After I saw this video a while back, I had to watch the movie again. RIP.

What the heck is that about??  

No idea, I'm just pleased you took that picture at a slight angle with the mirror being there

Likewise. Their harmonies and keyboard work always resonated with me

If you are happy with the Peco Collett and that massive tender that they hardly ever ran with, then this is ten times more reasonable

Protecting your eyes when you wake up in the middle of the night needing the loo. Just a dim light so you do not stub your toe on something solid moving from dark to bright light. Also protecting theIR reputation in case of a medical claim for damaged BID TOE!

Sorry, the sole reference I found said "late 1950s".

Quote from: port perran on Today at 05:16:34 PMAs I said, the locomotive is a good runner especially after a good run in which seemed to confirm that it had never previously been run.

Certainly if you want a Grange to run well it needs the 4000 gallon tender, which is what you have on both your models. The current Dapol 3500 gallon tender is poor at current collection (The forthcoming Manor and Mogul will of course be much better, fingers crossed).

Thank you both.

@Bob G , I believe the model to be as purchased. It belonged to a collector with no model railway so had probably never previously been run.

I'm happy for it to have the incorrect tender so I'll probably heed your advice and "deal" with that white lining.

As I said, the locomotive is a good runner especially after a good run in which seemed to confirm that it had never previously been run.

I'll post a photo of the amended livery in due course.

Quote from: Southerngooner on Today at 04:29:37 PMIf your couplings are to be used for pushing stock along make sure there is some sort of pushing bar as on the DG/B&B. Without this you will get problems when pushing round reverse curves. What works in 4mm does not always work well in N. As someone who is a long term B&B user (over 200 made and in use.....) I wish you well, but it would need to be a really good product to make me want to change!

That's a good tip and something I will be sure to test! These aren't really meant to poach DG/B&B users, hopefully they will be something that offers similar functionality to those without needing much assembly and having the convenience of NEM plugs. But they won't be as discreet overall - you can barely see DGs from what I've seen!
