New Railway Modellers Forums

P.S. Apologies again for such a foolish error on my part, I'll have to acquire one of those at somepoint, used to have the red railroad one Sir - do not apologise - I must disclose that I am a big fan of the products of Barclay's of Kilmarnock and a Great Uncle worked there. I have an 06 on the wor...

Sounds like CCTs - Covered Carriage Trucks.

Used by all pre-Nationalisation companies - but also built by BR - give the above a google image search...should see what you saw then.

The Southern used them famously...

Not a BR loco - so not a Class 06 - which I think were Barclay designs

Updates coming thick and fast: "After considering various options and 'testing the water', here is the final list of Loco Body & Tender kits being produced:- MMR001 Class N15 0-6-2T £67.50 (deposit £15) MMR002 Class J37 0-6-0 £97.50 (deposit £20) MMR004 Class D29/D30 4-4-0 £107.50 (deposit ...

Update....(I'm on the mailing list) "Update on our email regarding MODELMASTER Loco Kits. The response we've had has been amazing! We've sold some kits already (which I didn't really expect so soon,) and added new kits for D29 & D33 4-4-0s, as suggested by several North British Modellers, i...

Four locos to arrive in January 2020 - all NBR - as resin bodies with metal fittings - no pics yet... N15, J37, D30 and D34 https://modelmaster.uk/ As a boy with links to Musselburgh, Edinburgh and the kingdom of Fife - will have at least the J37 and N15 - when I can see the pics of the engineering ...

Thanks once again gents. It's mainly certain PO wagons that I'm still after if I can afford them, but I guess the simplest way forward is to assume before I bid that I'll have to fork out for wheels and couplings. That way, if I don't but I still win the item, I'm quids in :) Are you bothered about...

That's a little belter - used around MR works, Gloucester docks and Staveley (MR) works

On the colour of the inserts - the white one with dark blue box - has many inherited designs from other manufacturers - including the infamous 10ft wheelbase 16t BR minerals (should be 9ft wb) - so no, not a good reference point... :( Broadly speaking the later clear inserts with blue/red box are mu...

Yes - it is not possible to say without knowing the actual model - just ask as somebody on here will have one - or know somebody who does

as said above the 14.1 coach wheels, in prototype form were fitted to 99% of new coach build from 1920 onwards - in solid disc form, but still braked by wooden brake shoes 12.6 wheels in solid disc form - equate (roughly) to the disc wheels used in modern coaching stock - BR Mk2 onward - which are b...

Tis a split chassis - ref 31-705 - see:

https://www.hattons.co.uk/11991/bachman ... etail.aspx

Yes - built quite a few Staniers as BR liveried jobs.

They go together well - my only gripe is the plastic wheels - but they are very easily replaced with Hornby 14.1 equivalent steel wheelsets...

Also the pre-coloured coach end should be black and they are not - for my time period

Definitely worth repairing - much superior to the mainline and early Bachmann split chassis IMO - as I have versions of all 3 - with the replica being noisy (from day one) - but mine has survived without major surgery - which is more than I can say about the others..
