I can't see LBSC loco insignia though, just freight stock, others may know though. Glad to help!

I am similarly fustrated. Did chat to HMRS about LBSC and they do have something in the pipeline - so worth feedback to them what you are after ... but probably a year away. However do look at EBM models at http://www.mjwsjw.co.uk/

I make my own! (LBSCR & SECR)Commission orders are available

Don't use Super glue on the first date. If you go down that road you will be inseparable.

has just found himself wondering how well soldering irons would lend themselves to SM plays...

Probably best to stay away from gauge wars on a first date

I'm in for one, I've resisted getting it a "friend"...

I was resisting until I saw the video posted today, good marketing Hatton's! Still, I think industrials look right as a pair :-)

Did you use a Barclaycard for doing so?

Dutch_Master: Interesting thought, thank you! Given that most locos run with support coaches, that's a possibility...

Now there's a fascinating challenge - more like an impossible dream I suspect but good luck.

Very much good luck

Run?

create a help topic - status updates are not the bast way of getting help ...

Jon: Thanks, will have another look this evening. Half tempted to return the whole thing as a lost cause!

Yup, a Piko Saxonia. What a beautiful model!

I remember when we still had the DDR. I was surprised to find that it produced cheap model locos compared to other HO manufacturers of the day. A Br.03 "Reko" was only about £35 to £40 back in 1988...

You are right they are very very nice!! I am getting the H Class from my local model shop for that price! But even with the discounts he would be able to give me I can't justify it Perhaps I will get some second hand in the future. Until then, I have managed SECR loco lining before so the coaches should be easy!!

I'm envious of your abilities at lining then! Even with the S E Finecast SECR transfers I'm not particularly happy with mine... They seem rather over-scale.

Thanks, but before you get to envious why don't you judge for yourself. After all just because I'm happy with it doesn't mean someone else would be. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/107470-oak-hill-lbscr-secr-1905ish/page-38#entry2767340

Halifax.

Apparently I have one sat in the sorting office!

Mines flying over from Cornwall

Yes and I think someone does 1/8th to 2mm stepped axles, I'll look it up after lunch out.

That's very helpful, thanks to both of you!

Glad to help

Are they somewhere near Brighton?

5&9 Models? They do LBSCR models, but actually based in Shropshire!

There is a lot of work to do to the Bachmann E4 to back date into IEG condition!!

Even from the LBSC umber version? Darn, I was hoping I could get away with just removing some lamp irons...

You're looking at changing the smokebox to a built-up one, plus a tapered chimney and new safety valves (I think), at least. The bunker probably needs the coal rails taken off as well.

without a picture we will struggle but try using a small screwdiver like a cold chisel and knock it round on the outside of the screw with a small tiny hammer.

drill the head out then use some molegrips to remove the remains once it's apart

that works too

You'll never get them past the rivet counters!

Were some cattle wagons used for the carriage for barrels of beer? I'm sure I read that somewhere....

Yes they were.

Take your soldering iron from its holder

And burn your initials in my shoulder

Fracture my spine

And swear that you're mine

- sincere apologies to Tom Lehrer

Love it - you had me sniggering out loud at the workbench! Quick photo for them as is interested: https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/10153929_649994431801585_1826200992251257977_n.jpg?oh=ba08742b694e6305158fe5893dadaf1d&oe=5624B07E

Great piece of craftsmanship there fella, now you`ve seen the light...

We swear a lot!

Glad it's not just me then! Trying to do all the front-end handrails on an industrial tank engine - boiler side, tank front and smokebox front handrails all next to each other!

Maybe try and find a southern modeller with the LSWR half to trade with?

PM me the sheet number, I might have some spare ...

check these

if it works in 2mm 4mm plus is a doddle

Interesting, thanks!

If you can't find the Dremel head over to Lidl's on Monday

That was yesterday

Perhaps you and muddys-blues could compare notes about a surfeit of coaches? :-D

Build a bigger plank! Simples!

(Despite them both been GWR) Result!

It's unlikely to be all that close to the real thing, but it looks better than a big electric motor in the cab!

Essentially yes - similar but different! Modified with air compressor box, short fuel tank and thicker buffer beams

No, it doesn't do 0-warp 8 is 12.4 seconds.

Still got one.

So they *do* exist! I swear, if I could ever find them on eBay... I want at least two!

Payment offered either in the form of a pint or ballasting services!

Beg/Steal/Borrow a Dehumidifier? I used one for months in a rented flat...

I found the garage exactly the same, unfortunately a total no go area.

What sort of issues? I haven't used it for a couple of weeks, but it was ok then...

Use the Ebay subforum please, the sidebar is inappropriate for this.
