New Railway Modellers Forums

It gets boring and doesn’t help the credibility of this forum (if there is any credibility left). Surely it is time to follow the others and lock this thread whilst you still have some credibility left? Whilst I agree that arguments for hanging and flogging do not take this issue anywhere useful, i...

Are you happy with the livery? The green that Bachmann applied just looks a little 'off' to me.

Well, wherever you go, don’t forget to try out the famous echo in the British Museum Reading Room. An absolute must I’m told.....

Tony

Yep. Heroic stuff going on there.

I cannot see that I would have ever done anything like that, but I did do some pretty bloody stupid things, with others, when a drunken teenager. The combination of alcohol, the pack and wanting to be ‘big’ can be a dangerous formula.

Tony

Thank you.

What made them for me was being able to rig them with real chain. I knew that cotton thread or fishing line just wouldn’t work. For one thing, neither would hang properly and for another, only chain looks like chain!

Tony

Double post.

Thanks both, comments are appreciated. Stone tended to be delivered in very large slabs by rail and road. The yard made a huge variety of ornamental stoneworks and monuments.

I am not an N gauge modeller, far from it in fact, too old and hopeless eyesight! However, the club is building a large and magnificent exhibition model of Box Station, based as accurately as possible on original plans and with a superb backscene painted by a professional artist [club member], and t...

Yes, I was planning to use Dullcote to take out the over-scale, hard-gloss finish George. But I also want to flush-glaze them as the existing glazing is too deeply recessed in the thick window surrounds. I don’t yet know whether these models can be unscrewed: dismantling will be essential to enable ...

Does anyone on here have any experience of improving Oxford or Base Toys n gauge road vehicles? If so, I would be very interested in your observations.

Thanks.

Fools of the week awards go to.... What are these people on? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ks-OO-GWR-K15-Passenger-Brake-Van-Kit/333216300366?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Actual value around £20 to £25 and they do appear quite often. Extraordinary: I have never seen o...

You're correct:Lyndon D is the CEO of Hornby but my understanding is that Stanley Gibbons is part of Phoenix Asset Management's wider portfolio. They have a 58% share I think, along with many other interests. To be absolutely accurate about Oxford, it is owned by LCD Enterprises, in which the Chairm...

That's the one, it's situated off Paseo Delicias in a large, old terminus building. In fairness, whilst poorly organised from a visitor point of view - and particularly from a foreign visitor point of view - it does contain some fine old electrics, some very nice Fiat railcars, some quite vintage st...
