New Railway Modellers Forums

A very nice innovative result there.

G'day Gents The J5 that featured on page one, manna Is that it on the far left at the buffer stops? I wasn't sure so I spent a most enjoyable time reading through every page again but didn't see (or managed to miss) any mention of it! - I see that on page 11 I suggested a new track plan might be ca...

Kernow at Guildford are about the same distance - although it probably boils down to what you consider to be a "good model railway shop" - it depends on whether you are looking for a trainset shop, a bargain shop for rolling stock, or a serious kitbuilders/scratch materials shop etc.. This...

Thanks TomTom - I'd say that's good advertising for Wills Coarse Stone sheet - must inspect it closer next time I have an exhibition I can make it to.

Very interesting and commendable stuff.

The platform edging really takes my eye (particularly when magnified) - how did you do that?

Lucky you Alex - some people are happy to shell out extra for those smoke effects!

Anyway well done in fixing it, and best of luck with the re-opening.

I got my covers from All Components - however it seems they do many colours but not brown!

The shadows on the water and wall in the penultimate photo really make it one that could fool many people in an identity parade of real and model photos.

No, Jim, I haven't received anything - will PM you.

WD looks just the business Jim.

Why do you play Twister with all the danger of breaking your glasses?!

In the 1950's my first train set was a second-hand Trix Twin Midland Railway compound complete with that ugly high bakelite track. The loco was extremely heavy, and interfered with the TV reception to such an extent that a suppressor was required. The set grew to include my pride and joy - 70000 Bri...

That's a lovely "clickety-click" over the points around about 50 to 53 seconds in.

The J11 sounds get my vote.

Nobody's gone for any points yet as to your prototype location - how near or far would Failsworth be?
