  1. Where does one acquire these little artifacts from time to time?
  2. Thanks for that, lads. I realized the bottom LNER was probablely genuine but the CB&PR is a fake too? I'd be happy with a GS&WR one just to have a little something:)
  3. No, I spotted that too. There seem to have been at least 16 of these things yet no other photos that I have found anywhere. They have obviously had use but there appears to be quite a few potentially open pipes etc. Would these be large enough to be from a lorry and they just happen to be headed for the scrap-yard on the flat wagons?
  4. Yes indeed, Kieran. Very nice sets, and the more I see these the more they grow on me
  5. How does one confirm the authenticity of various pieces, particularly signs, which seem to turn up from time to time. It's hard to be sure that they are the genuine item or something that somebody has just cast a week ago
  6. Duplicate from post #8 above Thanks for that, John. What's your reference for the GSWR wagons please? Thanks, K
  7. Many are, since the models were prepaid about October 2015. A nice product but I'll be relieved to finally receive mine
  8. I suspected that centralized distribution was not necessary. Lots of old photos of churns on the platform awaiting pickup, at least when branch lines existed. Great map by the way
  9. I think I have also seen some bulk milk containers mounted on flats as jhb suggests. Finding a photo might be a problem as I can't remember where. They can't have been too plentiful so JM poses an interesting question EDIT: Haven't sampled the contents but this would seem to be one I was thinking of from Brian Flannigan The first tank are sitting on 25201- series 12T flats (1962) with hand wheel and the second I cannot see but it is has the traditional brake lever
  10. Lovely shot, Tony. Is that the Omagh goods shed spanned by three tracks?
  11. Great to see the Irish Shell restored. I do prefer the (oddly?) spaced original lettering though. Also the Irish Shell & BP livery
  12. Partly obscured but this might help overall http://www.niclassicbuses.co.uk/before--after.html
  13. If you wanted to add some detail with plasticard, the cab side window and passengers windows are split. Window size may be different as is the number of windows before the door (5 versus 6), side name boards and of course a luggage rack. The front destination board is wider and you'd need to add a rear view mirror, indicator, small boxy thing and a new profile where the first passenger window meets the roof of the half-cab....depending on how close you want to get it to that prototype
  14. Hit Reply. In the Quick Reply window, the icon third from the right on the task bar on top will allow you to insert an image usually on your desktop or in a folder on your PC/Mac
  15. Exactly. It's hard to judge a foot or two with an obstructed view over 100 feet away. Think the driver was waiting for the signal but none was actually given. The liner seemed pretty solid
  16. There is a whole bunch of videos online, YouTube and the like
  17. May I take the next 2 please Snail and Lost Line. Please PM me THanks
  18. No chance of sticking it in an intermodal container then?
  19. It sounds very different to the GMs. Many of the Metro-Vicks were probably recorded after they had been re-engined with many of the earlier videos not having decent or any sound. If we assume for a minute that someone might produce an rtf A class at some point in the future it would be nice to have some recordings if they're comparable to the Irish diesels. I know there are some sound chips out there for the A class but not sure what they were recorded from?
  20. I was wondering what the status of the TDLR restoration was? I came across something on the web that seemed to be updated maybe 2014 but maybe not more recently than that? Who has possession of 18T at the moment?
  21. I do wish Alphagraphix had a website
