Well that will keep you busy in a few months time - just enough to sort out the A class ! - sorry flats and plough brake.. Have fun Robert
-
Hi I guess so but that does mean its a pattern for a future set . Speaking to lads at work we are not sure where Dave Andrews is at the moment but if I can get to him I will suggest that interest generated and see if he has had a change of heart or perhaps would let me have details of his suppliers - it was long ago and the chance of masters being intact might be slim so this might still be a dead end ! Robert

Just a thought Worsley works do 3mm overlay sides as scratch aids in 3mm perhaps a 4mm version possible for the want of asking? Robert
-
Good to see , what is "under the bonnet" now ? Robert
-
I guess price would be in the range of the Heljan 37 - £600 . Which would make a few wallets scream but if its what you want ... Robert

Gents , To confirm Wrenneire`s post - beat me to it - such efficiency ! Pictures are one and the same, he was a driver for what became Virgin trains and was in the control for a while after incident to help recovery - a good lad and it was by pure chance we ended up in 071 chat to amusement of rest of shift. The rest is history ! Robert

Hi Wrenneire, PM back towards you ! thanks

Hi Found a lost treasure, for a good home at sensible price : Andrews 071 resin body kit with cast whitemetal and brass castings and etches The etches provide for chassis and bogies - wheels, motors and gears required. It looks straightforward and the resin body is lovely and crisp. I guess I bought on a "rainy day" basis but I think it is time to pass on. I guess offers £250 ono. thanks for looking Robert

Hi Well the DBSO kit is back £55 details from info@britanniapacific.co.uk Useful for the NIR nearly happened vehicle... Robert

Good for all at IRM - a long felt want !! or a peat want ... I think I understood the plans were used to smuggle A class drawings out of the works ..... and by sheer chance and a bit late I came across a GA for a APT - E while looking for something completely different at home yesterday. Robert

Gone for repair ? or sudden export requirement and Dublin docks not able to help so off to south western terminal and staged in cork over night ?
-
Hi good to read and work looks good . I was going to cheekily suggest for "surgical spirits" surely a waste of guinness Robert
-
I am also at this stage with mine but stalled on side grills - today contacted John Fowler of A1 models who back in the distant past did a set of Mk3 gen grills... hoping he can find some or art work - I asked for two sets if he can find them. Looking at my effort I think I have the angled slow to long and need revisit so the 5.5mm is also useful to my version. Robert

Mike, T Thanks for message items now shown sold and PM sent Only the three Bachmann bogies remain Thanks Robert
-
That will please the accountants among you and a lucky modeller even more. I guess three years before batch 2 would be about right to grow a demand of hopefulls !! Its all cash flow so down the bar to celebrate with another kind of flow ! Robert
-

Preorders of IRM Tara Mines Wagon begin this weekend
Robert Shrives replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
I plan to use my two MIR Tara mines wagons as a the basis of the shale conversions to put into the IRM based train. so good to see both in the same rake. Also lovely pics the shabby workaday A looks lovely and clearly a good basis for a weathered version - see mercig`s fine works Robert- 188 replies

Hi Thanks for that - I was wondering as it had the spark guard plates and the central yellow line marker which seemed a "marker" for 47 footers over 42 footers - have to me more careful when looking at photos - and as they say every day a school day thanks . Robert
-
merry experts - Were there two or more batches of the 47 footers ? As the bogie to vehicle ends distance differ in the photos above . thanks Robert
-
Nile has updated RM page with shots of the 47 footer - looking good , got some bogies today ready for it Robert
-
Hi All, Has anybody got any good side on pics of the early NIR maroon/ blue Mk2 stock on the Enterprise or similar. I am looking at getting Steve at Railtec to do some number and crest sets but it would be good to get colour and font . All part of finishing Mk2s to hand. - Just need a red Hunslet... Cheers Robert
