1898

For years now I have refilled my part empty cartridges. Simply drill a 3/32 hole and squirt in the ink until it over flows and then leave it to soak in, finely follow up with another squirt. I can usually get three or four refills before the cartridge "Dies".

I have used Choice Stationery Supplies printing ink for over six years now and saved a fortune.

Yeadon's Register vol 38 has all you need. I had a quick look earlier and it seems they moved around a lot, most locos being at Hull for about 2 years only and being transferred elsewhere, so you really need to specify a specific time period, but if you can't find a copy and get stuck, PM me with the dates you want and I'll trawl through mine and send you the info you need. 

Thanks to all for your help with G5 numbers around Hull (late 30s- early 40s). I found the loco numbers I was looking for in a great book, More Railways of Hull by W.B.Yeadon. Regards Laurie

Magnificent. I was only thinking earlier this week that a G5 is a model that is long overdue, and will be so perfect for all of us who model the NER/LNER/BR. Between Beverley and Hull, a most intensive service was operated by the LNER with mainly Sentinel steam rail cars. Once they had been withdrawn, it went over to Push Pull and G5’s. With carriages I already have, I’ll be able to replicate that service perfectly! And, of course, many other lines radiating out of Hull, including the former Hull and Barnsley line, had many local passenger services formed of ex NER/Gresley/Thompson non corridor carriages, hauled by a G5.

So I’m just so pleased. Such a big gap is filled, and I’ll be pre ordering at least three of them, maybe more. . And one can be made into the engine which had the extra long water tanks - I have a couple of pictures of it at both Hull and Beverley.

Thank you, TMC/Bachmann.

Hi Rob, Do you know the numbers of the G5s that ran between Hull and Beverley in the 1930s. Regards, Laurie.

The Sentinel railcar would be great for many modellers. It's ideal for all from small to large layouts.

Doe's anyone think we will see a LNER Sentinel railcar in 4mm again

 I have bouught 8 of Robbie's 00 scale coal wagons and think they are excellent value. All bought this year.
