  3. Spanish Harlem - Ben E King
  4. Not sure if anyone has noticed but the BR sign has been put to the opposite end of the SCOTRAIL name on one side of this particular loco (this is as of prototype)? Looking at the other 47/7s and they seem to be at the start of the word. Did someone make a "cockup" when initially appling the logo to this one loco and it was never changed?
  5. Thats their old website which never reflected what was in stock or availabilty and the odd price amount. They have a much better site being prepared now but I did see a couple of the anglia 47's their a couple of days ago so best give them a ring to check.,
  6. Wish I had'nt read this forum its just lightened my Paypal but its a reasonable price compared to 200 quid on Ebay - thanks for that. By the way if you still want a Bachmann Anglia railways class 47 and their class 66 779 check out http://modeljunction.com/ They still have a few left at the normal catalogue price less 10% (don't quote me) plus postage.
  7. I got mine through an email from them on Monday which had a link and offered free P&P, i think i signed up for their newsletter a while back. But i can't even find the bells or that 66 on their website only an N gauge one maybe they've sold out?
  8. I found some other photos and i agree they look upside down LOL But they look Ok. Thanks for getting back.
  9. Ordered yesterday and arrived today the bells that Rails of Sheffield are doing to complete this loco. One warning you do need to drill holes to fit the brackets so if your not confident then i would'nt do it. But if you are they look good and complete the model and at £9.95 including postage well worth it. On closer inspection of prototype I think my brackets maybe upside down - never mind their, was no help instructions with the kits.
  10. I've just fitted to one end the bells that Rails of Sheffield are doing for 66 719 those in the know is the bracket holding bell sloped from under headlight their appears a silver plate on it?
  11. Like the overall appearance and nicelly done trackwork which can make or break a layout - well done.
  12. Not been into my workshop for some weeks but thought I must try the mgr wagons I have been collecting for some months and also the PGA's. The Dutch 47 is a present to myself. Sorry theirs a lot of clutter but the layout does work and I have based the design on that lovelly Guide Dog Bridge. Use this link to the video. http://ian-harper.co.uk/xmas-2017/index.html Sorry about occassional wind bursts but I did the video at the door - and its a removable board which creates some nice clickety clack too!! Will get on in 2018 with a follow up to how the layout builds - hopefully - MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.
  13. Seep used to be very reliable motors from years past but their latest batches seem to have issues. I'm installing about 17 pm2 and the first two I've tested go in one direction but won't return despite being aligned as best as possible and you can manually move it. The pin that fits into the shaft between the two coils does seem very loose. Problem not resolved despite using a Cobalt CDU2+ capacitor discharge unit!! Super glue worked for anyone in similar position?
  14. Now sold and residing in a roof space in Wolverhampton but rumour has it that it's new owner could have a show for it in that area! Replacement for above is a permanent tailchaser in workshop which has been built but waiting scenery and some track modifications. Also a small 00 exhibitable modern image depot layout is being built by a member of our group.
  15. Sadly I've lost two of these lovely locos due to motor burn out over the last month - interested if anyone else may have experienced a similar issue? DCC module's used are Gaugemaster 8 pin.
  16. Thats upto you but I'd much rather use them then have to be under a baseboard for hours trying to align a point motor centrally so that the switch is exact. It can be difficult enough getting the motor aligned correct to change the blades!!!
  17. If you mean the Gaugemaster DCC80 they are great they solve the problem of relying on a mechanical switch on a point motor such as SEEP to be fitted precisely and also should the blades be against the loco as it goes over point total loss of power just a derailment!!
  18. Sorry I'm not on here 24/7 but i am familiar with the debarcle that had happened so I thought my comments would bring a bit of light releif but obviously not - perhaps i should take my hobby more serious!!
  19. Lets hope the artwork is going to be off the originals or somebody has blundered on packaging and used new type??
  20. Maybe we should keep this as a secret to ourselves but does'nt the pack R6930 of 3 MGR wagons look like the latest tooling version and at £24.99 an absolute bargain while R6796 the original version at £8.99?
