Good morning David, I have full faith in you’re skills, I look forward to seeing another layout mate for 5202 ;-) Best regards Craig

Evening Jints, sorry the 33 has turned into a ball ache, and sorry for the late reply, just got back from a charity quiz for Wales Air Ambulance, Hope the 33 doesn’t give you too much hassle Bet regards Craig

Hello Larry, Pen Llyn was bathed in sunshine later today after a very wet morning till lunchtime. Lovely shot that with Castell Harlech in the background. Best regards Craig

You mean no English vowels ? ;-) why would it ? it’s a Welsh name place, and there are 2 Welsh vowels W & Y ;-) Best regards Craig

Paul it’s easy .... as the locals say .... Llanfair Pee Gee .... there told you it was easy ;-) Best regards Craig

Llansantffraid Glyn Dyfrdwy .... I like it Larry, it’s a lot of Slaters letters though in the name boards ;-) Best regards Craig

Looks great Rod, the atmosphere is really building now. Craig

Hi Andy, was this the same Welsh meet up where you took off your coat in Martin’s Mancave and the floor was suddenly covered in biscuits crumbs as you crumbled like pack of broken Digestives ..... again !!! Ha ha Best regards Craig

Eh up here he is again ...... Confused of Swad!!! Patience Mr P .... have you got that £1 final value fee offer off eBay this weekend ? If so get that 4mm fiddly stuff listed Craig

Aren't the 1st lot of Dapol release's representing the coaches as built ? ie with the as built early windows ? so the later syle windowed coaches will be in the next batch released by Dapol in .... who knows when. Best regards Craig.

Hello Larry, we had a little meet up at Carrog today, a shame you couldn’t make it, it was lovely and sunny when we arrived at 11.40’ish, but wind and rain by our 6pm’ish departure ..... Andy P said it always rain in North Wales, but he is wrong, it held off for 8 hrs !! Best regards Craig

Looking good Jinty Boy ... can’t wait to see it in the flesh this week, you forgot to mention the Rodding, it really does set the scene in the low level picture towards the signal box. Dda iawn Craig

PS Phil, the above is after the use of using the loco style red tail lamp fell out of regular use, when the loco / coach style tail lamp was still being used the marker lights where just the yellowish warm glow at whichever end was leading. Best regards Craig

Hello Phil, are you talking about the 2 round marker lights on the cab fronts ? If so a warm glow yellow going forward, with red on the rear if the unit is in single car formation, vice versa in the opposite direction, and red tail lights off if the car is at the head of a multiple formation. Hope that helps Craig

Rod, in short, do they fu...fudging ‘eck as like !!! Thanks Craig

That fantastic signal box will hide the dodgy workmanship on the furniture, the box & rodding are looking great Jints. Craig

Ok so Dafydd Ap Iowerth “mutton chops” Parry has somewhere to park his arse and read the Western Mail in between those kettles coming through Talyllyn .... Severn models etched desk & seat kit bodged together with the RSU. Happy modelling Craig

Hello Ray, just looking at those underframe parts, here are two decent shots lifted off the internet giving a good view if the underframes. Best regards Craig.

It’s getting a bit like Dragons Den .......

Okay no more chit chat of bogcart or Larry will have us chucked off this kettle only thread. Craig

Tis’ a BRCW unit, later known as a 104 in TOPS, I used to love riding them, mainly catching them from Bolton Trinity Street to exotic coastal places such as Southport or Blackpool North ..... and the white striped version went over 90mph ... well that’s my Grandad told me, and he would never ever fib to me on a day out on the trains. Craig

Good afternoon, just thought i’d reassurect this thread, I have just had my Heljan 25/1 finished by my good Friend Jintyman, here is picture below of the work stained mundane Rat, it is 5202 in its 1972 guise from a picture of it when it was stabled at Taunton during its working life. David has made a stunning job of the sound fitment and weathering, below is the link to Jinty’s WB and on that page is the YouTube video, but for now below here it is on David’s plank, I hope it helps the nay sayers to see what can be done with this model. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/115561-jintys-wb-for-7mm/page-32&do=findComment&comment=3137348
