Re: HGLW loco tweak
£45 each for the loco and MR603,is £90. A tenner for batteries, and other electronics.. So £25 for the build/paint. Seems a fair price? - I would expect it could have been put together in a couple of hours, if you cracked-on? There seem to be a number of EvilBay sellers who I think like building, an...

Re: HGLW loco tweak
Rik PS Very noisy mechanism, Mr Regner ..... :shock: I think some of that, may be due to the speed controller? SW (amazingly) said she liked one of the Regner centre-cab loco's which was in a member to member sale, so I was allowed to purchase it. - The fact it had been converted to battery by Graha...

Not sure if this will work? https://gardenrails.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7945 Both Chris and Mike are still around on the Forum, and this was 2013. - So I would assume any changes have been made?

Having been an Independent Newspaper Roundsman, I have looked it up:
It appears to be a quarterly publication, £9.95.
Came out in October, and goes off-sale in March..

Re: eBay madness
There seemed to be a marked rise in prices for s/h LGB towards the end of last year.. Where as I was seeing items go for perhaps £80-90 they are now going for circa £120.00. This does mean a better 'return on investment' for those I am presently holding, but finding replacements is becoming harder. ...

Re: Semi-scale BR: The Modernisation Plan
That looks rather nice! Obviously 'modern' as it has a welded tender (no rivets). I think it would look good pulling the present Caledonian sleeper stock? So, who is clever enough with PhotoShop, to put it into blue/grey, arrows of indecision livery? I only ask, as an exercise, you understand.. Anyo...

Re: Bridge 10ft span
Very nice, but it would not fit in the car. - I have actually spent a few minutes checking..
Sensibly, 'a bridge too far' unfortunately..
I even considered enquiring about a man in a van.. But only for a moment.

Re: Identifying source of loco
It does look like the two don't go together..
I wonder if the body is 'new old stock' from a closed-down supplier?
I might bring it to Stoneleigh, and see if anyone recognises it..

Re: Identifying source of loco
The body looks too good to be scratch built by the same person who built(?) the chassis/under frame?
I am wondering if it is a 'commercial' body, which has had different fixings used to try to make it more 'realistic'. - Crosshead screws on a roof look naff, to me.
