Christ I have the Same problem. Nothing get past you kid! Whats on Ebay? I just did a tally 300 plastic kits so these gotta be culled now. I only have a few on the Bay. No space and no time and the old skill or perhaps it was luck is draining away from me. Rumor has it this ship kit has landed in the ol Lades house, 140cms length. A Certain lad hits the 50 this weekend . Que hangover on Sunday!

Heard there are quite a few Brunel Statues being made now in China to sell along the way, Larges hats too. He would be well chuffed to see the GWR hit all the way to the west.

Stephenson's Rocket Hornby Gauge OO
Georgeconna replied to murrayec's topic in British Outline Modelling
LOL, I'm sure although its will be stuffed and mounted it will pop out every now and then for a run! Just to let you know there is a 3rd class coach coming out too. It would be a nice addition to the scene! https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/l-mr-open-third-class-carriage-era-1.html -

Semaphore signalling super train era
Georgeconna replied to richrua's question in Questions & Answers
Des, Supplies pre wired tiny leds, a Tab too bright TBH so you would be better off with Fibre Optics and a bigger white LED to power the light under the board You should order one off him to see what what an give it a go. They are quite sexy looking when done if you can say that these days -
Semaphore signalling super train era
Georgeconna replied to richrua's question in Questions & Answers
You can motorise them with a Servo easily enough (I started A bracket signal some time back but its left in a box with my modelling mojo) When I get going again I might have a go at this as it is something different. Alternatively use a Dapol GWR signal and a SSM arm. Those Dapols are wooden post signals but that were used around the network too. Have a read thought this thread on RMWEB it will give you some pointers re animation. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/59687-semaphore-signals-4mm-scale-mainly/page/35/ cheers George -
I get mine dropped to work, works nice and simple, Just start to sweat when I have to remove them from car to secure location in the dead of night. Before I used to get away with, 'It's Just More Weathering Stuff love some chap dropped to me' LOL! I don't have any Grey 071's but have the ol black n Silver Jobbie so can just scrape an excuse there to get some.

Blimey, I have to wait till next month and have a think about these. 121 out of the blue from RPSI this month, not to mind the other day to day bits n bobs like beans of toast for the family. veritable Avalanche of stuff coming down the line. Question is do I really need these yokes, My ballast is glued down? If the yellow yokes on top would be available separate at some stage as I imagine they are interchangeable with the kegs and containers some people already have it would make more economic sense to the punters instead of having rakes and rakes of 42 flats. Just a thought. Can I ask how Many other Variants are there to do on the 42' Flat? cheers George.

Nice idea by the RPSI but I can't help but think another loco on top of the already heavy release forecast along with incoming rolling Stock is pretty crazy. Good news on being able to take a Credit Card too as this makes it much easier unlike the cravens release. Fingers crossed I get some Green Backs for the big 50 next month!

Port to Port approx 2K these days , add on locals delivery clearance etc.

True Enough Robert, had bought some weathered stuff myself that were poorly done, Delighted then to find out they were Powders. Quick wash and bobs your uncle
-
Tis like a Dirty Protest rather than a weathering job. Love the way the hook is untouched. You could just weather up the Bubble a bit more to get over that one.
-
oh, Thats knocked the price down on those two. Novel Double pack too.
-
I'l check that tomorrow, only have US Rates to hand right now, a 20ft is about 300 bucks cheaper than a 40ft from the US.
-
"40ft box about €1,500". Try double that from East cost and Add on locals for clearance and Delivery.

Just one the Body Noel, Leave it overnight, old Toothbrush to get the paint out of the indents etc. Maybe to goes at it should do the trick.
-
This is happening to me quite regular now to the point I am nearly giving up painting Models. It is really hit and miss if the paint does not pull off or not. It causes loads of extra work and time these day. Get a Large Freezer bag and Some oven cleaner and the paint will come off for you no bother.

Got my final one 5152 in Marks Cork yesterday, nowt wrong with it.
-
You actually get a buoyancy aid one free with it! (well they say its free). Perhaps I am getting soft if I am getting rid of a loco!

Fab Stuff, Personally Delighted with this and the person buying it obviously thinks it well worth it too and will get a pristine untouched unobtainable Baby GM. Proceeds Going towards My 11 Y/O Daughters Kayak for her Birthday!
