david_abramczyk Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I ordered some second hands from Hattons last night; a J52 and a B12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VESPA Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I have just ordered direct from Hornby, the camping coach.It seems most are sold out in many places and no furthur stock will be available. Always wanted one and at one time I considered converting a Thomas coach because of it's colours. I know that a retailer has a special set made by B company but these were a lot more expensive than the Hornby one which is very nice for the money. I have also ordered DOG in 60's mode with the different tender. Two Brits and a Crosti are also pending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VESPA Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The coach arrived this morning and very nice it is too!. I also bought from Liverpool 2 Dapol windmill kits, two cottages kits and an Aifix bus kit (the large one) I am going to try out some new very fine brushes that I hope I can detail cabs in locos from a few years ago and some of the Railroad items. They are very fine indeed and I think just the job for intricate detailing. The windmills and the cottages are for a plan I have to vaguely reproduce something that is on BBC's "Escape to the Country" at the very beginning. There is a cottage that I hope can be made by using two kits together with one only being the top half to make a single storey side extension. The windmills will be near each other, one black and one white as in the short piece of film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Not sure if its an aquisition or not as I already had it, just recycling. I pulled apart an old Samsung mobile phone and rescued the speaker (about 10x15x5mm) and the tiny motor that makes it vibrate (about 5mm diam x less than 10mm long including the 'wobbler'. The speaker is going into my Collectors club Pullman diesel cab with room to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alycidon Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Christmas came early today with the arrival of my Class 67 in Royal Claret livery. Past its fitness test and now resides with the wife awaiting official allocation to Duddon Lane on 25/12/14. However I was also slightly naughty today and ordered a Heljan DPU in Royal Mail livery from those nice people in Liverpool. At £69 plus P&P I just could not resist! Oh well that's at least a new pair of boots the wife as my punishment!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony57 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hi all My latest purchase is another Wrenn 4 6 2 Coronation (Duchess/City) Class "City of Birmingham" in BR Green. Was brought as a poor runner but with a change of magnet and a clean and oil now goes a lot better Just two more to get, City of Glasgow in Blue and City of Liverpool in Maroon. There are 4 more I would like but are so rare I need a lottery win to afford them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 There's something very special about Wrenn locos isn't there Tony. I used to have a couple of Castles, they'd pull just about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yes, those Wrenn locos were wonderful, weren't they? That lovely weight in your hand, solid, sturdy and reliable. I don't collect model railway items and was very sad to get rid of the few I had, but I run the latest technology locos and the Wrenns just got so that they didn't fit in any more. All metal wheels on them and Wrenn rolling stock made for a really smooth ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_abramczyk Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This morning I got that B12 and J52 I ordered last week from Hattons. It had an unexpected surprise; the B12 had one of those tenders that makes a 'chuffing' sound as the wheels turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Latest purchase was a mint factory fresh BR Blue and Grey Mk1 in a box that looks brand new and unused, and a unboxed version of the same Mk1 off ebay. Cost me 99p plus postage. One is perfect the other has black paint spots on it and no box, all easily sorted. /media/tinymce_upload/4741.JPG /media/tinymce_upload/4761.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 The chuff sound generator dates from Tri-ang-Hornby days and is still fitted to the B12. Sadly the lovely syncrosmoke smoke units aren't fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony57 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi WTD and Graskie Yes wrenn engines are great locos for us on DC, reliable serviceable motors with good pulling power, nice to handle with no fear of breaking anything on them . I now got 17 locos in my collection with 50+ trucks, all with triang MK3 couplings so can be used with my triang triang - hornby and hornby rolling stock.

Huwsie Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 A few bags of plaster...! Dedicated an area of my company warehouse as a railway room and planning a 25ft + layout - something I always wanted was to run full length trains!. Busy now building the 'railway room' - today's job was plastering walls. Hate plastering, but can't wait to get modelling again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Good luck in your efforts, Huwsie. Let's hope you get there in the end and possibly even put a few pics up for us to see. I used to get plastered quite a bit when I was younger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB, I thought it was only me that was obsessive about a class of loco (Britannia's) I am getting the 1960 version DOG in the next day or so as it is in the post at present.
