Re: Paints
I've tried looking there but can't seem to find Indian red, which I imagine is what the FR are using in the image above The paint used by the FR used to be called Mercedes Red. but I believe it is now just called "FR carriage maroon" or similar and mixed by the manufacturer as required. A...

If you want to use rattle cans (spray cans) Halfords or a decent paint factor. Works out cheaper than humbrol sprays. I have seen a conversion chart for rail colours from car colours but I can't for the life of me remember where. Halfords can be reasonably helpful as they can mix odd colours. Most ...

Paints
Hello all, Is it still accepted that spraying is the best way of painting rolling stock? If so, in the absence of an airbrush, what would be the best place to get aerosol paints from? Looking for the current red and cream used on the FR (or similar): http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/Spud2k/Ff...

Coaches
Hey all, I'm really struggling with coaches. I have never scratch built anything in my life, bar a 7mm flat wagon many moons ago, but can't seem to find a kit that suits what I'm looking for. My fictional line uses stock constructed almost exclusively from ex-WDLR kit, so I've been trying to find ki...

Just come across a chap in America who makes some of the best quality scale figures I've found yet. Yes, they are 1:20 but it's close enough, isn't it? http://scalehumans.com/orderform?NGF

I had noticed that, I'm waiting to see how their armoured simplex turns out, might just be my first locomotive buy! I'm also looking at their bogie coaches for the main passenger stock and their bogie box van for transporting the tea chests around (might have to modify them with some ventilation tho...

Couplings
Hey Folks, I'm currently exploring couplings as I begin getting my stock together and somewhat uniform. As the premise is mostly old WDLR stock, I want it to be semi-authentic and scale size. I've got a few tippers that use chain couplings but this doesn't feel right with locomotives (especially WDL...

WDLR Kits
Hello All,
Can anyone recommend a good source of WDLR wagon kits? AnDel's look easy to assemble but something about just looks...odd, I'm not sure what it is!
Many thanks
Chris

Durable Railcar
Hello Folks, Could anyone point me in the direction of a good, durable railcar? The railway I am planning to build (SM32) is undoubtedly going to have some kid interaction and I'd like them to be able to play with something that's almost indestructible. I'm thinking along the lines of the Faller e-t...
