96RAF Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 A couple of boxes of semi-flex track and several each LH and RH Express points and a good few R628 Y curves for my parallel bits. Never done this flexi track laying before so that’s a learning curve coming up. Waiting arrival of a 2 ft long laser cut twin track bow-string bridge from inthegreenlaser.com - nice range and the prices are well below similar makes comparing model for model.

ellocoloco Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 A circle of Hornby R4 curves............now I can finally test run my 20yr old Roco 310.23.......and it will make it much easier on my Electrotren DMUs and EMU. Must really build a layout one day, but until then set track on laminate flooring is the only option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Found a brand new Bachmann Class 85 for £85 free P&P so it (finally) had to be done.Very nice model - curious method of pickups vertical posts scraping brass / bronze 'fingers' riveted to the circuit board on top of the inner body. Runs reasonably very well, but no 'superstar'. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffed Out Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Just bought a Tri-ang R.A.M.C. Ambulance Coach. pre-owned, from a local chap, no postage......just a spit of fuel to go and get it.It needed 3 red crosses, so I made 4, and removed the one that was there.(Almost fallen off).Looks good, and ready to roll. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another X13 Hornby Railways plastic rolling stock wheels; Listing appears to be including X2 spoked wheels and X11 3 hole wheels. It does not matter how many of which wheel type are included, as again they are for my scrap load collection. You can never have enough scrap! 😆 😉 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuffed to bits Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Picked up The centenary Rocket today in the Hornby shop at Swindon's Designer outlet centre. Mine is No: 0099 of 1500. They only had 10 allocated to the store. There are plenty on eBay at silly prices and plenty of bids on them. Saddest thing is that at least one of them is an actual high street Hornby stockist in Bedfordshire. Surely Hornby shouldn't allow this - they have it up for a buy-it-now of £349.95!

atom3624 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just received a used Bachmann Standard Class 5 - 73082 Camelot. Previous owner not as careful as I'd have liked with the nameplates, but I can live with that - VERY nice looking locomotive for a very good price. /media/tinymce_upload/752a9cc73a1223c31e952322058134b6.jpg Al.

atom3624 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just found a Unicorn of sorts. I've made a few purchases in the last month, but will be good from now on ... honest!! Hornby R3050 found and purchased way below the going rate.One of the big diesels from Hornby's super high quality period of the noughties - RAF posted a photo of his last week (so it's your fault!!). Will post photos when it arrives. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will post photos when it arrives. Al.It appears that this 'Unicorn' flew away ... shop 'could't find it'.I must admit a price of very little more than a ton for a brand new R3050 was really (trust me!!) relatively cheap, so perhaps .... No, they wouldn't do that.Whatever happened, they couldn't find it, so no sale ... So I've found a Class 87 instead - definitely located, purchased and should be with me midweek next week - looking forwards to it.Used to love seeing the 87's departing 'South' when I was going from Liverpool to Manchester on one of the other trains - the 47-hauled trans-Pennine, typically. They both left simultaneously - electric most impressive basically for so little fuss, with such a relatively small locomotive on such a long train, and departing so quickly - it did have 5,000 hp!! Photos will be posted once it arrives.(We all know what they look like anyway, and have access to Google I know ....) Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Had 73082 32-502 Camelot 'bargain' (<£50 delivered and 'perfect') running today, Sunday.Only have 13x free-running (lubed as well) TEA 100 ton tankers on the 4th radius circular test-track so didn't expect it to perform ... but it did without too much difficulty - pulled them for perhaps 30 minutes at 2/3 throttle. Photos here.The 5MT looks great - black or green. I think I prefer the black, not just because that's the one I have.

atom3624 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 It's a very nice runner as well ... Just managed to drill out the chimney / blastpipe without any obvious damage - hate it when it's so obviously just stuck on top of the boiler. Al.
