If you hover over the little green thing above your avatar.. <----<<< ..you should find that you are on a 'Distinguished Road'. Where does this road go - and are we all heading in the same direction..?

There's rather too many roof vents on those, but it can be remedied by just snipping a few off - it comes from using a three-view drawing to form the moulds. Compare it to the new Hornby one - can't find a good picture of the roofs...

First Group to take over West Coast Main Line
Broithe replied to Warbonnet's topic in British Outline Modelling

First Group to take over West Coast Main Line
Broithe replied to Warbonnet's topic in British Outline Modelling
It has the ( rather obvious ) look of an 'over-bid', just as both GNER and then National Express did to win the East Coast one - then they both just abandoned it, one after the other, when they couldn't make the income for themselves (shock!) - the taxpayer then ended up paying even more in... Progress is not always forwards. -

I will search it out..

According to my good friend, Paul O'Brien, this book by Bernard Share is particularly worth pursuing if you're interested in this aspect of the railways. http://www.amazon.co.uk/In-Time-Civil-War-Conflict/dp/1905172117 Paul's own work is also interesting, of course - http://paulobrienauthor.com/

I forgot to mention that Michael Portillo was allegedly spotted at Ballybrophy last month - so expect some interesting episodes of Great British(!) Railway Journeys later in the year. I'll post any iPlayer links up here.

Back to Mk 3s - after the Mk4s at the beginning..

One of my favourites.. Although, they're Mk 2s.

As a friend of mine once said when asked to recommend a lawn mower - "They're like car batteries, you should buy them by weight."

It was in all the papers..

I only have experience of Gaugemaster's DC stuff, but it has all been faultless - it tends to look like it was make forty years ago, and that's no bad thing, before people thought they knew how near the bone they could take things..
