Bulver Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Another Pannier tank, this time a Graham Farish OO gauge model, in GWR green. Lovely runner, hopefully this one's motor stays intact! Having said that, the Hornby is now running well with the motor transplant. Thing is, the Hornby model is relatively easy to find spares for, not so sure about the GF, haven't checked the state of the brushes yet........Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choralc Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 R9289 No.2 Edward the blue engine and R9290 No.5 James the red engine. WD and LCDR as mentioned previously Hornby would not sell Thomas and Friends to Aus but Hattons did. They also had similar prices to Hornby's winter sale./media/tinymce_upload/63beb795bb47bc8128681826c956987e.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/56153b5a5fb74476ed3db64d69b5e416.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulver Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Belated 50th wedding gift from my lovely lady (only belated because the model I chose wasn't scheduled to appear on time!) was the Black Label A4, lovely looker, haven't had a chance to run it yet.

If this is the case it may be possible to use Wrenn or Doubleo spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81F Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I've just received an Airfix (blue box with compact tension lock couplings) John Arnold wagon. I chose this version as I want the compact tension lock couplings and tiny spring steel strips to link two of the later GMR and Mainline B sets together. I also wanted to do the same for a pair of Hornby B set but notice that the bogie has been re-tooled so it soesnt have the holder for the spring so will need to re-think that pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Had to go into Sainsburys this morning to get SWMBO some flour, she likes Sainsbury's basics flour. While in there I saw the 2017 Hornby catalogue - so I bought it. I like the detailed description of the new models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 A pile of motors for my next project.

The son of Triangman Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Today's purchase 407 S.1061 Loco body screws. They fit the Tri-ang, Tri-ang-Hornby and Hornby (1970's) class 101 dmu, and the double ended transcontinental diesel loco./media/tinymce_upload/908a402e981970475149adfcb87988e7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Latest addition to the £10 pullman. A late issue Jane has arrived, odd tiny bits of linning missing and a tiny part of one crest. Another 99p special! The wheelsets are going to be replaced with the finerscale white rimmed Tri-ang-Hornby wheels issued in 1971./media/tinymce_upload/0c70369ab1eecf02edb4b7bffdb83009.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo1707820979 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 That's what I call a bargain. I'm a great fan of these "shorty" Pullmans, esp. the ones with the closed axle boxes. So easy to change to finescale wheels. Also so easy to get the roof off fo internal improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Too true. A whole rake for less than £10. I also got three spares examples for free which are being sold this weekend for £10, so the whole rake will cost me nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the rare Swedish shunter the red diesel? How rare are they? I have one in the Triang set that has the hand held battery controller and freight cars similar to the one photo you have of it (one flat has 2 autos on it). The loco runs beautifully after a cleaning and service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 It is indeed the red shunter. The Swedish diesel from the unpopular play series introduced in 1969 is a very rare model. The last one I saw fetched around £100 on an online auction site!

VESPA Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Whilst this thread is the biggest ever, my latest purchase is the Bachmann TPO Royal Mail van to complement my others and a set of Royal Mail road vehicles. So overall 4 Hornby TPO's and 4 Bachmann TPO's of various eras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very much a nostalgia trip since one of these was my second loco of which I still have the motor so if this wont go I've got a spare! Another bonus is that it is complete , my original did not have a tender or smoke deflectors so ran with a bodged hornby Brit tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VESPA Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 If you like Joueff then you have just missed a massive sale at auction of thousands of Joueff,Marklin and Rivarossi items. Speculation was £250.000 over all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
