Re: Accucraft Yeo

Prize draw, I didn't stay for the draw. Came back from the gym with a missed call telling me that I had won.
Are they identical to Lew?

Re: 2019 16mm Show

I would honestly say that this show offered a lot of variety of traders this time; last few years have been a bit dull with the familiar faces supplemented by G-scale second hand stands... Good to see more locomotive, stock and lineside suppliers this time! Long may it continue and I hope we get a g...

Accucraft Yeo

So apparently I have a Yeo arriving next week... Is there anything different to the normal Accucraft practice with this engine? Has anyone who owns one had any interesting quirks with running them?

Re: Bowaters Models - 16mm Rolling Stock Kits

Pleasure to meet you yesterday Jon. The 91 and the Hunslet looked great! Might have issues with loading gauge for the 91 but might get one for display...
WHR carriages looked great! Once I've got the FR rake done I'll get a few.

EU article 11 and 13

For those that don't know; this means that NO content can be posted unless you are the creator or have permission from the creator to do so. The UK can roll this out within 2 years. Just making ...

What bogies are being used on the Ashover coach? Swift Sixteen War Department in either 32mm or 45mm gauge bogies. Our own bogie project isn't ready to be used for such a purpose just yet. We'll have more information at a later date when it's appropriate regarding using our own designs. Jon Bogie p...

Re: New Accucraft Loco Dolgoch

There appear to be a few issues regarding Accucraft's announcement and accusations of underhand dealings that are probably best not discussed here. Yes, we had quite a debate on this on Facebook at the time, and the mods unfortunately came down on the side of Accucraft by censuring us. When a manuf...

Re: 10 Year Challenge

The Gloucester Transport History website is hosted by a family friend who used the site as a form of advertisement. It all went for a good cause!
Unfortunately the aging (and reducing) family called a halt to the weekends and the LVLR was completely rebuilt to it's present form.

Re: I.P engineering open wagon feedback

IP are good, we've used them for years and respond well to any form of painting. They can warp so be careful, serious warping will be sorted out by Ivan if you give him a call. If you want to finish stock to your liking they provide a good sheet to customise. Really, only Swift Sixteen, Brandbright ...

Re: Electric headlights in the UK

Thanks guys, I'll probably get some small single beam units for the Garratt. The Darjeeling locomotives used similar set-ups during the 1920's.
