So the Mk2a should be 0.16mm lower than the Mk1 but in Farish' case it is over a mm different and quite noticeable. When you look at a photo of a real Mk1 and Mk2a coupled together the height difference is not noticeable. Cheers Mark

Glasgow To Colchester Overnight Service
scruff replied to luckymucklebackit's topic in UK Prototype Questions
That Glasgow QSt- Colchester train wouldn't have carried BFPO mail. All BFPO mail went via London stations, collected by Postal and Courier services Royal Engineers and taken to BFPO London in Mill Hill. This was known to the post office as Home postal Depot. Cheers Mark -
It looks like the delayed class 86 loco's from Dapol are about to hit the shops. Cheers Mark
-
you have done some excellent work there Mark.. looking forward to more updates, with photo's of course! Cheers Mark

Excellent work on the 87's Duncan, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours too! Cheers Mark

Farish 2019 Announcements - ended up as speculation froth.
scruff replied to Crepello's topic in Graham Farish
It is no good them chucking everything out at once though because most people have a budget for their hobbies. This would mean they would have stock sitting unsold on shelves if they are not careful. Still, they must know what they are doing! Cheers Mark -
I know what you mean.. they are a royal pain in the butt! I had to swap my wheelsets around but I now have a Mk2a bso that is unusable.. never had the problem with a Mk1 though.. Cheers Mark
-
The only thing I can see that is wrong with these is the receiver socket for the multiple working jumpers.. Other than that they look superb! Cheers Mark
-
Is it the RCH? jumper cables you mean Jez? as fitted to class 86/3/4 and /6? Cheers Mark

Good luck with the new job Jim! Cheers Mark -
The post above is probably your best route to a current day 50 Ben Cheers Mark

The only 47/7's that carried large logo were 47711 and 47712.. Hope that helps! Cheers Mark

Australian catenary Matthew?? Cheers Mark

Mine was doing the same.. cleaned the track and its fine now.. Cheers Mark

Another vote for 47475 and Trans-Pennine stock here.. I think I might have mentioned it to Mike at C&M in the dim and distant too.. Cheers Mark
-
Just been to see if the Bachmann website is available.. It seems we have now got to wait until "later in the year" and there is no mention of the railway side except the collectors club... Disappointedly yours Mark
-
Good luck at Stafford.. Don't forget to take some photo's while you are there Simon.. Cheers Mark
-
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but does anyone know where I can obtain some RCH? jumper cables for the class 86/4 Dapol have produced. I know they have the TDM cables but the seem a bit nude without the rest of the plumbing! Cheers Mark
-
I believe Dave Jones commented on this years ago while he was still at Dapol.. He said measure the pockets and see who got the size correct. if I remember rightly! Cheers Mark
-
I think that Hattons estimated their prices back in 2013 when a Mk1 coach was around £16 to purchase from them.. 5 years later costs have risen astronomically so the estimate that was way out of date had to be radically altered when the RRP was announced.. I'm so glad I'm not a retailer! Cheers Mark
-
Hows about a price reduction? Cheers Mark
-
The 86 will be in Executive, not swallow livery Jez. Cheers Mark

Hi David, Excellent work so far, I'll be following your thread from now on.. You are modelling the period directly following what I model (82-92) so I'm probably going to be cribbing some of your ideas! Cheers Mark
