    I agree an express in full flow, or mollying along as my dad used to say, is impressive, but a heavy goods heaving up an incline takes a lot of beating.

    Lots of spares on Peters Spares, have you looked. Here's an example. https://www.petersspares.com/hornby-x6599-class-8-duke-of-gloucester-cylinder-block.ir

    I'm well into having meaningful conversations with my kids.
  4. walkingthedog
    Ah you've got him to the grunting stage. Well done Al, progress is being made.

    Carriage sidings I guess. 😉 I have passenger coaches and no station. Take up too much room.
  6. walkingthedog
    One of my favourite locos. Used to see them all the time at Slough, almost always on passenger duties with the occasional goods.

    I have always found Hornby to be very good, trouble people usually only post on here if things don't go well, pity. Really nice to see a positive response.

    This might be of use. https://vintagehornby.net/products/vintage-hornby/o-gauge-locomotives/

    Don't get HO they look very undernourished and would have trouble lifting a shovel. The Dapol figures need painting and are easily adapted to represent different periods.
  10. walkingthedog
    The OP didn't mention a station. Why do you assume 2 platforms? Might just be a siding.

    Dapol do a set of workmen with just what you want plus a few more. /media/tinymce_upload/dac453f597fca7e0fd7f832fb45e26f3.jpg /media/tinymce_upload/8cd05e9ed465c5b9b598f3dc888a5662.jpg

    That's what I do BB.

    Read your post incorrectly thought you'd put Hall 2-6-2. I know the branch went to Watlington but it was still a light branch line.

    I just searched for Hornby BR green mallard and this was the 4th item. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HORNBY-00-GAUGE-R2784X-BR-GREEN-4-6-2-CLASS-A4-MALLARD-60022-DCC-FITTED/283794466175?hash=item421377e57f:g:h50AAOSwaBJeVBrc

    This is DCC. The link is just an example. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hornby-R2784X-RailRoad-Mallard-Locomotive/dp/B00260GERA

    The last was a Railroad version, loco drive.
  17. walkingthedog
    No I don't think so. They haven't made a tender drive A4 for years.
  18. walkingthedog
    Hall is 4-6-0.
  19. walkingthedog
    The line from Chinnor to Princes Risborough is only really a light branch line so I wouldn't have thought the locos woukd have been particularly heavy.

    I use a variable temperature 60 watt soldering station. Works for just about everything.
  21. walkingthedog
    I'm not sure it is shoddy I reckon the detail is too fine for the size of model. There must come a point when you say enough is enough. Bit like adding eyelashes to an OO man. The detail on a large steam loco is easy to damage let alone something the size of Rocket.
  22. walkingthedog
    Nothing.
  23. walkingthedog
    The new one is more accurate and finer but by all accounts too fine John. If you want to run it I reckon the old one is better.
  24. walkingthedog
    Next thing I'd like to do is learn to weld properly.
  25. walkingthedog
    When I did my GPO Telephones apprenticeship I soldered tens of thousands of wires and don't recall burning my fingers on hot wires. Did get hold of the wrong end of an iron once...........only once. 😉 You hold the wire against the track with the end of a wooden coffee stirrer.
