Too Tall Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 A (I think) very impressive factory and a pair of bus stop shelters in plastic kit form.I have been looking for a couple of months for a factory building I felt looked as good as this to no avail, so I bit the bullet.I do need to convert it to RHD (or more precisely convert the rail platform in from left side to right side) for my planned usage).I don't think that will be anywhere near as straightforward as it sounds so a bit of kit bashing on a fairly pricey kit does make me a bit nervous, but needs must !

Rallymatt Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I hope the knobs don’t start flashing! 🤣 Well worth having a go with wiring the station and street lamps. It’s a lot easier than it might first appear and effect is great. Ps Happy Birthday for when it l was 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 A certain centenarian has arrived in my shunting yard… odd name for a racehorse! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D9020 Nimbus Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Flying Scotsman was named after the train; its two immediate predecessors were named Great Northern (after the railway) and Sir Frederick Banbury (the GNR chairman). The racehorse names came later, although some of them seem a lot weirder than Flying Scotsman.There was an article in Railway World Annual many years ago looking at the origin of the racehorse names. Some were very obscure. By contrast, the racehorses whose names were used for "Deltics" were all famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 On the subject of racehorse names, I’m not sure where I read this so, judge for yourself it’s accuracy; During 20’s and 30’ horse racing was much bigger as a spectator sport than it is now (it’s a gambling machine now) and the star horses themselves were probably more well known amongst the wider population. Sounds plausible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_watts1 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 @Rallymatt Probably true, every body has heard of Red Rvm, Shergar and Seabiscuit, but I couldn't tell you the names of the leaders of the current political parties in the UK, or who is next in line to the throne and I live here.And before anyone jumps on me for the incorrect spelling, the algorithm says 'no' to the correct spelling.

TTiimm Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 A big box of point motors and switches etc. A hidden(under the baseboard cost) for sure! Here is a picture of my arch laser cattle wagon that came in kit form a few days ago. Not as smooth running as the hornby brake van but it goes round the track fairly well. Waiting on decals to finish it off. Needs a bit of rust too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
