TVR Diag.2073T - built in Feb 1911. Very strongly built with a rating of 30 Tons. Heavy telegraph poles were a popular cargo - and the wagon length also fitted in with these loads. Definitely still around in the 50's with some surviving into the 70's in departmental use. I have a Ratio one - with Di...

They look great - Hudswell-Clarke in my watch list now !

Painted samples of the Mogul on Hattons site today - for pre-order.

Current Hornby one - is a development of the airfix/mainline one - and is not in the current catalogue.

The forthcoming one is 'new' from the ground up.

Have Dapol withdrawn their competing offering - anyone know ?

Interesting - thanks for the heads-up..

Also this model could experience the wheel inserts (plastic) expanding and bowing outwards - easy to identify - flip the chassis over and look from the underside at the driving wheels - if the plastics wheel inserts are standing proud - that is your issue..

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.

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
