Twintop Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Two SQuick Island Platform building card kits and a station platform card kit. Had to buy on-line via Amazon as my usual retailer closed, another 2 did not have them in stock, and another is linked with Metcalfe so naturally does not stock them. Having a think about the Railroad last chance to buy Mk1 brake 2nd. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twintop Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Not a brake 2nd on last chance to buy - a corridor 2nd MK 1 in maroon - ordered 2 as only £9.99 each and a brake second at normal price to gain free delivery. With the bundle of 6 and another BG bought earlier I can now have 2 rakes of 5 Railroad Mk1 s in maroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Recently had my Hornby R3114 B1 61270 back after fitting with Zimo sound, firebox glow coupled with coal shovelling and crew. Apparently it is difficult to fit a smoke unit, the fitter saying, "for some reason Hornby have made the boiler weight virtually impossible to get to & I do not want to cause any damage to the loco, therefore, I regret smoke is not possible."

LCDR Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 "Southern Rails around Southampton" by Ian Drummond, Holne Publishing2011 ISBN 978-0-9563317-2-4. He seems to have done a creditable job, clear text, clear maps and lots of well chosen illustrations, from a wide period of time, mostly historical but including a few of modern subject matter. Lots of colour and of course black & white clearly printed on glossy paper. I have recommended it to my son who lives in Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 A very nice book, it's in my library, along with the companion volume "Southern Rails on Southampton Docks" Another nice book is "Southampton Railways", by my old friend Bert Moody. I haven't seen him for many years - he's probably shuffled off this planet by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'm still desperately trying to continue shuffling on this planet, PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The son of Triangman Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 More vintage wagons for the museum layout. Easy to find unboxed, hard to find mint boxed today. Silver seal was only on a select few wagons at this time so these date from 1973./media/tinymce_upload/730780c0985e0ec5be0611c587939704.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Arrived yesterday from Liverpool by Parcelforce....R3184 Brighton Belle 1960 train pack....Problem encountered, the Table lights worked on DC testing but not working when decoder fitted....Tried 2 Hatton and 1 Hornby decoders to no avail but when any decoder was fitted wrong way, ie grey wire into pin1, hey presto, the lights worked on F1.....maybe this explains the very low price, could be a batch with incorrectly wired PCB......however, not a problem worth making a fuss about, it runs very nicely.

Yelrow Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Unless things have changed, the on line instructions are more up to date than the manual. I would suggest, a lot of reading, before you go much further.. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m_duck Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I've bought a blue box Thomas Tank Christmas Express set with the aim of putting it on a board and have it running around the christmas tree. I really wanted it in G scale but the missus went mad when I mentioned the minimum space requirement so it had to be HO in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
