The son of Triangman Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 It was a great bargain WTD, I'm always looking for these bargains, they pop up now and then. Bought six unboxed locos from an auction last week, four of them can be made mint with very little tlc. 6 locos for £11 each inc VAT and auctioneer fees, a snip, I got two Tri-ang princess's one of which is definately restorable, a Lima Deltic in Two Tone Green just needs new traction tyres, A lima 08 in Blue just needs a new capacitor, a good Tri-ang class 31, and a good Tri-ang jinty just needing transfers to make mint after cleaning and a full service, also got a Tri-ang caboose and diecast signal by Cresc.nt. The Hornby 08 is going on the stall Sunday for less than £30 so someone will get a really nice mint loco for xmas if they buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The son of Triangman Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I shall put the loco on the stall for £27 Graskie and if someone wants to haggle I can knock a couple quid off. It will sell easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Gives me something to do. Wonder what Santa's going to bring.

LCDR Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I popped into Monk Bar Models this morning. They have the red Sentinel on display but I want a green one so I purchased a SR Van B in BR crimson instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Please let us know what spec DoG and what you think of its looks and performance, BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I posted this on the "OOOoops" posting. Well my DoG arrived today (Special Edition), and it looks fine - all the wheels are there (someone only had four on the tender), the handrails are straight - as said before I'm no expert but it looks ok. I have not put it next to William Shakespeare, but seeing the price difference was about sixty pounds, I would expect WS to look a little sharper maybe. This special edition DoG is really in the same category as the special edition Tornado - they are not Super Detail models, and the price reflects this. I do not have a layout so cannot give a comment on performance. I'll now await the gripes because people cannot get hold of the model because they've sold out.

Postman Prat Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Believe it or not, with my railway preferences, I hadn't got round to getting a B1. The was one in the clearance sale so I got it. I would have preferred the late crest but as it's only going into a case I can live with the early one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 So you bought it just in case, PP? I want a B1 late BR crest with sound eventually. They used to run from here to Peterborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the ferret Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The two wagons are now finished (GWR Mink A and container flat truck). The Mink carries GWR decals but I painted the container a dark blue. Having managed to locate "Mabex" transfers I have now applied "Pickfords" decals and it looks really good!

Postman Prat Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi RAF96 Don't lose any sleep over it (I know you won't!!!) I left it quite late to order and it was in the sale, so I'm not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Spoiled myself at York Toyfair today. New R3088 LNER O1 2-8-0 loco (may renumber and re-brand as BR era, but not imperative.) R4350, R4351, R4352, Maroon Mark 1 carriages Second hand R103 Regional Railways Pacer All definitely impulse buys. Also got a load of second hand Bayko, and a tub of Lone Star OOO track.

walkingthedog Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 L&YR 2-4-2T arrived yesterday. Nice little loco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The new 'Railroad Mark 1s are rather good. They run extremely smoothly on the plastic wheels, no doubt because the axles are metal, a trick used by the old Airfix carriages with some success. The paint finish is excellent and the moulding is crisp and clear. The windows are nicely flush, all in all an excellent product, especially if you consider the very reasonable price (I paid £14-96 each). I now keenly await the Crimson and Cream and Green ones.

Railfan70 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just got a Hornby Triang BR Blue Hymek diesel, a very sweet runner with a motor that looks like a brick , only cost $20 or 10 quid UK and is in close to mint condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 After further study I find that the underframes are each different for the different bodies, so that the footboards are correctly positioned under the doors. Nice touch Hornby. LC&DR said: The new 'Railroad Mark 1s are rather good.
