Jimbo1707820979 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Just can't resist lying in bed and operating the round-the-walls DC track ! These two little blighters also give me some options for the lighting. Never felt lazy before. 😇 /media/tinymce_upload/79aec06199094fef9bbf2564e6c03c25.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 My two sets of Kernows Gate Stock Carriages arrived today, but I've been busy today, and as yet have not had time to open the parcel - a treat for tomorrow. Hopefully you will not be disappointed; they are superb! Will be interested in your comments! 😀 I think they look very good, in fact superb. I have no concerns whatsoever (as do certain Forums!) whether there is rivet missing underneath - I am not an expert, as are some (supposedly) - this is a hobby, and if I like it, that's good enough for me.

Those remote control sockets are great. Have you got any more pictures of the layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo1707820979 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 If you are lying in bed what about this? 😆Thankyou. I can't help thinking there is some video trickery somewhere ! 😆 Though the bareness of the layout seems to contradict this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo1707820979 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 @ olly85 Thanks Olly. I will try to drum something up.. Maybe post under a new heading. A pity we cannot post videos other than links to YouTube etc. I am somewhat ashamed to admit I have not yet mastered posting a LIVE link. Have notes how to do it though. Not rocket science I am sure. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 The new model late emblem H class arrived from Hornby this afternoon. Immediately on to the test track and running smoothly straight out of the box. Wonderful! Looks great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 The new model late emblem H class arrived from Hornby this afternoon. Immediately on to the test track and running smoothly straight out of the box. Wonderful! Looks great too.The stupidest of questions, but how did you get it out of the box? Mine arrived today, but assuming the packaging is as usual, box containing loco in a sleeve - I cannot get the box out of the sleeve. I haven't risked brute strength as I don't want to tear the box.

LCDR Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 It was tight, I agree, but gentle but firm pressure with two thumbs was successful, eventually. The packaging is the usual cardboard box in cardboard sleeve (very stiff, close fit) then clear plastic fold out cradle in a clear plastic sleeve (also very tight fit, both the plastic sleeves in the cardboard box, and the cradle in the plastic sleeve) but the effort was worthwhile.

Bulleidboy Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Received an email from Hornby yesterday to say that the new Merchant Navy Class "British India Line" had arrived and would be despatched shortly. It should have said that M/N Class Nederland Line had arrived - R3566. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 It should have said that M/N Class Nederland Line had arrived - R3566. Oh dear! More expense...... 😆 I agree - the ships appear to have found a shortcut which enables them to arrive in the UK earlier than expected! In fairness the Hornby shop has said for sometime that if ordered early in December you would get the model by Christmas. I'm just hoping the H Class with Pull/Push Carriages Pack is not on the same ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
