the drawing on the Heljan website shows these in green.

Thanks

Hello All

I have just uploaded the Railex 2017 website.

I will add more layouts, traders and societies when the information becomes available.

Hello All

Had mine arrive on Friday, and got round to testing it last night, ran beautifully at out the box, mine has had sound fitted by Hattons, though it took a look through the internet to work out how to turn the sound on, as no instructions came with it, but now I know that it is Function 1. Sounds great, just need to take it down the Club when we have our next test track night to give it a proper run.

As being a diesel man, this is my first steam loco from Hornby, and it is very nicely made. 

Thanks

Hello Jeremy

Hello

Just had the email from Kernow that Ventnor No.16 has been shipped.

I placed this order on the 05/09/10, so will it arrive before Christmas?   

I will have to look out for the Royal Mail each day now!

I guess that I might be one of the last to get their's, since I plaed the order at the beginning?

Thanks

Hello Mike

The model in your picture is a Roco 63849 HO SBB Ce6/8 Crocodile Electric Loco Green III.

Hello The Stationmaster

As far as I am a where it is still there.

The link below gives you the details of what engines are used on what dates at the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway.

http://www.chinnorrailway.co.uk/locomotivetimetable

Which shows that the loco 1369 is there until at least the end of October.

Thanks

Hello

I did not manage to take any photos myself, but I had along some friends and family for the ride whilst I was at the controls.

He is one taken by Richard Neil at the end of the morning at Chinnor Station.

Hello

1369 is at the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway at the moment, and I had the pleasure of driving it on my Driving Experience on the 30th August this year.

I shall be ordering at least one, as I also have an interest in Weymouth Quay.

Thanks

This give me choice to model some with the centre stanchion removed as in some photos.

Here is a pic
