    Were they really black? Or were they actually a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very *very* dark blue?

    If you're building it for 21mm gauge, P4 profile tyres will reduce the touching flanges problem somewhat.

    Will it come with a 3D-printed figure of Daniel Craig, given that he starred in the film of the same name?

    The light makes it look nickel-silver, and the instructions look like the later ones. SSM rather than TMD?

    Quite funny how there's two generations of the same kit. Same thing with the J26 / E tank. There are two versions of the chassis - original brass, and later n/s - and some chassis parts from one cannot fit the other, due to the wheelbases coming out slightly different.

    Two boilers? Will you be squeezing two J15s out of that lot?

    For everything else, there's virtue-signalling.

    The Dundrum starter signal has a lattice post, and might be better represented by the kit from Studio Scale Models, kit ref. S12. The only disadvantage is that you'd have to build it, but it's a lot closer to the photo than the GWR signal.

    The only real difference between these and the Lego couplings is that the Lego mounting arms were rigid, with the magnet discs pivoted horizontally, so they didn't drop unlike the ChrisDraw ones.

    This is basically the same type of magnetic coupling system that Lego (and possibly also Playmobil) used back in the 1970s....

    FTFY. SSM waited 5 months to receive a new batch of J15 etches.

    Yes, they happen to be President Xi's dreams.....of domination.

    A catheter with a tube leading to a strategically-placed bag might be alright in an emergency....

    I'm sure there are retired 'RA gunmen out there who may be at a loose end and who might be glad of some practice to keep their hand in....

    Comparison with today's satellite view of Clones, and - engine roundhouse aside - it's hard to believe a railway ever passed through there or that a once-extensive station existed.

    Before doing that, have a go at SSM's Wickham inspection car. At 27 Euros, it's not going to bankrupt you if you mess it up. All brass, so your soldering skills will be tested, but not complex. Once you're satisfied it's gone together, I think the E/J26 will be ready and waiting for quite a lot of soldering. Don't make the mistake that one past Forum member made of launching straight into the 800 class 4-6-0. He ruined it and it was a terrible thing to watch it happen. 170 Euros down the drain.

    As much or as little as someone is prepared to pay for it. 65-70 quid would be fair. It's the previous generation model now, but would only have particular significance to devoted Pete Waterman fans. To everyone else, it's just a decent Black 5. Other Black 5s are available.

    I feel sorry for anyone who ends up being Executor for his Estate. It might be easier just to heave the lot into a skip.

    That fella is well on the way to becoming a hoarder in later life.
  24. Horsetan
    To be honest, it doesn't look that much of an advance on the previous generation. I suppose there's only a certain number of times that you can squeeze the juice out of a lemon.

    Did they? I only ever remember seeing a photo of a single one there.
