96RAF Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The lawnmowers have a dirty great wizzy bit underneath inside a cowling, that kind of gives it away.WTD’s tractor is a bit see through underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edvard4 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 9 New Class 66's from Hornby. The credit card took a hit, just as well as most have sold out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Not surprised if one person gets 9!!It does seem to be a big hit - for Hornby as well so congrats to all. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 DoH has returned from Hornby - now to test it out- once I get it home!!Nice to have it back again. Al.Well after a few more 'frustrations' it does work perfectly now - FINALLY!!It seems as if I must like Coronations - 5 streamlined and 3 rebuilt ... not complaining!! Al.

atom3624 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Just to 'close the arrival of 6229 DoH', here's a few photos - plus a gem of the 4472 R2687 FS. Obviously I've used too much black tak on the RHS lamp - better too much than too little - they're TINY!!(I'll try and amend over the weekend, but not a priority.) /media/tinymce_upload/0bbde2af191f2f76e118d409647dd409.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/ee7da6d03414794e563e40fb754522c1.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/e351238723ec8b99586cb5084a2eb614.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/98dfe0abefe60843e818fcafff84655e.jpg Scottie/media/tinymce_upload/22c23020c02c55f71036d0ac4d3f92fb.jpgAl.

Bulver Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Again, apologies to Jimbo, the USA tank is in BR black, late crest. Have to report that I fitted the sound card and speaker, worked beautifully, then......what’s that ‘orrible smell? Totally shorted out!! Will speak to supplier tomorrow, but am not hopeful of a positive outcome. They include a leaflet describing how these occurrences happen. I thought I had insulated everything, as recommended, but we will see. When it did work, the sound was great lol. Will post a picture separately edit.

96RAF Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 ...Just tried to download picture taken on my iPad, message says ‘not allowed’ oh dear Apple now saves its image files as some type that the rest of the world can’t use, so here is how to get round it.Use your iPad with the Home button on the right, else your pictures will post inverted.Open a picture of choice on your iPad photos area, then send it to files using the box icon with an arrow pointing up. Save it into say Akrobat and note the image (xxx.img) number allocated to it.In the forum use the black and white icon and from the dialogue box select Browse, go to Files and scroll to your image, click oK and it will load onto the forum.

atom3624 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 WTD - thank you!!No ideas why there isn't dust - our house has plenty!!Must admit I love that shot of the R2687 Scottie cab!!I've got a bit carried away with the streamlined Coronations - here's a few 'group photos'.The 'shed is just a few rails with a couple of engine sheds on a shelf in the garage - meant to inspire me ..../media/tinymce_upload/a5072e93c95329b18e39aa8f291bf4d6.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/a12bf0004932ff1bd13699175227432b.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/d5ddcef9c474cc991d3ffbbe32905a3c.jpgYes, there is a bit of 'soot' on the previous generation Coronations - don't think I'll be doing that to DoH - not just yet anyway!!

96RAF Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Great gathering Al, interesting variation in paint shades And the left hand blue one looks to be half a gauge larger, maybe due to camera angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I see what you mean - just the phone camera and proximity / angle I reckon. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo1707820979 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 @BulverMy commiserations on the damage to your new USA tank. Very frustrating, esp. in view of the high cost involved. 😢Thanks for posting a picture, which I look forward to seeing (without smoke !). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulver Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 /media/tinymce_upload/a131f4c95ee7c989945462a56ec7303b.jpgThanks Rob, for the picture info. I decided to use my phone (Samsung) to take photo. Now hope that it displays properly ( on Monday, of course). And Jimbo, the chip supplier (YooChoos) was extremely helpful. Have sent it back to them for inspection, they will contact me next week to discuss. But looks promising, fingers crossed. Anyway, hope that the picture will come out ok now.Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo1707820979 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Thanks, Bulver for the photo. Lovely little loco. I am still dreaming of one of these USA tanks. The sharpness of the photo could maybe have been improved by floodlighting. I am being critical. Sorry. Some of the photos posted by members are fantastically sharp, which makes me envious a bit. 🤐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Just sold a few more 'less-preferred' locomotives and have received R3330 King George V - very nice. All detailing now added, plus loco crew and hook replaced with Hornby metal 3-link at the front. What a nice locomotive - from a non-biased railway fan (so many are GWR or nothing!!). Couple of Ebay photos.Rails was the source via that 'auction site'.Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Don’t think I’ve seen any of your photos as sharp as the Jj. 😀 I have one of those locos. Seriously thinking of getting another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Photos after detailing fitted, 'on show' for now.I've greased and oiled her, and she's been running around a 4th radius 'circle' 'both ways both ways' if you know what I mean ..../media/tinymce_upload/e60a9ab0eadc49baa3de6053780d68e9.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/3ba13397eb57e1b9956a7496c49371b2.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/9cb6bde222baab84a8d5aa92ad4ed484.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/bba580787b7c454edea1a2d73e74b4b9.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/92136146157162859b2b930b0516e78f.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/b96e5778eb88038bffad60ba71820531.jpgAl.

Bulver Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Great photos of an iconic loco, thanks for sharing, makes me wonder if I should add this to my loco roster (my wallet groans). Used to stand on platform 1 at Paddington in the 1950s waiting for some of this class arrive. Really special.Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big big train Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Good evening everyone,I've just ordered a Hornby class 66" evening star",from the "bure valley railway" ,I'm sure looking forward to its arrival! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Just received my 20 (led) street lights from China at last for the princely sum of £6.99 including postage.And fine lights they are too. The base part has been slid up the post to the top for packing.Size looks OK for hO or OO. I have to privde my own resistors though if I am to use them on a 12v bus. /media/tinymce_upload/ce86e00ead6ecd45702eddf15e5b30a4.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
