  1. Nice. Stephen What wheelbase were the wagons? Stephen
  2. The loco is an E1R 0-6-2T, a Southern rebuild of an LBSCR E1 0-6-0T, but then you probably knew that. The coach appears to an LSWR gate brake, similar to the kind of thing produced by Kernow Model Centre. Stephen
  3. Halwill Junction, the southern end the North Devon and Cornwall Junction Railway, one of the last of Colonel Stephens lines to be built. He used to refer to them as associated railways, the fifth group of lines in GB. Stephen
  4. So true, but it’s the enthusiasts who are the most vociferous in terms of telling what you should be doing and how. Stephen
  5. That is beautiful. Stephen
  6. And finally, how would the lime and coal have been delivered and the beet pulp and refined sugar collected, in trainloads or wagonloads? Stephen
  7. Thanks for that. Stephen
  8. Coal and beet obviously arrived in open wagons but how did the lime arrive? Stephen
  9. I expect there’s a good reason why B131 is running bonnet first. Stephen
  10. A thing of beauty indeed. Can’t wait to see the others. Stephen
  11. It really does look like the real thing. Well done. Stephen
  12. There was just such a proposal not so long ago to do just that. We’ll have to wait and see. Stephen
  13. I was always under the impression that VAT was not applicable to secondhand goods, the process of adding value through the life of a product finishing at the point of sale. Is this simply a case of raising revenue the easy way, catching the large, multinationals proving too difficult. Import duty is entirely a different matter. Stephen
  14. So,was somebody or something just making a point with the suspension? Stephen
  15. What about the Tara mines traffic, doesn’t that use the same track to the same terminal? Stephen
  16. But not insignificant if you live along the route, especially when you get onto single carriageway sections of road. Stephen
  17. Forgive me but how can the decision have nothing to do with the CEO? If that were to be the case, surely it would be a resignation issue? There’s clearly a pro roads policy operating within Dublin Port. Can you imagine lorries being banned on the grounds of congestion. Stephen
  18. Andy Cundick already has a beautiful 21mm gauge model of Valencia Harbour. Stephen
  19. Lovely to see more operations on the south Waterford line. Stephen
  20. StevieB

    export

    The 121 class was part a small number made by GM for export. Whilst looking very American, none ever ran there. Stephen
  21. Yes, B103. Stephen
  22. 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
  23. Or forced air ventilation. Stephen
  24. Yes thanks. Stephen
  25. Excuse my ignorance but what is a third party tool? I am using the iPad I have used for many a year. Stephen
