    Update: Des has replied to me, and should have written to you separately by the time you read this.

    The voiceover suggests that this is for personal rather than mass transport in urban areas. It doesn't say anything about how or where these vehicles will be parked when not in use; presumably some sort of sidings network will be needed in addition to running lines.....

    Have e-mailed Des now. Hopefully he'll pick it up in the next couple of days.

    Let me have your details if you think it might help. I had e-mails from Des yesterday confirming the J15 was in the post. I'm happy to send him an e-mail on your behalf. It is important not to lose sight of customers.

    Mine's now in the hands of An Post...

    It's like the arms race in the 1960s and '70s. First we got the Bomb And that was good 'Cos we love peace and motherhood, Then Russia got the bomb But that's OK 'Cos the balance of power's maintained that way. Who's next? France got the Bomb But don't you grieve, 'Cos they're on our side...I believe, China got the Bomb But have no fears - They can't wipe us out for at least five years! Who's next?

    Are there any photos showing the colour light signal gantries at York Road? I'm particularly interested in the "pointer light" miniature signals, as they're always shown "in the distance", and never close up.

    God help you.

    After all, the LMS did something similar before sending the two Jinties to work on the NCC; they turned the driving wheels centres inside out on the original axles, gaining the necessary clearance and wider gauge that way. An Irish solution for an Irish problem!

    The cab structure itself was not wider. That retained its British width. The same thing happened on the K1a as well.
  11. Horsetan
    Not quite as simple as that - the overall width over footplate was at least 6 inches wider than the N, as was the width between the frames - once you notice it, you can't "unsee" it.

    I thought Robertsbridge was in East Sussex.* *geographical joke

    Empty stock?

    The other good thing is that all issues seem to end up in the online archive later on, so it's always possible to access them.

    That reminds me I have two or three "singles" to tackle in the years ahead, including a Midland Railway "Spinner" and a GWR Dean Single. Adhesion, or lack of it, will be amusing....

    Does that not amount to the same?

    Given the pricing strategy of Shapeways in recent years, wouldn't that just make the models unaffordable?

    I think the J26 tank would be an interesting comparison with the old TMD/SSM design, and castings for it might be available as a pack from Des at SSM. And yes, the facility to build it in 21mm gauge is important. Wonder what the price would be? There's nothing else in that list that interests me, I'm afraid, unless Roger has a sudden hankering to produce a K1/K1a, 400 or 500 class!

    Better off scrapping it. At least you'd get some money back.
  21. Horsetan
    He can take a while to reply, partly because the e-mail software he uses isn't exactly the best. That said, sometimes he happens to be online and replies within minutes. I've had an e-mail from him in the last couple of weeks as he is ready to send me that J15 kit....which I now have to find "near enough" wheels for....
  22. Horsetan
    I keep saying that it's a wonder the scrap metal thieves hadn't moved in and cut stuff up years ago.
  23. Horsetan
    You'll notice that the majority of these are fairly bland, so that people don't end up with bad breath after eating.

    GMK005 has J15 no.108 at the head of the train GMK003 looks like 558 from this angle, due to the shape of the last numeral on the plate.
