For those going down the dead scale P87 standards route, the track gauge used is 18.37mm, which gives a true 5'3". Obviously the checkrail and flangeway gaps are much tighter.

There's a couple of differences between the 372s and 393s. Whilst the wheelbases are shared at 7'3" x 8'3", plus the wider overall width compared to the Southern Railway Ns and Us, there's also: - 372s: 5ft 6in drivers; 393s: 6ft drivers 393s had a deeper drop in the footplate in order to maintain the same buffer centre heights as the 372s, plus small splashers over the topsof the drivers.

Is that the same signal design that was used on the Cheshire Lines Committee? -
Especially if you have an interest in French steam design....

That looks excellent Are we able to determine exactly what type of large tender is paired with 186? It's very modern for an engine which is fundamentally very old. I thought it was something which might, at one stage, have been paired with a 400/500 class 4-6-0.

It was probably trying to be a GWR Bulldog. -
Sure ye'd be like Bertie Ahern or one of those fellas. He didn't have a bank account either, 'cos he could cash a £38,000 cheque at his local bar....

That book is the only place where you'll see a table of all the differences in measurements, grouped together in an easy-to-read format, and much of that is derived from an earlier work by Peter Rowledge (I think)

Pencil me in for the RPSI Park Royals. Also, will the Commonwealth bogies be available as spares? I have an IFM resin Park Royal here which could do with correct Commonwealths.....

Some of the drawings used to be available online but, since MMSI became part of the Science Museum group websites, all of the drawings have gone. The only way to get at them is to arrange a personal visit.

Remarkable how crude scratchbuilding can be when you get it under the lights.....

Whatever became of those "pointer light" subsidiary signals? York Road seems to have been the only place they were ever installed.... -

I'm just after finding a possible answer to this. Very similar piston valve guides used to be available from Stelfox (now long gone) and were cast in brass for the ex-LNER K3 pattern. These were supplied in a pack of 4. On the outside face, they appear correct, whilst the inside is not. The idea is to graft the outside faces from one pair of castings to form the inside faces of the other pair....
