    What! Sunshine on Leith Walk? Alan

    LMS full livery created some issues on the coaches of some constituents, including the LNWR. There are sometimes raised panels often around the eaves which ended up being painted black edged in gold/yellow as if they were beading. The blocks of black ended up looking a little odd. Alan

    Make sure the adapter you've found is right for the Select in terms of output then give All Components a ring they may well know the right plug. Failing that try a local computer repair shop, taking the Select along. Obviously, as soon as you sort it all out the original will turn up in a box with an old Teasmaid and the table lamp you hate.

    Fake Dapol Products

    My mum's family lived not far from the Singer factory. In the 1930s nearly every local family had a Singer sewing machine. Not simply outsourcing. Alan

    Is the platform the alternative Longbridge workers' station? Alan

    All good then. The only things to watch for are avoiding trying to couple on curves and, presuming electromagnets, the siting of those. Your Dad's experience should avoid real pitfalls. I really like Dinghams but an assembly session drives me nuts. Alan

    There are modifications that can be made to widen the loop that helps with vehicles with a long overhang. I don't know if the Gauge O Guild who now sell them supply the 4mm version and there is also a variation around from Pre-Grouping Wagons called iirc Flippems. Alan

    The owner of Markits is unwell at present so there are significant supply problems. I understand Squires are working on developing their own wheels. Alan

    I used one of those if there was a bit to do, otherwise knife and ruler. Alan

    For the last few years I've been scanning articles of interest as well as sections of reference books. Now with the online versions I either screen print or save the whole page or spread as a pdf. The pages of the new size RM do need trimming to fit the document feed or if necessary done flatbed. Alan

    I wonder if a split axle version might be considered. Alan

    I prefer these more imaginative names (Gresley Beat, Hills of the North) as opposed to using just the station (usually). Little Blytham could be "Bottom of the Little Hill". Alan

    Given that many computers now do not have the facility to play DVDs and so we are increasingly reliant on streaming and downloading Chris Walsh putting these out makes perfect sense. Despite us all being that bit older the content remains useful. Thank you. Alan

    In one of the recent line society journals there were examples of questions for clerks' entry and progress examinations which included quite detailed questions about railway geography. Alan

    Good that they managed to get both Southern opens in shot. Alan

    To add:- in Scotland and, to a lesser degree,Cumbria wagons fitted with cupboard doors were built. I'm not sure but I don't think that difference continued after the 1923 specification. Alan
  18. Buhar
    Even as the standards became more prescriptive there was latitude for differences between builders like the shape of washer plates (strapping), buffer housings, axleboxes and position of plates. Alan

    Focussing on wingplates and louvred chimneys I've lost track of the tender variations on this model. I seem to recall long and short versions. Is that still the case with the rear toolbox being removed in HR days. Alan

    I did some sums with the 3mph rate and got 45 secs or so for 180 degrees turn by hand. A little longer to allow for getting going and slowing down. Alan

    A couple of generations back, our local Laird in Dumfriesshire whose castle had a private siding off the Caley main line was a big fan of hunting with hounds. Maybe more popular in the lowlands. His descendant claimed they had a private carriage kept there, but I'm not convinced. Alan

    Hi @Andy Vincent Not wishing to clutter or divert the D299 thread with specifics about your kits I thought resurrecting this thread might be more appropriate. Is there anywhere where the build dates of the various Gloucester wagons you feature can be found? Also, POWSides don't give dimensions for their transfers, so I suspect they're one size only and so not going to be suitable for all three of the lengths you do via Brassmasters. Thanks Alan

    I think it's double. There appears to be a peg off for the opposite line in the background. Alan

    You'll struggle to find either Avonside or Hobby Holidays versions, although Phil was considering a run of his (HH) if there was sufficient interest. That was a good while ago, so I suspect interest hasn't materialised. I'm not convinced the Poppy's Woodtech Locobox holds things reliably in their correct positions and it seems possible to erect frames out of square if there's any error between the pairs of coupling rods.
