Ive just done up a quick google doc of various items Id like to move on, take a browse if you like and dm me if theres any questions or offers, I dont know how much interest there will be as its mostly british stuff, but we all know the perils and expense of importing so its handiest to offer the stuff here first before sending it back over to Brexitstan! Ill be adding more when these are gone and keeping the doc updated, thanks for looking https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hKmWM8x-OkyMy67sDcX2vrHQMyjAG7mfCHt6PfnQ2QQ/edit?tab=t.0

*cough*

They're quite good little engines really, lots of diecast on them, I also have the W4 but that ones fate is decided as a chassis to go under a printed body! I have quite a few other british locos and stock to be selling on as I have a garden railway and a vintage Austin to fund

I have a green NCB version of the B2 peckett if thats any good? bought it for the chassis but I wont get around to that project any time soon, Id do it for 100

Shades of the Listowel and Ballybunion drawbridges

Utterly humbling to see what people are able to do with the prints I supply Colin - there should be enough room between the inside faces of the splashers to build to 21mm, but I imagine people building to that standard would prefer the SSM kit

The coarse stone is wonderful stuff, I just wish they sold it in bigger sheets, until now I didnt know about the random stone, and googling it, it does look rather odd, I think Ill be sticking with the coarse

Ive also been looking for as much WLWR material as I can acquire, but at the moment the best I can do for you is a photo of 27 Thomond before rebuilding, from, if memory serves the Clare county council website linked here a few months ago

Ciaran Cooney on Twitter reckons its a southbound Athenry-Limerick working seen at Ennis with the WCR lines in the background

The 2-4-0s (GSR class G3) were very nice engines, first built 1889 last withdrawn 1959. They're a strong contender for my next project after the 0-6-0 is finished

yes indeed! for anyone that wants one Ill be supplying extras

The last piece in the 800 class puzzle, the smokebox handwheel

I dont suppose you have the instructions for that? I have one to build too but unfortunately no instructions

If youre to do so at home, you need a printer that will print white (rather than toner) they're out there for a price, but theyre not especially common The good folks at Railway Mania do custom transfers to order

Always a pleasure to see your work Gibbo, you make what are quite difficult conversions (Fowler to W mogul in particular) look easy, great to see

Thanks very much all! truly praise from Caesar The surface finish in person is significantly better than the last sample, however there were some unfortunate marks on the boiler and smokebox which are down to the printer having to be cleaned out, as well as a small hole in the running board on the front right side I am particularly pleased with the way the M2.5 nut is held, it goes in this little trough as shown, the model is tipped forward to line it up with the hole, and then the chassis can be inserted, and the original mounting hole used

Cab detail from the first finished model, it will be tomorrow before Im able to take proper photos

The first test of the finished model started printing at 1am last night, it should be ready in approximately 2 1/2 hours and be ready to show tomorrow all going well

This might be of use to you

I snapped up this Rivarossi Saxon Meyer in the Hattons closing down sale, a snip at £58, also a DCC SNCF 0-4-0 (0-8-0 in English) for £40

A absolute work of art Alan, another tour de force

- The death of Goethe was more recent than the death of Freddy Mercury is today - Puffing Billy was still at work at Wylam colliery - The Charge of the light brigade was more recent than the death of David Bowie is today -The Battle of Rorke's Drift wouldn't happen for another 17 years, and the gunfight at the OK Corral for 19 years

Absolutely lovely to see this vehicle get some well earned attention, the third oldest passenger carriage in the country, would you have a length and width over body to go with that lovely drawing perchance?

Oxford Dean Goods, which is within 1mm of the prototype wheelbase and perfect wheel diameter, the wires connecting the tender pickups to the loco will need to be soldered together to enable it to run without the tender The 800 class is officially finished awaiting the first test print
