Hi Ian, it's a 4mm Spinner, I'll spray it. What do you use for Midland locos?

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations/favourite paints for Midland red on a pre-grouping Spinner?

Hi Davey, thanks for the reply, I've got many a stalled project stacked away in the railway room. In fact last week I did a wee bit more work on a lovely Connoisseur B12 kit, which according to my notes on the instructions, I'd last touched in 2016! I think it was the curved footplate that had worried me. Sorted now.
The reason I asked you about your H1 is partly because I'm unsure about the tender. And also; I don't know if you're aware of the Gauge O Guild's series of online videos called "An Evening With...". NIck Dunhill has a number of scratchbuilding presentations which feature him building an H1. He'd asked for suggestions of what he might build and went with my interest in an H1. If you feel like a little inspiration to unblock your stalling you may find them useful...they are, anyway, very educational and entertaining! Here's the first one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L9wrvy_EEY&t=4898s

Hi Davey, I hope you are well. Did you continue with your H1 project?
Cheers

Brilliant, thanks both!

Hi, can anyone tell me a source for holders for locos etc whilst airbrushing. I'm thinking of those sprung tongs that go inside the loco body?
Cheers

Thanks Roger, this has a very useful explanation of how the thing actually works! I particularly appreciate the separation of the controller board and capacitors to provide extra space options.
Cheers

Thanks both very much for your help. I'll try hard not to have anything go bang! Cheers Simon

Hi, could anyone explain, very simply and preferably with pictures(!) how to wire up a Staco 1 controller circuit? Particularly with very little knowledge about these things, how do I find the negative and positive terminals on the Goldcap capacitors!
Cheers

That's astonishing, and quite beautiful Frank, congratulations. Do you use any side control or springing on the front pony truck? Cheers Simon.

Thanks for all the interesting replies! I'm hoping to set the layout around 1915, and really want to have the turntable. 40ft sounds good, I'll probably make it to fit whichever small tender locos I'm keen to run...and I've got the engine shed book on order!
Thanks again

Does anyone know the size of the turntable that was at Ongar station/? Possibly 45ft?

Thanks, I'll have to have a hunt around!

Way back, in 2014 or so, someone mentioned bogie bread vans of the LNER, Dia 335. Does anyone have drawings or photos of these rather elusive vehicles? Cheers Simon

That 2P looks fantastic Peter, what paint did you use?

Thanks everyone. Very interesting! I would love to get hold of some cellulose paint, I use an airbrush in a very well ventilated shed! Where do you source yours Ian?
Cheers Simon
