New Railway Modellers Forums

Good to hear that things went well and hope you get something sorted with Kyle MRC - but you'll just have to get something running somewhere in the house!

Hello Barry, You can find Hornby Service Sheets here: https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/downloads/view/index/cat/22/?p=3 The N15 models don't specifically mention R2620 and I'm not familiar with the model itself (so I don't know if a replacement bogie will automatically include the guard irons). However ...

G'Day Ex-Pat Nothing wrong in that, and a lot further than I've ever got in Brass, I bet now, if you went back to it, you'd finish it in no time. :D manna Thanks manna you've hit the nail on the head with the words " no time "! Another ancient scratch-build I started way back in the 1960’...

Thanks manna . My scratchbuilding days started (and ended) way back in the 1960's. In view of your interest I thought I'd better dig these out (took longer to find than I thought they would!). I started building a J39 whilst still at school using brass and nickel silver, and this is as far as I got....

After glueing the smoke deflectors into position Humorist was commissioned







P.S.The builders are still on strike as far as the rest of the layout goes.

Only remained to glue the deflectors to the loco - back to viewtopic.php?f=22&t=50019&p=667225#p667225

The first A3 I bought was many years ago at the Hawick exhibition – it was 60068 Sir Visto (a re-named secondhand model). I was never overly happy with it as it had a double chimney and later style emblem, neither appropriate to my time period. The latter could easily be rectified, but substituting ...

This is the work mentioned in my layout thread at: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=50019&p=667225#p667225

'Evening BILL - I found this thread most useful - viewtopic.php?f=16&t=40053&p=492996&hilit=Idiot#p493187

OMG - I can almost smell the dankness and mould on the building - a "real" station building.

Yes, I'd be pleased with the wagons as well.

The 2 roads that go through Hawick shed were real-life 12ft between centres - leaving me approx. 16mm between sleeper ends in model form. Rather interestingly however there were plans at one stage (that were never implemented) to build a new 3-road shed nearer the turntable. Strangely, the 3 roads w...

Really sad news - first Jim's Gateside & Northbridge, and now Friargate - is it catching? - where can I get counselling?!

Look forward however to the new layout.

Very nice looking.

Now I could almost be tempted by that one, as it was a Hawick loco during the period July 1928 to August 1955, but spent its time out-stationed at Kelso shunting the yard there.

Is that a good enough reason to get one I wonder?

Although I went to Warley on the Sunday I didn't notice Rails overshadowing Hornby at all. I knew both they and Hattons would be there and planned to check out all three in any event. Perhaps I'm just an advertiser's nightmare in that I generally know what I want, go for it, and don't let advertisin...
