  1. Thanks for asking, I'm a little remiss about photographing my own layout but I'll see what I can do.
  2. We visited Belfast when we visited Maine in the late 90s, no trains but we did find the BML Budd RDC1. My take on New England railroading was Wheelock Mill, a freight only branch serving a Vermont paper mill
  3. A GE 70 tonner as Barre and Chelsea number 14 in downtown Montpelier VT (I'm not certain this was an original B&C loco)
  4. Checking my own CD collection - The Darkness "One Way Ticke to Hell...and Back" looks like a USRA 2-8-0 on the front

  6. Definite narrow gauge feel from the absence of buffers, 16.5mm is about as accurate to depict 3'6" gauge as 4'81/2"
  7. It is superbly modelled and captures the look and feel of an Austrian mainline.
  8. It could the controller, I have an H&M Clipper that I use for testing, it's just like an on/off switch for American Atlas/Kato locos - full speed or nothing.
  9. I got some made up by Precision Labels from artwork I'd prepared in Word, I used a free download of Traffic font. The instructions on Precision's website are pretty comprehensive http://www.precisionlabels.com/
  10. Sorry to hear that Steve, I was looking forward to saying hi. All the best to you & yours
  11. Hi Bill, PM sent, I used VW Mars red rattle can over red oxide primer on the MZ.
  12. Nice pictures Grizz, I believe there's an MZ refurbishment program in progress, DB Cargo has hired two MEs to cover.
  13. If you have access to a 3D printer, this is available on Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5643159
  14. When I do the online publicity for Nottingham MRS events I include railway company or nationality, scale/gauge and a brief description of theme avoiding jargon, for example. The benefit is that a layout in a more niche theme will attract people who may not otherwise come, doing so then drives footfall for our more niche traders.

  16. Apparently £325+VAT for a carnet https://www.londonchamber.co.uk/international-trade/trade-documentation/ata-carnet/ The alternative is duplicate lists which have been discussed, your suggestion of including photos of the items seems eminently sensible. Link to guidance below https://www.gov.uk/taking-goods-out-uk-temporarily/duplicate-list
  17. To answer the original query, this link may help https://www.gov.uk/taking-goods-out-uk-temporarily/duplicate-list
  18. Yes that's in Danish, most of my copies of the Nordens Jarnvagnar annual came from Motor Books.
  19. What are the vehicles you want to change the wheels on? I've changed almost all my European outline wagon wheels using either Gibson lowmac wheels, GRS replacement wheels or RP25 wheel sets from an eBay supplier in Germany. The latter source doesn't advertise on eBay anymore but Luck Feinmechanik have been recommended by other RM Webbers. I've also changed the wheels on a diesel and electric locos using variously Hornby and Bachmann disc wheels on the original axles as well as Black Beetle wheels when they were available.
