All Activity

Don't think my question on the lights went down too well. Apologies, didn't mean to cause offence .

You have my sympathy about the 4DD. I have a blue 4DD, having seen the real thing at close quarters the body looks right to me, the close coupling is the best yet for a Southern Electric. If you have a layout with just a plain length of straight track, totally level with no pointwork then you will love this model. Sadly mine is unable to complete 30 minutes in each direction running in. I too have derailments every lap on my 3rd radius Rocoline test track, which is a plain oval with a very slight gradient at one end. I have probably spent 8 hours trying to loosen screws on the bogies/close couplings/checking the wheels etc, as yet no luck. Either the outer motor bogie derails or the trailer next to the motor car has a bogie ride up on the rail and off the track. I could send it back for a replacement, but it seems a problem with all the KR 4DDs. Irish modelling is a lot easier.

I was one of the members involved. The only driver in what turned into 17 hour road trip The sprite van was unintentional, but ironically since allegedly parts of 90s boiler came from GSWR’s “Sprite” locomotive.

Anyway, back to the 4DD. I re-railed it and ran it THE OTHER WAY through the point with no trouble, but it still derailed in the other direction - I'm keeping fit going to retail it each time - remember my layout is house long! Then, I thought I'd show you it moving where it didn't derail - you'll love this - derailed right in front of me. Only 4 seconds, you'll love it! I've looked at the offending trailer and the bogie has more play than others, so I IMG_4181.MOV am looking for a suitable screwdriver ........

Ah yes, but she can get an All-Line, trains boats and buses, First Class for a YEAR for about CHF6,500! Trains on time and most places at least half-hourly! Who would own a car? I believe that spouses and kids get a big discount.

Late? What do you mean late? The Heretic’s outings at Blackrock: On Adrian Clapa’s Vesper Road: On Herbert Alexander’s Over The Hill: On @Dempsey’s Barrack Street Yard: On Dougal McFarlane’s Morceaux Ville: IMG_1679.mov I thought I already posted these, but clearly I was wrong. Thanks to the brilliant and friendly layout owners who let me Hereticise their layout. Sorry for forgetting to post these.

Platform 1 at Portlaoise: (Blue Circle) IMG_1839.mov (Red Circle) And here’s the locations of the two: Note I’m not sure the blue circle is completely correct, could be a couple metres off either side as it’s hard to make out whats what on the sh***y Google Earth imagery.

Many thanks David, have to agree regarding a mixed rake. Certainly plenty of variety on the Midland during the period. Clements notes a train of 10 bogies with some 5(!) vans behind, and many photos in the IRRS show similar.

That set of tools probably covers most of the queries that people are likely to have with orders. Excellent.

She was hardly making rock buns or rocky road? Anyway, I hope nobody chipped a tooth

In the past!

I'm afraid it only applies to items which are in stock at the present time.

Have a pair of Park Royals on order, is there a way of gaining the points on my current order before the day is done? Order was confirmed the 6th of November.

Where is the talk happening?

It's taken a bit of time to get it working, but all orders now get this suite' of tools, and we're still exploring how to apply them to existing.

Is it going to be heading by rail

That’s brilliant!!! Even if it’s only for newer orders, it’s a great step to take.

What’s this???

Actually 'new' orders now support a full suite of editing, including shipping changes and application of discount codes after the fact (unfortunately it's only working for orders placed in the last month or so, and going forward)

The orange DAF!!!

The hustle and bustle on the platform is charming!

The lights look amazing, they bring a sense of life to everything.

That’s some stunning photo realism, @ttc0169!

Great to see some more progress!

Made a start on the sea wall part of the layout. Cheers Darius
