Just got this from Buffers on line Limited edition No 287 of 504



DCC fitted and all for £79.99

Runs really sweetly
 

I hate this thread! Just saw your post, liked what I saw and have just gone and ordered one  . (Note to self - find where willpower went to, must be around here somewhere). Please do not post any similar items  .

Whilst attending the Redhill show with the Berkshire group, I had a wander round the rest of the show and couldn't resist this,



I oiled and tested then ran it in on the club's modular layout, then packed it away as it is for my 60th birthday next month (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)
I was later told that someone was selling a couple of Pullman liveried class 73's cheap, and hurried across to see if it was true, and the result was this:



I have long wanted one of these to go with the green one I already have, the only job that needed to be done was to swap the buckeyes the previous owner had fitted for standard Arnold style couplings - a job that tests your patience for sure!

Regards,

Alex

I have accidently purchased some more rolling stock
one was a pre-order from the liverpudlians and the other was a fleabuy purchase

As a random aside, does anyone know much Prototype info about the BC wagons, I can't seem to find much about when they were used apart from Ehattons suggests post-privatisation? I understand the CorgoWaggon liveried versions can apply all the way back to the 1980s?

Like you, I accidentally purchased a few items this weekend too

[daveg]

Lucky accidents guys!

Jealous of Hailstones 73s. I'm still waiting for mine (Alex Royal Pullman) from GM where the delivery date stretches out further every time you ask.

Arrived yesterday. this train has been all over the world! Born in Leicestershire and bought in Perth Australia. Now in Lincolnshire

£41 +pnp of £10. Reasonable I thought. Just hope it works
Please excuse the appalling scene. The 'dries clear' water has dried white. Joy. Time to start again

Certainly looks nice. Regarding your 'white' water - why not have a couple of derailed milk tankers up stream?

[MrDobilina]

The clearwater will have sucked the pva out of your layout!!

Ah with the exception that I have used no pva as yet the water goes down white and it says on the bottle dries clear. Who knows :/ just a shame to have to start again.

[MrDobilina]

What did you stick your scatter down with?  Is this a plywood base (untreated?) if it is maybe its reacted with the glue they use to fuse the layers together?

It's mdf as I just used a couple old cd shelves that I didn't need any more.

I may have accidentaly used ballast magic to stick scatter down with (wasn't really paying attention to the bottle I picked up) seems to have worked but not overly well hah

D1005 Eastern Venturer returns to Japan after an intercontinental trip to DCC Supplies to have the smoke put back in its electrical gubbins.

[Bealman]

Minus a front coupling, it would seem. 

[railsquid]

Couplings are still in one of the little baggies.

Received another of my pre-orders. An incredible rendition of the rebuilt Royal Scot 6100 in LMS Crimson. it is beautiful, I bought a dapol a4 a year ago and it really doesn't like my layout, despite relaying the track it struggles with the second radio curves, I am crossing many things in hope this doesn't suffer a similar fate. it looks superb though. I don't know how much i will be rule 1-ing but I want it to be a preserved loco doing tours in my sectorisation/br blue layout... anyway, here she is.

No wonder it was love at first sight. That is one very, very nice model.

What a beauty
