  1. Sure I might see you there. C&L are attending, so the only flat bottom rail available at the show is likely to be Code 82....again. I don't think anyone will be stocking Peco Code 75 FB.
  2. This from the man who builds Colin Massingham's finest (sic) in record time.
  3. For general retail: Code 75 FB rail is marketed by Peco, whilst C&L offer Code 83 only. It might be worth seeing whether there's any other FB rail available from HO track suppliers. The finescale societies are not much different in what they offer in the Members' Stores. The EM Gauge Society only has Code 83, which strikes me as a bit "tall", so I held off buying any at the recent annual EMGS show in Bracknell. The Scalefour Society currently stocks both Code 55 and 82 FB. Code 55 would probably be ideal for portraying very lightly-laid lines but may not work very well if you don't use finescale flanges. This weekend is the annual RailEx finescale show in Stoke Mandeville, which is a chance to see if any of the trade stands have suitable stocks of FB.
  4. Dublin Logan. Edit to add: there'd be at least three stations named Logan to represent three EuroSong wins.
  5. Maybe name 'em after Irish EuroSong winners. Plenty to choose from.
  6. Hell will freeze over first
  7. I seem to recall that Lima's early attempts at a Mk1 BG full brake incorrectly came out at a scale 64' instead of 57'. You could do worse than acquiring an old Kitmaster Mk1 BSK or CK kit and using that to break down as per @Mayner 's suggestion
  8. HMRS are not very good at responding to enquiries about drawings they've listed, but not provided a price for.
  9. There's at least fifty shades...
  10. Railway history was always a very poor and distant second
  11. Unfortunately antisocial media means that almost everyone does. *shrugs*
  12. I don't think he fully understands it either but, equally, he doesn't really care since it won't affect him personally - his finances (dubious at the best of times) are mostly insulated unlike most of his supporting clientèle.
  13. They don't want to understand it either.
  14. Worst-case scenario: these might be etches from three different types of carriage.
