Rana Temporia Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I know this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but just got this, I already had the goods set. I really like the artwork on these sets, just as I like the artwork on the Tri-ang/Hornby picture boxes. Quite why they chose Euston as the name for this set I don’t know, i thought the D6100s operated on the Eastern region in London before they were banished to Scotland. I could be wrong, Anyway I didn’t pay very muchfor it. I think the loco is original and in very good condition. However, the loco and coaches are a mish-mash as they have different couplings. I am sure this set with this artwork should have everything with the PECO type couplings. The Lanal type were earlier and the box sets were different. Again, I may be wrong on that but have never seen them in this set range before. The coaches look new, not bad since they are 50+ years old. I have the track parts to make the set complete and hopefully can repair the box. One thing I can’t get across with the pictures is the smell. The Playcraft locos have a very distinct smell about them which must be the lubricants used. It is not unpleasant at all. /media/tinymce_upload/5af1b2a561ef233ad3dfa4f22e9e90d1.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/f05dfbc29f0b34e70df2d7049648dec4.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/79d1892a8326a3a50d734ebcdd3fc408.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulver Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 R3635 ‘Lord Rodney’ with TTS sound fitted. I reckon this must be a ‘Rails’ after-fit special, very good value and a lovely runner so far. The sound is very good, too.Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 That Playcraft set is quite a 'blast from the past' for me.My elder brother had the goods set I think, plus a few other 'goodies' I cannot remember too clearly ... I do remember the huge flywheel effect. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Well I have just received two 59' Bulleid brake seconds, and the latest H 31265 . Excellent models. I am still waiting for the composite coach. The H class packaging has the same issue as the Club exclusive version, impossible to open. See Club forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Like LC&DR, two 59' Bulleid brake seconds arrived the other day, with a third due on Monday. Eventually I should have both BR coach sets 968 and 972. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Hornby, it could not have been an easy livery to do but you have done a great job of it and Ive been able to put a DCC chip in her and she looks and runs flawlessly Loving all of the little details with the paint - looks a nice little locomotive. Always curious why they even bothered with 4 wheels on a bogie that small - must have been the weight limit / loading gauge. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Photos to follow, but long story short, I've now just received a Dapol TPE Class 68. They're like hen's teeth at the moment, as Accurascale will be introducing TPE Mk.5 coaches, so every man and his dog purchased the TPE 68!! I had to go for the DCC one, and had been trying to confirm which blanking plate to use ... wanting to avoid anything unnecessarily extortionate - whilst I admit the amount of electronics requires the correct item. Perusing the internet I managed to find a 21-pin plate which appears identical to that used by Dapol.Locomotive 'won' on Saturday, actually arrived today - Rails - and actually contains a blanking plate anyway, which is identical to the one I'd ordered anyway - one to another locomotive ... excellent!!

atom3624 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 68 019 Brutus - photo. Fantastic-looking locomotive and livery - very striking!! Yes, I have ordered the Accurascale coaches to go with it ... due early next year. /media/tinymce_upload/474abf090fbedc41529d7990e81a0ec1.jpg Al.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hi Gordon, Have you got the Ltd. Ed. muddy Thomas.Could I ask where you found it? Well done Gordon. Thank you and sorry for the late reply. 😀 I have the limited edition muddy version, had it many years. I have the limited edition of 500 pristine Thomas models, with the puffed out / tired face, as the Thomas in the R9260 Thomas & The Great Discovery Train Set has. I believe you have three of them? I bought it off eBay a few months back, at great cost. It was the only Thomas I needed to complete my Hornby Thomas loco collection, so I may as well had bought it as found it. It’s boxed with very little damage to the box and the locomotice is undamaged too. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'm just hoping Hornby will produce the 800 as the TPE 802/2 ...This will run with the 68 + the Mk.5 coaches when they arrive. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
