Re: Directors' saloon

Surely the directors saloon should have a cabinet full of booze?

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan

John — Quite right too, that’s not hijacking the thread at all ( and I’ve just got another one of those cheapo tank wagons, as well). You going to cut out the windows? Well, I have yet to get up the courage to start hacking the body about. It would be OK if I could find a replacement body in the UK...

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan

Nice. In no way meaning to hijack the thread, I got my hands on a Devious Diesel last Christmas. Still plenty to attend to, but its a working loco.

Re: Lets see all your scratchbult locos in G scale etc

I did this one in Lockdown II & III (or was it III & IV) Cobbled together from some bits from an IP engineering chassis and a few other bits and bobs. (A sort of NER/ Steeplecab battery electric thingumybob) Kept me entertained for a month or so on and off. 239583040_837201146996166_15172923...

More pictures as requested, I forgot about the writing on the rear doors, but fancy this will be easily removed. Its printed on "on top" of the paint like a transfer.The van roof simply clips off. This leaves some dicast sticking up that can be filed/ground off to tidy it up and the rear d...

Hello Everybody I have got FIVE Solido 1:18 Citroen C4 vans I wish to get rid of. Bought on a whim when I thought I was going to have room for some form of road transport operation to go along with my railway, I can now see I will never have room for this. So there is no point in keeping them. Avail...

Unfortunately the box has been mislaid, in one of my housemoves probably. A pair of unused 32mm wheelsets will be included. I woul...
