Into The Valley - The Skids

My thoughts and best wishes to you both

Born To Be Alive - Patrick Hernandez

 Should now be available at your local WH Smiths. I obtained a copy this afternoon, they had around 6 copies available.

 

This is a superb publication and great value for money.

 

 Nice to see Blyth Cambois included.  Mostly BR Blue pics bringing back great memories of shed visits in the early  08s.

Got mine today, thanks Mal

Yes great to see Blyth Cambois, I spent many hours there when I was young.

Hi

 

while looking on eBay, I saw this,  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/On-Shed-magazine-2018-Railways-of-Britain-North-Eastern-Region-Diesel-Depots/352505367334?epid=19022299661&hash=item5212f50b26:g:yj0AAOSwd7Fb3Dbj:rk:9:pf:0 at a rather exorbitant £11:49  

 

It's available P&P free on Kelsey's own site for the RRP of £7:99

I can't believe someone actually paid that much!

I think the Scottish issue will be a cracker!

Drop The Pilot - Joan Armatrading

Hi Michael, I couldn't see many bits that I wanted marked as 1/72 or 1/76 or 4mm scale however I'm guessing that I could just go by the measurements, ie a lifebelt measuring 10mm would equate to just over 2ft in 4mm and a boat measuring 40mm would be a 10ft boat.

I was wondering if I can just use stuff working it out from the size?

Hope that makes sense?

Steve.

Hi Steve, funny that you should mention life belts, I got a multipack from them and it was 10mm belts I got and they look about right so I would say if you have something you can use as a starting point then working out what sizes you need shouldn't be to difficult.

Another one to look forward to

Hi Steve,

I'm sorry I dont know of another number, I emailed them with a query and got a reply a day or two later so not too bad.

Love Me Love My Dog - Peter Shelley

Wild Side Of Life  - Status Quo

I would replace the switch and add a CDU which would benefit all of your points and switches

A bit of an update over on ebay tonight. Lot's of odds and ends to be honest, except for new in this week: D9001 St Paddy (£127.00), and some rather fetching Maroon MK1 coaches (£33.50).

It really feels like we are approaching the summit of our journey to raise the money necessary to bring D6703 back to life.

We gave ourselves a bit of a moral boost yesterday, by rolling back the clock half way on our journey back to 1960.

It is always nice to share this journey with the many people that help make our dream a reality.
