NWR-Gordon-4 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 @Margate-Richmond Nice t-shirt. Not sure why I don't have one of these. I should do really. I suspect it it will come in handy, for when you build your next layout. Saying that, it might not be, as the track diagram is on the rear of the t-shirt and I know nobody who can turn their head in all directions, without moving their body! 😆 😉 😀 Perhaps you could wear the t-shirt back-to-front. This would be more helpful! You could even wear the t-shirt upside down, if you wanted to! 😆 😉 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek 19B Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Set of clack valves from Markits and Smoke deflectors , loco steps and tender steps from RT models to improve my very cheap Merchant Navy Clan Line.Had notification from Hattons that Dave aka Lord Rodney is on its way. Just need to star building the layout after the house move, think aim now released from DiY duties for now.Derek 19bnext decision is which Terrier . First, can see more than one being required.

Stubaggieboy Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I dont normally post what I’ve purchased but felt the need to share this. Today I purchased a Hornby class 87 and Bachman’s Class 47 running in the 87 I felt that something wasn’t right. Upon inspection power was only being picked up on two of the four axles and only three out of the four axles were being driven. The wipers on the offending axles were not in contact with the wheels and amazingly the driven axle had been fitted the wrong way round. The panto does not extend high enough to contact my OHLE and a set of steps fell off. Yes easily repairable but at £170.00 I shouldn’t have to start dismantling a new loco, and before somebody says I should have sent it back it was the last one my local shop had. Let’s hope SK vastly improves quality control. Oh I forgot to to say the Bachman’s 47 is beautifully faultless. Lesson learnt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitter Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 as per my post in dcc section I bought a Heljan dcc turntable. installed , programmed, quite easy. That surprised me, after reading posts from op's on different forums . It is quite a nice thing to watch, smooth, and very accurate. but it is very suspectible to ballast , however small, so I am going to have to be super extra careful with my scenic work and housework.

walkingthedog Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I have that loco BB, DCC unfitted. Have you noticed the late crest on the right hand side is facing right instead of left. I think the real version was the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooped Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Latest to the collection was the blue streamlined Coronation Queen Elizabeth and the B team's H1 La France. My Queen Liz was suffering the missing handrails saga, but easily got replacements from the store, other than that very happy with it. La France is a beauty, I'm very much enjoying the offerings that are coming out these days from pre-grouping. I'd be looking at Hornby's Stepney but the Dapol/RoS/NRM Terrier is looking mighty nice.

atom3624 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I appear to have just 'won' a Unicorn!!!Hopefully it will arrive this week - I will post photos, then ride off .... Having nearly given up, I finally found a Peglar 4472. Knowing how rare and quickly these disappear when 'reasonably priced', I have jumped at it.I questioned a couple of other locomotives over the weekend and was gazumped waiting for the reply, so I've jumped on this one - hopefully not too prematurely!!

atom3624 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I sold my 'semi-Railroad' single chimney LNER Flying Scotsman - curiously with glazing - a few weeks ago, and am parting with my LNER double chimney / blinkered one, to replace with the 'correct current' FS - R3443 - never has there been a more debatable locomotive, I know .... Here she is. NOT perfect.Front side lamp brackets are bent - but I'll probably remove to place lamps anyway.One thing only!! Glazing is missing on the driver's (LHS) side. I'll try and knock something up, but literally that appears to be the only real negative - even the little side glazing strips are fine!! Of course, true to Al's NEW protocol, before 'fiddling', I'll test her out to see if she works OK .... reckon I'm keeping this one anyway./media/tinymce_upload/738d8d968097b35016663869a84d7fd0.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/7d1a9b8d82d7db0f0b8aa3f39c7a42ad.jpgSeller had had 3 for sale, all with 'some transit damage' by the looks of it, for a considerably less than perfect price, so I reckon I've done pretty well here!!Still need to test her first, but never had a problem with this chassis in the past. .... !!Al.
