    I always get a "404 Not Found" when clicking IRRS Flickr links.

    Want it now, want it yesterday.

    It's a toss-up between 18.2mm and 18.37mm. I'd have thought GSR / CIE and Victorian Railways would have more in common, track-wise.

    It is, but there could be allowance for FB rail in future developments. Who knows?

    3ft 4in diameter wheels....almost the same as the centre ones for the BR Class 31...

    The new era of, as it turned out, relative parsimony....

    There's also 3D-printed "PlugTrack" which Martyn Wynne (creator of Templot) and others have been working on for a while.

    See that? Now that's a face only a mother could love!

    That sounds like Peco, which owns the Parkside kit range

    Not going to be available to me, as I'm in the UK.

    No built-up smokebox (or round-top firebox) is easy to roll, as you're doing a standard roll and then having to change direction. Pain in the neck, even with a rolling mill.

    I think you'd enjoy having a stab at a Jidenco Class 50 kit....

    Saabs were always well-engineered cars. That's probably why Saab never really made much money, so had to settle for annoying GM by re-engineering GM parts.

    Nothing but the best for the faithful

    Pointwork will be the challenge

    I wonder if he's tried a Jidenco Class 50....?

    Hoarding's such a terrible disease.

    Some reprieve there.

    ...and yet that's basically how antisocial media works.

    Seems that the only tapered boilers that the GSR/CIE ever dealt with were those on the Woolwich Moguls. Everything else was strictly parallel.

    If the 400s hadn't been quite so flawed, there might not have been the need to build the three 800s. The 500s were appreciably better than the 400s, but there weren't enough of them.
  23. Horsetan
    The Caprottis were probably the best of a bad job in the context of the 400 class, but there were only the two that were converted.

    That's not just any oul 400 class, but one of the two Caprotti valve gear ones - it looks like no.406 with the straight footplate. This one lasted until 1957 - the photo suggests it had been out of use for a while, as corrosion is clearly visible on the reversing rod and the upper slidebar. The other Caprotti 400, no.401, kept going until 1961 and may have used spares cannibalised from 406.

    IRM B4 bogies have arrived....let's get that Snack Car out...
