Here's his details: Rod Cooper, The Halt, Roshven, Lochailort, Invernesshire PH38 4NB Tel +44 1687 470284

Tempted?

If you can afford Rocar coaches, you can also afford to commission "Stella Artois" to build your engines. Prices start at a few grand. Something like a GSR "800" 4-6-0 would most likely cost five figures, with the decimal point after....

Loads. At least 400 quid a coach. But yer man puts everything into it - working gangways, curtains, carpeting.....the works.
-
Unfortunately, you need the boxes for things like that. Coaches like that are so expensive, you'd be afraid to run them....and certainly not at a show where you'd be paranoid they'd get stolen. Mind, though, Golden Age coaches are cheap (and not very well-detailed) compared to the ones made by this fella

Probably just a placeholder 'cos he has none in stock.

It looks like the shed office was extended rather than being a completely new building. You can still see the original brick/stonework and windows on the 1960 photo.

There'll always be some driver trying to jump the gun regardless. The only way to stop them is to shoot them.

Interestingly, Hollywood Foundry does sell a 21mm x 21mm motor bogie, but it's for 12mm gauge.... There is an alternative DIY kit that they supply, though, and it seems that you can build it in 21mm gauge as well.... Interesting, but feckin' expensive. Here it is.

Certainly does....

Excellent. Thanks to the man there.

Does anyone know what the wheelbase measurement of the Railroad 55 bogie actually is?
-
Assume Des will charge 75 Euro (about £54) for his "new run" body moulding. A new Class 55 power bogie is about 44.7 Euro (£32.44), and a used one is 27.3 Euro (about £27), whilst an unpowered one is 32.4 Euro (£23.52) if you pick the current Railroad one, or 8.26 Euro (£6) if you pick the Lima one Full list of available spares here

There's a lot of TippEx all over the left of the diagram! If I had the space to model Claremorris, I'd be wanting to show the track layout and signalling at its peak, i.e. the '60s rather than the rationalised scheme that exists today. Thing is, that was a bit more widespread. The Donegal did something similar when replacing the canvas roofs on some of its wagons with corrugated sheet.

Brilliant. I can put some numbers and arrows on that.

Dear God: the smell!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Preserved era?

Ah go on. Hardly revered! Kit is just after arriving. I like the contents already. Very neat resin body moulding that's just asking for some decent glazing in the screens. Very clean detail etch. The LEDs are tiny!! Instructions are in Des's usual "house" style, and include four sample three-quarter views of the real things - maybe a photo of the model, with numbers showing where the etch parts go, might be an idea for those who are not fully familiar with the Sulzers; makes life a little more understandable. Decals are included, though I'll have to ask Des whether he could do up a special sheet of numbers for B103, since "3" "4" and "8" are the digits that are not on the sheet! Now.....what sort of paint scheme should B103 have.....?

Think the EB110 was a much better looking car. And it actually looked like a car, unlike the Veyron which is basically an aeroplane engine pretending to be a car.
