As it's 007, maybe the IR logo could be turned 90 degrees to form a pistol?
-
Yes, the builder couldn't wait for Alan to do the dedicated "WT" chassis (which will have spacers for 21mm gauge), so is using the Comet chassis for the Fowler 4P 2-6-4T. He'll probably have finished the model by now. C'mon now, Alan, get the run of yourself and do the chassis, please! We're still waiting!
-
Someone was already having a go at this back in September 2018 - this was on display at Scaleforum at the time: I think it was the same fella who built this "W": I still haven't bought a "WT" from Alan, as he (still) hasn't finished his chassis etch design for it yet.

That one is featured in the current Model Railway Journal

Excellent. The "Killybegs" turntable kit was long unavailable.
-
E-mail sent, then.
-
Thanks. It is probably a bit late now, as all the coach packs are sold out.
-
I'll send you a PM, though I assume that if the liners were sent before Christmas, they're probably just resting in the British postal system somewhere.
-
I actually sent an order for the RPSI Cravens a year ago, with a cheque, by registered post. The RPSI denied receiving the order. Cheque was cashed, though. I gave up.
-
I haven't seen hide nor hair of my B&I liners yet, so they probably won't arrive over here until well into the New Year. Presumably all these snags come as standard. I did receive an IRM Christmas card, though.......

Not a modelling photo, but....

So far, mostly working alright. It went to the recent Coventry Citroën event. Never mind a children's hospital - Crossrail or HS2 would do, or that nuclear plant that the French and Chinese are supposed to be building....
-
I'm after spending that on my 31-yr-old Citroën CX over the last two years, partly due to gearbox failure. 'tis all relative.
-
The Class 400 tenders appear in photos to be longer than those attached to the 500s. OT but pity no 400/500s survived; they seemed to have been long-lived engines and quite handy.
-
Having also been interested in 186's large tender, there are some photos of the same general type attached to "500" class 4-6-0s.
-
That's an example of an underslung post. More often seen on the other side of the Irish Sea. In model form, SSM produce suitable posts and arms for GSWR/CIE pattern. Failing that, you could also use the Stevens & Co., or Saxby & Farmer spectacle plates produced by Model Signal Engineering
-
The mental jump to a £600 level for a British/Irish outline engine is quite a considerable one but, if it had been a continental HO model, that price level would be seen as reasonable! I suppose it's all about what you're conditioned to accept.
-
Very tall driving wheels (5'8"?) for an 0-6-0. Reminds me of MR/LMS "4F", but on steroids.
-
Small manufacturer bites the dust Presumably IRM / Accurascale are on rather stronger financial footings....

Put me down for a couple of sets of Commonwealth bogies, please. -
.... plus some Bell / B+I liners.

Those bogie sides look the business. -
Hopefully it won't come to that. I did send my order and cheque in by International Signed & Tracked Post, so hopefully it'll reach Dublin by Christmas Eve.
-
Hopefully they still have a few sets of the original run left; I'm just after sending in an order......!
