A lot of 00 Bachmann gets reproduced in N as Graham Farish.

Only thing of note personally is a long awaited Class 101 in the white w'blue stripe "refurbished".
Been after one since I saw a real set parked at Cambridge in the 80s (they worked to Hitchin)

Blue? Green? Superdetailed?

FTR I ended up using a Railroad Mallard as a green Kingfisher 60024 with red-backed nameplates. Also has makers plates & along each side of the boiler are the diamond plates worn by the engine until just before it was scrapped. Im going to use another RR Mallard (once I find one) as the donor fo...

Must say that Ive been frugal recently.
Bought a Duchess of Hamilton N gauge from Chief & only considering another A4 body for my TTS Gadwall to replace the existing shell.

Id second that....

I have to thank ANY of you guys who put up with me on here, cos I have a habit of going on tangents, not always being clear or just daft. Never had a prob & mentioning the BlueForum, thanks for all the helpful info from those of you like me who are members on both when it went Tonto the other da...

Saw a real one parked up by the siding of Norwich Thorpe last week. Tend to savour it when I see one, as Im very unlikely to own a model. A) It looks to be a long way off being made/released & B) if it does materialise, I have no doubt it will be near £140 or more. Its not something Id be going ...

Darned frustrating to find some do & some dont. I found a nicely detailed Scotty, £65 S/H & thought "Ooh, might be tempted" when I was in my local shop the other day. It was perfect for me, lovely extra lining, banjo case dome, single chimney & apart from having a black namepla...

Seen a RR Mallard in garter blue & the decor (numbers/lettering) isn't as nice as that of Falcon.
First alteration I would make would be adding some LNER Fox transfers.

Must say I was concerned. Thankful I managed to get successfully logged on here first.

Their Railroad 9Fs all have glazing, Evening Star, 92221 & 92214 COTN...

I picked up one last year Barry. Id even had a big cull of diesels I didn't think were essential but resisted until about Sept time, then thought "Ach, what the hell, why not?" Got D7040 in blue with the white window framework & small yellow panel. It is a pure work of art & will b...

Oops-double post

Not meant to sound "sour grapes" in any way, but the offering of an A4 in LNER green is great,
but I really don't like the shade Hornby use, if its the same as on Tornado & the P2.
Bachmann's has always looked nicer & more like that of apple green Ive seen on the B1 & B12.
