choralc Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Well done Hornby, Arnold Brighton Belle ordered Easter Sunday arrived and brought to the hospital by my lovely lady. Cheered up my morning unpacking it and the other items onto the hospital bed. Incentive to go home to run it in after watching that YouTube video on how to easily put it together.

Yelrow Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Now then, I have just taken delivery of the full 5 car Brighton Belle, in 00, so have both gauges. Its magnificent, more so, as only paid £75, for power set, and got 3 for price of 2 coaches. Coupling is the interesting bit. With N Gauge, you lay it down, next to track, couple it, then put on track. Easy. Not so simple with 00, as you need a long run of track, plus more hands, than the lord gave you.. I developed a system using a track rubber to support under the couplings, so they will join on track. By moving the rubber from coach to coach, hey presto. What a superb running set, moves with a sort of a swish. Its a yes from me. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazy Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 It's finally arrived. The Roco DB br111/media/tinymce_upload/3bcae88b596ff8f1aa8f11c570cd02ec.jpg And remembering it's from the early 1990's it's a very fine model. And still holds up very well compared to today's models.

choralc Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Great Western Branch Line Termini Vol.1 by Paul Karau. Saw before I bought on-line that it had pics of stations and one or two track diagrams but was bowled over by scale drawings of buildings at each of the five locations: Fairford; Lambourn; Tetbury; Wallingford and Watlington./media/tinymce_upload/109a134ba49e288b62400f6cff674307.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenGiraffe22 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I just nabbed a T9 no. 314 in Sunshine livery off ebay for £65 mint in box, it must have sneaked under the radar because I rarely see them go for less than £80, I knew if I waited patiently I'd eventually be able to grab a bargain! It's gonna look good weathered up on an ambulance / troop train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
