    Amazing number of people clapping here! Thank you to all NHS workers and volunteers: it makes one proud to be British.

      Felt a bit of a prat sitting on my own clapping at the TV with no neighbours to share it with, but it just seemed right.  Got a bit teary too, those folk are so brave.  Alan

    I'm surprised how few UK locomotives have the word 'fox' in their names...

      Cardean and Eglinton (Caley)?

       

      Without seeing some of the earlier (hidden) replies I thought the definition of a fox had moved on and that Beatrice, Jeanie Deans and the The Princess of Wales were being assessed in a rather 1970s Austin Powers sort of way.

    Planning on building a L&YR Class 7 in oo gauge and looking for any info or tips on scratch-building it

      I presume you mean the 1400 Class Highflyers. 

      1) The largest driving wheel readily available is 7'0" whereas these were 7'3".  Not a huge problem as the flange will help visually in OO and wheels were turned down as they wore. 

      2) Get a copy of Barry Lane's LYR Locomotives (I suspect you may have one).

      3) Join the LYR Society.

      4) There was an Ian Beattie drawing in the Feb 1985 Railway Modeller.

      5) There were two sorts of valance under the running plate and some locos were superheated for a while.

      6) You will have "fun" capturing the Belpaire firebox shape!

      7) Start a thread as you will capture more comments and opinions rather than relying on your profile.

    Some may have noticed that I now seldom or no longer update my Caledonian loco and carriage threads. I’ve decided to withdraw from posting my obviously mediocre modelling efforts and as I’ve done over the last six months will now just share with a select few good friends through PM’s I shall still chat about general subjects and ask questions as before but my own modelling efforts will now remain private.

      There are numpties available as a free gift with forum membership. You are not one of them and your approach of scratchbuilding everything between the buffers and below the whistle then calling it a conversion is inspiring. Please have a rethink, Steve.
