Hello,

Does anyone know the best way to contact brand bright? I know they recently changed owners, I've tried emailing but havenot heard anything back for a week or two.

Hello,

I'm looking at purchasing my first bogie coach, in particular the IP engineering lowered ashbury summer coach. I know in the past IP have made their models to suit both 32mm and 45mm gauge but is this one true to scale for 16mm?

Kind regards
James

Hello,

I'm looking to buy some of the Atropos Penrhyn Wagon kits but I can't find any contact details. Does anyone have an email or know of a website where I can fine a price list?

KjellAn where do you get the black chain for the coupling?

ModelEarth have just released these wagon tops to fit onto binnie skip wagons. They also sell them as a full kit (With the binnie wagon). I think they look fantastic and will definitely be picking up a few soon!

Ah fantastic, thank you!

Hi guys,

I'm wanting to convert the wheels on my binnie tippers to metal wheels to help add a bit of weight, and I also think they run better. Is there a manufacturer that sells the correct wheels? I've had a look in the past with no luck.

I think if I didn't get the rivet punch, Keith, I'd probably end up in a similar situation to you and put off starting the kit, which is a situation I don't want to be in! £60 is just far too much for me. I intend on buying a few more kits in the future but I don't kit build very frequently so it ju...

Hi guys, For christmas I've asked for a D class wagon by swift sixteen. I've already looked at the instructions and it says I'll need a rivet embossing press to punch the imitations in the brass. The tool they suggest to use is £62 which is quite a lot. I was wondering if anyone else had another met...

Something like a hunslet would be nice. [/img]

Hi Guys, I'm wanting to have a go at some weathering on my models and wondered if anyone could recommend some good weathering publications for garden railway scale? I've seen a few hornby weathering magazines and I would guess the same techniques would apply for larger scale? If anyone could recomme...

Andel Models. Are they still trading? I've not seen anything new for a year, and I've seen a feedback about Andy not replying to messages, is he okay?

Ah okay, thanks Roy. Do you have an email address for him?

I'm trying to find some figures to populate the garden railway at the moment, quarrymen, driver crew and passengers and also some workers for my penrhyn coaches. I really like the busy bodies figures by Rob but they're quite expensive. I've checked out model town too but I'm not too impressed with t...

Will Roundhouse be releasing a new loco at the show this year? Any clues as to what it could be?

Hi,

So I know these are available here http://www.7-8ths.info/busybody/modelearth.html for 7/8ths scale but I wondered if anyone produced these in 16mm?

Thanks!

Hello,
I've been interested in making my own models by laser cutting for a while and fancied giving it ago. Would anyone be able to give me some help and tips such as what software to use, somewhere I can get the parts cut, what would to use, etc?

Sorry for sounding very novice at the subject.

It'd on the US site at the moment but I hope they sell it in the UK. It's 45mm but hopefully convertable? Would make a great loco to 'kit bash'. http://www.accucraft.com/modelc/AC77-101-C.htm

This was also in the newspaper as well. Think it might have been the metro but I'm not too sure. It is rather sad.

I have some locos built for 32mm track that I made out of knex a number of years ago.
