  1. That looks way off to me - the colour in the middle of the strip three to the left looks a lot closer to me (allowing for the fact I'm looking at it on a screen). That, or the colour (S 0585-Y40R) at the end of the strip you have the sample on looks closer too
  2. I'll go for one Weshty - hopefully you get the 8 needed for the rerun
  3. I love the tyre marks on the concrete - very cool freight handling yard that
  4. Well then - go build your own to your own high standards if that's the way you feel. Perhaps other peoples standards aren't as high as your own - doesn't mean they should listen to you and boycott whoever, just so they will produce a higher standard rtr model for you to buy
  5. Nice bit of modeling in the early series of Thomas, but it is all cgi now unfortunately
  6. I'm of the opinion of 'buy it while it is available - no sense looking for it in 20 years time'. I've no layout to run anything on as of yet, but I am buying stock so that when I have a layout, I will have stock for it
  7. I've no idea what the fuss about Twitter is all about! or how it makes money. Obviously not enough, as they gave a good whack of their staff the boot through an email only recently
  8. Rivet work looks very well!
  9. That's what I'm talking about Glenderg! Very nice Now all I've got to do is build the layout to run em on! That said, it'd be stupid of me to not buy stock while it is available, just because I've no layout yet. I have a mostly converted attic to use for housing a layout - just to come up with a plan for one & make a start
  10. I placed an order for 4 packs, with the staggered payment option. I reckon a rake of 12 would look the part behind a 141, along with a plough van or two
  11. Looks good!
  12. Cool - give me time to put some cash away in anticipation!
  13. I hope there will be an announcement at the Oct show. They would compliment the baby GMs released so far, and would be of interest to a lot more people, as they cover such a large period of time. I for one will be buying a couple of each livery variation that is released
  14. lovely work that
  15. 4x Jouef Mk3 coaches from Rails of Sheffield, may be of use to someone here. They are the 8 window type http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Assorted-OO-Gauge-Jouef-BR-Blue-Grey-Mk3-Coaches-/161815558490?hash=item25acf5795a
  16. That Shapeways 121 & detailing pack looks really crisp, although the pics are only of a rendered one. Anyone try one of them yet, and if so, what donor did you use (preferably a dcc ready one)?
  17. The way people cross / walk along the tracks, I'm not surprised. One driver they were talking to had hit over 30 people in his career
  18. Mind boggling the stats, from numbers carried - 2 million per day, to deaths - 9 per day. Excellent punctuality stats too - 95~98%. Next week they are going to be looking at per way maintenance & also the new stock coming into service. Well worth the watch!
  19. Great link that, Noel. I've bookmarked it for the future, as he has some nice prices on G scale stuff too
  20. Site dedicated to bridge strikes in Durham, NC: http://11foot8.com here's their youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/yovo68
  21. Do Yanks even do H&S?
  22. I'm not feeling that shade of green one bit
  23. dirty mackem!
  24. I think I'll be using mine as static models on an insulated track in a depot, as stored locos
