This arrived today, looks very smart and will look sweet next toothed Bulleid diesel in the same livery. Down side is there seems to be a fault with the bogies nitvreally true which results in some of the wheels not sitting on the track. Some chaps have had issues with running, as i dont haveva layout wevwill see at some stage if thevwill cause me isdues, if it does Hopefully an Easy fix Doubt I will reorder stuff again as like previous models these errors seems to get fixed on a 2nd release.

Nope bought zero from them. Mind you Jan was a Killer, Bought a Kayak, Drysuit and some other gear,Class 20 and Booster. Totally wiped out.

Interesting point, There are 1000's of locos never run, God know I have a shed load myself that I have built up for that big day. Even though the receipts are in the boxes I doubt a claim will be entertained. The Mazak Class 31 was a bad one. Hornby would not entertain anything, I ended up buying a chassis block and installing all the gubbins. The Squeaky IRM bogies were another one. It would of been nice to have the defective bogies replaced Free but I can also see that as they have said Irish stuff barely breaks even so maybe not feasible but it was said the models were out of warranty when someone queried a free replacements.

Blimey, Only went once. Wonder if the IPMS Telford will go the same way at some stage. hopefully not, There is not so much an Ageing Demograph in the ol plastic kits side when compared the the Model Railway side plus the kits are still a wee be more affordable!!

Ordered a Class 20 which was delivered and SR Booster from Rails on the way, I just Pay VAT on arrival and €3.50 to the PO. Simple no messing.

Was not much to start with TBH Tempted with a Dapol B4 O gauge with sound but left it off. Vanished now.

Really Tough about Hattons., TBF I have not bought any thing from the UK since brexit until very recently when I bough a class 20 and Booster loco. Stopped buying from Kernow some time ago, For Pre orders they have a daft set up by charging your credit card for the total cost of the item, then they credit your card in between the rate can fluctuate and you loose money.

This is thew Iron Duke, Laser Deck and Etch. These models come out pretty awesome with those.

Think the black should go up to this line where the arrow is. The HMS Hood Association says that the depth of the black boot topping was about 8 feet. This equates to 4mm in this scale, which is the distance between the two guide lines on the hull Mind you I like the thinner line.

Think the moulding from 1965 has just about had it!! Add a bit of etch, it really pops these boats. WEM 1/600 HMS Hood (PE 616) | White Ensign Models

Wow Vert interesting but of kit there.

Only saw this now. Not a bad kit, Looking at it I thought it would be a nightmare due to the breakdown of the parts but as bit of time and care it turned out a lot better then I had reckoned. This kit was a product from 2019 so modern enough tooling and the 406 is from 2005!!!

Its a great source, I used it for looking up old buildings when I come across them. very handy.

"so I have obscured her face" Wondering Why you did this?

Some Lovely shots on this thread that I have never seen before! thanks it now pushing my thoughts into the 50's as the more interesting of the Era's to run on a layout!!

Mind you, a "G" is probably a better option, though Silverfox apparently don't make them any more. Interesting, Wonder if they have been tipped off as one maybe coming out, Reminds me like a certain Beet wagon kit was not available coming up to the release of the IRM one. We may never know!!

JHC could not see half the title in those videos TBH. Should be in classified Ads too

Z21 adds 3 or 4 to the Written address I think, only daft thing about it really.

Decembers Steam Days 7 pages with lots of great Pics like the one below! Double Treat, Backtrack Dec 23 3 Pages Full Colour.

We don't do Supply Chain or brokerage for IRM so of no help their sorry. TBH could not say anyhow if we did...

Probably will be keenly priced every couple of months from now I expect. The same ol stuff gets peddled out fairly frequently these days.

Use your phone with the Z21.

Watched the Vid and the model looks fab. I had an old Hornby one from the 1970's that would survive a nuke,I can still smell the motor!! The detail is pretty awesome on this, Just wonder if the Etch footsteps and lamp irons etc are Glued or fitted into slots for Clumsy hands like myself! It takes me back to a trip with my Dad to Warley and then the day after to the SVR for a spin. A pannier 5764 turned up with 7 Mk.1 coaches. I sniggered at the little Loco, We boarded for the last service from Brignorth as twilight fell and we were about 2 coached back from the loco, By god the little Beast put in a massive performance with sparks flying from the Chimney, a sight and sound I will never forget. I could be tempted if this loco pops out at some stage, just missed it by 10 as 5754 is being released. hope this does well for you. 2024 for the Southern release then LOL!!

Had a Powercab, Too basic, Sold it, Got the Z21 Never looked back.

Nice close coupling there Noel. Love the Letter box opening on the coach side. Wonder how many people actually posted a letter into a train!
