  1. It was the Railway Magazine report I was referring to.
  2. NBL, Hyde Park Works?
  3. Hmmm.....might have a look at that....I'm not a member of the IRRS, though.
  4. One magazine is reporting that, with focus now being given to 131, that may cause a funding problem in respect of 171's continued overhaul.... No. I know. I'm waiting to see if, amongst the huge drawing collection that was transferred from Inchicore, there are any covering the "S" class 1938/39 Dundalk rebuilds.....
  5. "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"
  6. UPDATE: BNSF no. 4929 sold.
  7. Interesting.
  8. Very awkward wheelbase. First and second axles could be covered by an existing power bogie - possibly one of the twin axle ones that Bachmann used in their early versions of the BR Class 40/44/45/46 diesels.... (photo from Wikipedia / Creative Commons)
  9. Ah....now it makes sense. For a moment there I thought the predictive text had got the better of ye....
  10. What a curiously blithe, sweeping statement there. Exactly. Farcebook is not a cure-all, but an example of antisocial media.
  11. There'll be a lot of people trying David's methods now, as sales of Liquid Poly go through the roof!
  12. Oddly enough......oh wait, hang on.....up to my eyes in SD90s....
  13. This is where US diesel drivetrains could help.... *coughs discreetly*
  14. I recently opened online accounts with two German retailers of Weinert detail parts. In both cases, the English language version was offered, but only the German language version actually worked properly!!
  15. It's basically the same sort of motor you would find in a CD drive.
  16. Maybe it only works for German-resident customers?
  17. I couldn't believe it when I read it! The things you learn.....
  18. Anything in HO involving brass, nickel silver, etc. will generally be telephone numbers. Ask German, French or Swiss modellers.
  19. The "Jeep" could also lend itself to a "hybrid" project - Hornby Fowler 2-6-4T boiler and chassis, Bachmann "Fairburn" tanks, footplate and possibly the bunker, Hornby Black 5 driving wheels. Interestingly, the regauging was apparently done by whipping off the driving wheels, removing the tyres, turning the centres and crankpins around, then putting the tyres back on. This was sufficient to fit on the 5ft 3in and the frames and motion were not touched in any way!
  20. That could certainly pass for CDR Railcar 19/20 or one of the West Clare cars, or at least the driving cab could, even though the scale is slightly out.
  21. UPDATE: Santa Fe no.669 claimed by Warbonnet.
  22. ....and just one item of Kato rolling stock: 35-6003 Chicago Burlington & Quincy Corrugated Business Car, all silver. £15 plus post.
  23. 11. 37-2901 EMD SD40-2 Mid with Snoot Nose, no. 6799 in BNSF colours. £55 plus post 12. 37-6311 GE C44-9W, no.4926 in BNSF livery. £60 plus post 13. 37-6312 GE C44-9W, no.4929 in BNSF livery. £60 plus post. 14. 37-6402 EMD SD70MAC Cab Headlight, no. 9837 in BNSF Executive colours. £60 plus post. 15. 37-6404 EMD SD70MAC Cab Headlight, no. 9853 in BNSF Heritage II livery. £60 plus post.
