  1. Yes, B103. Stephen
  2. Taking account of the 6.5” gauge difference, I use 20mm track centre to platform edge and 47mm track centre to track centre, if that makes sense. Stephen
  3. Or forced air ventilation. Stephen
  4. Yes thanks. Stephen
  5. Excuse my ignorance but what is a third party tool? I am using the iPad I have used for many a year. Stephen
  6. All of a sudden there are no Murphy Models on eBay.co.uk, only on eBay.ie. Any reason for this? Stephen
  7. Read the articles in Railway Magazine with great interest. Stephen
  8. Thanks for that useful information. It gives me the opportunity to operate prototypical trains to and from my imaginary Youghal sugar factory. Having read the link, would molasses have been a byproduct as well, or were they imported instead? Stephen
  9. For three months at the end of every year the sugar factories were busy processing the locally harvested sugar beet. Two questions arise from this: 1) What happened for the rest of the year at the factories, and 2) What other traffic was there both to and from the factories? Stephen
  10. One of the most realistic scenes I’ve seen in a long time. Stephen
  11. Excellent piece of collaboration between two the parties involved. I wonder what’s next in the way of accessories from IRM & friends. Stephen
  12. It’s that stuff called rain, which falls but occasionally in the Canaries, but when it does, it does. Stephen
  13. I remember an article in the late Model Railway News about the A/001 class. Stephen
  14. The failed PLC was just one element of the Llangollen Railway. It was not the operator of the railway but provided items of rolling stock, together with engineering services. It was the commercial failure of the latter that caused its collapse. Thankfully a way forward has been found. Stephen
  15. Noel’s approach to bidding on eBay is one that the memsahib and I have used to great effect for a long time now. It takes all the pain and misery of continually bidding and counter bidding. Stephen
  16. It’s always a good idea to try tonengineer out reverse curves and all the problems that go with them. Stephen
  17. Tantalising close. Stephen

  19. I wonder if that’s due to COVID-19 or was it just not working? Stephen
  20. I agree with David, very much good enough to be in the model press. You’re too hard on your standard of modelling. That’s what I’m hoping to achieve. Stephen
  21. All looking good. Stephen
  22. £425 seemed a reasonable price for the UG, considering how much both a U and UG went for just a few months ago. It was a bit surprising that there was only one bidder. Stephen
  23. Looking at the 00 Works website, they appear to have produced the LMS 2F 0-6-0 before. Stephen
  24. The U and UG models have both been sold in the recent past on eBay and I believe we are talking in the region of £700 each. They are ‘rare’. Stephen
