rayarpino Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Stirling single:Thanks LCDR, here are the pictures. I hope the modeller who built it sees this and provides us with commentary about his work. I will be changing the driving wheels with Gibson's since the model strangely retains the Kitmaster plastic parts./media/tinymce_upload/7d192a0fcc49c940e66f883a2bb2cf3c.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/3064489490f23d566a4b33a2d8c77fd7.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/13a207612db3851e3f4b994e964a6c7a.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/c60b6c27c96ca9f9f2a60a2822622b2c.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazy Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Maybe he kept the plastic wheels because off getting the correct size/number of spokes for the drivers. Also no chance of shorts with the sanding pipes. If they come in contact with the wheels. Quick Look it seems the wheels are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Ray,He has added a huge amount of fine detail, some fine work here!That does look really nice, thank you. I am almost tempted to put a tender drive in my Kitmastrer Stirling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ_model_trains Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 LFX1S Level crossing with sound and speaker http://www.dcpexpress.com/lfx1-level-crossing-light-controller-p-411.html The price was £20, I purchased the additional lights 'LED1 Submin LED pack for Level Crossing Barriers' at £5 so that I could include lights on both sides of the crossing. (Both are wired to the same decoder) When activated the sound begins, this can be continuous or run for 7 seconds, I have set it to sound for 7 seconds. The amber lights at either side come on, then the two red lights each side flash alternatively until cancelled. I must admit I find it very impressive. At a later date I will probably look to get the barrier to work but I have a lot more work on the layout first. The sound and lights for the crossing are controlled through RailMaster and was very easy to set up.I have included 3 images (on 2 pages) but they do not show the light on as it is impossible to catch these with a still picture. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/album/3882-bottom-le-dale-railway-building-from-scratch/ Programming into RM was easy, the lights and sound can be actived manually or in a route program.

EdMarra Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm currently going through a box of items I've gotten from someone via a US O Gauge forum, the items consisting of all Triang/Hornby or Hornby. One of those items is a still in box (may never have been run) Midlander set from 1968 (still has track power connector and locomotive crew figures sealed in plastic bags).Other items include some blood and custard BR coaches still in Triang boxes and had never been put to track (that will soon change for a few of them; one or two I'll keep in boxes since they look so gorgeous!)I'll post pics as I get them sorted out!

81F Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Just orfered a blue box City GWR 3700 Class 'Killarney' in plain Great Western Green. I really wanted a Bulldog for my 1920s stopping trains but when I found this had been based at Shrewsbury, just a few stops up the line from where I am modelling I just had to get it. Should look just the part with a mixed bag of long clerestories and Collett 57' my need to change transfers on the coaches though to GWR aove coat of arms.

Also are they only on one side. My second hand version of 9449 had them missing and I need to fabricate some new ones. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Arrived today, delvered by a really nice lady courier, a SE&CR 'Terrier' from Hornby. Nice little model, only critisism is that it is an A1X and the real thing was an A1 whuich has a different style of smokebox, shorter with wingplates, . However you don't notice if you don't look too hard! Good to have something more in SE&CR livery - more please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Thought I'd do it in 1/16 of an inch. I imagine you're imperial as opposed to metric. The end of the bars are curved. You'll see when the picture arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
