    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.

    Here's a GSWR 4-bolt chair. Original photo on Brian Solomon's website

    I prefer horses.

    I'd suggest that New Zealand doesn't yet have the feral culture that has spread itself over Britain and Ireland during the last few decades.

    Managed to acquire a set of the correct P4 profile wheels. The axles are to be replaced with longer ones appropriate for 21mm gauge.

    The 'RA boys were always good at hiding bodies.

    I've long been an advocate of punishment that fits the crime. Arsonists should therefore be burned at the stake.

    Ken McElhinney RIP

    Horsetan replied to ttmac's topic in News

    Sorry for your trouble. To most of us who never met him, news like this is always a shock. Ken provided a number of very helpful drawings and measurements to help the construction of my SSM kit for the 800 Class 4-6-0, making the engineering puzzle that bit easier to understand. I'll always be grateful for his knowledge.

    Spare Mk.2 bogies?

    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?
  14. Horsetan
    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....

    Bugger. Missed out again.

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

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