  1. I am also like some people here, and do worry about how factory weathering looks, yes the master might be stunning but it's all about how the factories in china can do it. I was worried to see how DJM's J94's would turn out weathered but its safe to say that the people in china have been able to capture the masters pretty well and it looks good. Here's some pics on hattons of the production models, notice no difference in price as well which is always a plus.

  2. Hello everyone,

    Whilst I'm working away on commissions etc, I thought some of you might like to see what dad has been up to, he's just recently finished this O gauge Parkside Dundas 20/21 ton hopper an is now building a second one.

    Its challenging to fit a reasonably powerful motor inside a J15 boiler and find enough space to add weight and a decoder, it will be interesting to see how Hornby? will motorise the new Dean Goods.

     

     

    Hornby did a great job with their GER J15, the body and cab are both made from die cast metal and the motor is still able to be powerful enough. Hornby aren't updating the dean goods, it's Oxford rail, they making a brand new model of it.

  4. A very good company, I've ordered from them before via cheque and the whole process was quick and smooth. It is best however to email what you are wishing to buy just in case he doesn't have it in stock, but everything can be made to order.

  5. Then later in the programme they showed was supposed to be a live feed of a group of GBRf 66s coming from Newport, including the Evening Star 66 under tarpaulin. The move took place months ago. Silly billys.

    Haha that was brilliant, people were also sending in pics of the measurement train taken months before haha.

  6. I also watched it however I strongly felt that the program should not have been live, it would be 10 times better if they in pre recorded clips and didn't rely on what was happening at the time. The presentation also felt a bit blunt and the scientific math stuff! What was that about!. Anyway the program advertised at the end looked extremely interesting.
