  1. Yes always excellent service. The problem now is a lot of his stock has sold out especially the Markits range.
  2. Ali Express is very good for Motors and various bits and pieces. https://laisdcc.aliexpress.com/store/2977030?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.f22d1802A61pjR
  3. Unlike Hornby they are probably not millions in debt ?? As to the 8F, Hornby are going to lose even more trying to sell 20 year old "updated" version at new model premium prices. Will dealers even stock them ? The same thinking the same old tat Wagons and Coaches they still churn out , no idea what the Hornby reasoning is behind them. Again do they actually sell ? At least they have finally doing a new re run of the excellent Trout Ballast Wagon from a few years ago. However Scottish Area markings and £30 a time, sorry not viable for me at least, a wait for secondhand ones on ebay in due course .
  4. I would try the Plastic sheet option as thin as possible. Paper will absorb paint, may wrinkle, shrink etc. Cheers.
  5. Do they come with pre grouping Decals?? otherwise they are not a lot of good to me without any being available. Fox Transfers do a LNER version of a different BK Diagram. There is a free 3D download of the LNER Steel version on the Internet already , there is a Decal download on the same site for the LNER version . https://www.printables.com/model/349082-oit-lnerlms-shipping-container-1-148/files No idea re any of the others versions ??.
  6. I used Gibson universal rods on my J24 Falcon Brass version. I quickly decided I did not like them at all. Much easier and far quicker to mix two sets of Gibson Rods etches to get the correct two lengths needed. I found it far too easy to get the exact lengths wrong on the Universal etched version, then try to correct. Is there any reason why you appear to added a "bar/strip " 2/3rds up on from the bottom of the side of the D20 Tender. LNER G.S Tenders had a additional thin cover on the whole of the Coal plate area, no more than 0.5mm or less thick in all the models I have ever seen. The D20 version looks no different in photos to the normal G.S version?.
  7. Works for me. https://niumodels.co.uk/
  8. Now working , thanks.
  9. Link on entering says " Invalid Signature" ??
  10. Or Are they getting pop ups elsewhere as well ??? Nowt on Apple Mac.
  11. A2 being painted. Current A2 chassis running in with a High Level Gearbox and Motor. Some photos of my previous DJH A2 build City Of Durham from 2008 . Chassis on this is a Comet Box and Mashima Motor. DJH designed the kit as a split chassis hence the wiring on the City of Durham's chassis, DJH supplied Live and Insulated Drivers in both kits. I decided on the City of Hull Hull chassis, to just add pick ups to the Insulated side of the Drivers and a wire direct to the live chassis much quicker and works just as well.
  12. I had a PM on here a couple of days ago from NIU , try sending a PM on here.
  13. I agree , however who wants to watch Versatappen or whoever the current "top gun" win all the time . It is totally boring its supposed to be entertainment !! Sadly it is now all mainly about whoever has the most money . Hands up, I much prefer BTCC nowdays !!
  14. Hamilton should have gone to RB then we see some proper racing. Perez cant cope with the pressure ,and was a very sad sight at the end of 2023, I doubt he will last half the current season. Albon return ??.
  15. I would suggest new wheelset . The Gear is knackered and i doubt glue will hold it for very long. https://Bachmann-spares.co.uk/product/category/833/7f-wheelset---black-31-010/e3101-103-01
  16. No idea , his daughter Janet is helping him re the kits. I suggest a email to her.
  17. These may help O gauge with kit photos https://www.ellisclarktrains.co.uk/products/dmr-products-o-gauge-4mr-t4-lner-3500g-g-standard-tender-kit-1 A pending? 4mm kit of the same make. https://www.phoenix-paints.co.uk/products/4-20278 Dave Bradwell does a superb kit as well. https://traders.scalefour.org/DaveBradwell/locos-tenders/
  18. Try here charlesarthurk@aol.com His daughter is now looking after the kits.
  19. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_European_Grand_Prix I was at the practise day in the pouring rain .No idea where my photos are .
  20. Sadly HMRS products are very poor the last time I used them (alignment) . I would also go to Fox or Railtec
  21. Postal address at the bottom of the page. https://www.brassmasters.co.uk/how_to_buy.htm Alan Gibson only use a P.O Box as well.
  22. Look at all their reports over the years and you will see a common pattern of etc etc !!!
  23. Smoke and Mirrors and Sweeping Statements commonly known as Bull Ship !! . Unless every 'first time buyer" answered a questionarre saying so?, simply impossible for Hornby or anyone else to know or prove otherwise. Hornby live in hope.
