david_watts1 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Anne Hathaway's cottage in 1/125 by Little Dart from an ebay seller, it weighs about a kilo, so must be solid polystone or similar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote this morning about 8.00 regarding my shipping costs and got a reply about 9.30 saying all sorted with full refund, cannot complain about the service there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterM67 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) I did speak to customer services and the person I spoken to asked me to do it via email when she heard there where 15 coaches. Apparently they need to be refunded individually so that's 15 individual credits to my card - she may have a busy afternoon! The coaches will remain boxed until tomorrow evening at the earliest so I can remain blissfully ignorant of any coupling issues 😁 Edited April 19 by PeterM67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Tall Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I am really missing this part !, several nice model railway related deliveries over the last few days, but all 00, so I'll get a telling off if I put them here 🙁😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moawkwrd Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Some very old ‘TT’ signals. They’re probably a tad big for TT:120 but they’re lovely - all metal construction and could be easily motorised. They’re about 31ft in real life size so even if I sink them into the cork more, they’d still be at the upper limit of real life semaphore sizes. The home signal is around 6.5cm, so ~25ft which I might be able to get away with. The arms are bang on though, at 1.25-.5cm, so 5ft and a bit.

Silver Fox 17 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 They also come under the GEM name as they took over them. They also do junction signals albeit equal post heights. Even Triang TT signals can be used and they are diecast apart from the gantry version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 They look rather nice and not out of place at all. Good for sighting 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilmson Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 After I got my HST power heads last week and digitized them myself, my Duchess of Atholl finally arrived today. What fine details, what beautiful colors. It fits perfectly into my surroundings. However, this is still under construction. You yourself know how things are with houses in our gauge size. By the way, the HST now had prepared slots for the speakers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another set of images that a inspirational and prompting the question - where did they all come from. I even like to train display rack on the wall. please post an image of that for us to look at. The arcades and most of the big city houses (in the foreground) are from MKB models and Modellbahn Union. Only a few town houses in the background and the signal box are from Auhagen and Vollmer (N gauge). A tip: please do not mix the town houses from Auhagen/Vollmer with those from MKB and Modellbahn Union. The houses from MKB and Modellbahn Union (both TT) are for big cities like Berlin, while those from Auhagen (TT) are for small towns like Sebnitz (size like Leominster). Accordingly, they differ greatly in their dimensions. You will not find the station hall on top of the arcades at any dealer. I designed it myself and implemented it with the laser cutter. I plan to do the same for future big city houses. I will also replace the small town houses in the background piece by piece. The wall display case is nothing more than plexiglass tubes with a diameter of 60mm, hung on hooks for gutters. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Tall Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Thanks to Hornby's 20% off offer, the sound fitted Duchess arrived today, along with 4 coaches (two brake 3rd and two 3rd), Hornby had sold out of the first class coach, so that should be arriving from elsewhere soon. I have to say, the Duchess ran a treat straight from the box. The coaches do have a tiny bit of rub, but aren't being as problematic as I expected. I will look to fix the rub in due course, an adaptation on what @Silverfox17 has done (if I can make my plan work). The silver coach roofs need toning down, a bit of matt clearcoat may be in order ! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you're going with the era 7 HST also. I tend to order more coaches and wagons when I get a points build up. Its worth paying for postage when you get 2-3 for it.

Tim Allen Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 This week with the sale and points I've been building up future rolling stock: 2 x LMS & 4 x BR(Early) 57' 3rd Corridors 1 z LMS & 1 x BR (Early) 57' 3rd Brake DPD have another parcel which is probably Night Hawk being returned back after intermittent stalling.

So I have to buy elsewhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 @Dave the Busker that looks like a great collection of parts! Do remember about how to bend the wire on the latching reed switches so that you don’t crack the glass vaccum tube👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
