Rana Temporia Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I have not been able to log on for a week or so but other people have so must be my wi-fi! I could view but not post.I visited the swap meet in Bolton on Sunday and managed to get a badly painted but perfectly working Tri-ang Hymek for not very much money, all I wanted was the top of the motor bogie to repair an EM2, done now so I have 70% of a Hymek to get rid of. Much cheaper than buying the parts separately!Also got two Grafar coaches cheap, I just wanted the bogies to repair some I already had so again two bodies now to get rid of. I just received my latest shipment of parts from Hornby, well packaged and everything I ordered. Full marks again! They will keep me busy for a while so I don’t think I’ll be buying anything in the near future..........famous last words! 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yes, that is Bachmann coach, Brian. You can tell by that image. That is a Bachmann model. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Perhaps becuase he does not want to mention the name, due to it being from another manufacturer, as to which manufacturer this forum belongs to? GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrenmb Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I know it's no big deal to most, but here in the states I played merry hell getting one so late in the game!!!! Scored it from.

LCDR Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I think I shall treat this thread as "WHAT HAVE I MANAGED TO SNEAK PAST SWMBO WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT". So, yesterday "Sir Francis Drake" (R3634) entered stock undetected ! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 SWMBO might possibly be aware - just waiting to mention it at what is the best tine (for her) 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 @LC&DR Your renaming of this topic is very funny! If she asks you where it came from, tell her it fell from the sky! 😆 😉 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Lots of small items arrived yesterday undetected by the powers that be. I managed to pick up some old System Six points, five usuable and three for spares, a 1970's Hornby building kit village shop, some uncoupling ramps and a few buffer stops.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 M-R, let me guess. The powers are SWMBO? Another case of "what have I managed to sneak past SWMBO, without being caught"?! 😆 😉 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I've been offloading a few less-used locomotives to fund some new purchases.I've just got hold of Hornby EWS Class 60 and 67 - can't wait to receive - will post photos once received.

Fazy Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Just got a Hornby Railroad 9f black £70 eBay which will go nicely with my Crosti's and can be detailed to the same level. And a Hornby GWR Castle wich will be switched to BR. And renamed once I've decided to which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I've been 'very good' lately, and have been eliminating - selling on - many of my multiple purchases.I've 'gone modern' with a couple just made - one has just arrived - Super Detail Class 67 # 67 025 Western Star.Can't make my mind up whether it's Ugly, Interesting or Fantastic!!One thing it is is HEAVY - haven't weighed it yet but I'd guess about 500 g. /media/tinymce_upload/8676bc7b84e862a14d16f6fc73e10b81.jpg Al.

atom3624 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 My guess was way out - just weighed it - 625 g. This thing should PULL!! Looking forwards to trying it out with the '60' when it arrives - probably tomorrow. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 As anticipated, 'the Beast' 60 048 has arrived!!Doesn't feel any heavier than the 67, perhaps lighter even .... not much in it ...Photos:/media/tinymce_upload/3b23f6d4874fe497c0dcf732f5a75597.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/92189a108126d55f341b762b8c1aea66.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/57179815b059ad8698b9019614a5258f.jpg Al.

atom3624 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Just weighed them both side by side.Class 67: 624gClass 60: 643gElectronic kitchen scales - not verified but will be close.That's pretty heavy for both of them - should really 'haul' well!!Looking forwards to the moment when I can test them out, 'though I'll go gently to start with, as they recommend.

rpjallan Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Some pics of what's not shown in my upper post.../media/tinymce_upload/9748be6415a901111efa2898e400faf4.jpgYour "Rocket" looks to be in great condition. I hope Hornby eventually do a new tooled version of this, especially now that they have become very proficient at producing small locos.I treated myself to R3614 LMS Rebuilt Patriot 5521 "Rhyl" for Christmas. I have been waiting for them to release an LMS liveried version of the rebuilt patriot since they brought it out years ago!Also, a rake of Collet Bow Ended Coaches in Crimson and Cream to go with my WR Early BR King, Castle and Star (R4684A, R4685A, R4686A, R4687A, R4688A). I now have at least one rake of coaches in the correct livery for all my locos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrenmb Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Scored from ebay.co.uk as very little hornby shows up on the U.S. version... bottom one is a kp nuts one but flash glare hides it.

atom3624 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The Hornby EWS Class 60 and 67 have REALLY impressed me - fantastic 'Super Detail'. Got to admit, this latest addition PROBABLY has them beaten, or at least equalled on detail ....
