  1. I always thought it spoke volummes that one of the first things they did was to demolish the remains of Blennerville station.Andy
  2. Not a problem it doesnt act like a flywheel just gives a smoother run Andy
  3. Just fitted one to a Great Western LEO Class (Broad Gauge) and it works a treat Andy
  4. No6 was out of use at closure with a broken axle which was replaced after the sale i wonder what else was done at the time.Looking at the photo the only steam viable is from the drain cocks so would imagine the issue would be leaky tubes.Andy
  5. I assume the jib was removed for clearance reasons,it being shes a crane tank,it used to be at Cranmore back in the day Andy
  6. My earliest scratchbuilds were in steel admittedly not the whole loco just various bits and they were fullsize,Class 56 fan grills anyone ? Andy
  7. Check out ebay theres someone who does a new etched chassis for them Andy
  8. Stock box versus gravity no need to say who won, fortunately it was only the two locos,so as Lochty was at the front of the pile and hadn't been to Southampton since 2022 that went instead it did mean it had bit of a run before Tonbridge next month as for Marlborough it will be at Swindon on the 7th of March Andy.
  9. Its No2 in its unrebuilt form on the to do list having done a rebuilt No4 Andy
  10. Certainly not a threshing machine,not sure about it being a fire engine going by my experiance of working on Merryweather and Shand Masons the basic structue is right but the wheels are too heavy and theres no boiler and pump at the back.Andy
  11. I seem to recollect somewhere that the ratio was 80% vans to 20% opens the opposite to the UK.Andy
  12. The simple solution using open wagons is tarpaulins which can hide a multitude of sins Andy
  13. There is a simple solution all of them ,as green is pretty good at fading so the shade will change with time .If you think about a train with all the the same shade of green would be fairly unlikely.Andy
  14. Afraid so on home turf this time Marlborough as it was in 1865, Andy
  15. Looks like i'll see you at Southampton,i.ve got my broad gauge layout there first trip out so could be interesting Andy
  16. It might be worth checking if Alphagrafix ,Andu
  17. Certainly makes sense i'd be up for a couple most of the fittings are avaliable from MJT, Andy
  18. The Bandon tank is a nice easy one to do having built two of them,also Nickel Silver is much nicer to work with.As for which of the Alphagrafix kits to go for wouldn't it make more sense to go for just one to start with and go from there.i'd would be up for any of them Andy
  19. Coach No30 away from its normal haunts on the Letterkenny branch along with trailer No2.Andy
  20. If its any help contact Ducket Models as Stuart does a replacement ventilator for the horsebox to its proper square section rather than round.Andy
  21. Another book he did was Cork City Railway Stations 1849-1985,mines the third edition so there must be a few around .Andy
  22. Couple of points if you use coreless motors be careful .as feedback controllers as they can fry them.As for Mashima motors i have not ha to replace one yet , i had Bruckless out at a show the other day and at least 10 of the locos/railcars are in there 30s all operating with their original motors not bad considering their are running on their fifth Donegal layout with at least another one to come.Andy
  23. Absolutely not. Mashima motors and High Level gearboxes are what i regard as the heavenly twins most of my 21mm locos run with them.The new motors from High Level are just as good. now on my fourth J15 still its most suitable for the next Irish layout Newmarket. Happy modelling Andy
