N Gauge Discussion / Re: Stanier Suburbans from Dap...

Quote from: Steven B on Yesterday at 10:59:50 AMI've yet to find any photos of Pull and Push trains with more than three carriages, which given that the system was vacuum based would suggest that's the physical limit of the system (just like the GWR was limited to two vehicles because of the mechanical linkage).

The GWR was limited to four coaches not two as you could run the mechanical linkages in both directions. That was a standard configuration for some of the Plymouth suburban services.

Not sure how "loco in the middle" worked for the LMS system or if it was even possible.

Quote from: tunneroner61 on August 07, 2020, 09:28:07 PMAs a (G)WR fan I find that some of the attitudes expressed in this thread very negative. As N gauge modelers we should welcome all manufacturers initiatives to bring new models to market not deride them because of a livery issue or not our interest area. These models may not be what interests you but I would whole heartedly support the efforts made to bring  to market previously unlikely models. We all want N gauge to develop so please give support where required.

There seems to be a lot of "naysayers" and negativity in general on forums these days.
Besides that the GWR isn't a popular choice anymore, far too many Western branch lines model railways have been made over the years.

I would buy one and in GWR flavour.

Quote from: Yet_Another on Yesterday at 10:16:33 PMThe instructions do cover it. You are supposed to iron them before use.

What's an iron, please? Is it a golf club thingy?

A bit like locos really. You can get electric ones and old fashioned coal ones, and they can be dry or steam. Surprised you didn't know.

I had a pic of my Kawasaki and just gave the instruction "Set the motorcycle in a country winter scene" and got a pretty decent response from Google Gemini. Then opened it with 'Paint' and set a textbox to create a seasonal card for the Club forum. Pretty pleased with it.

Quote from: madchadbrad on Yesterday at 08:06:57 PMAny evidence that a "non-driving" BT might have been through fitted for push-pull?
Certainly none built motor fitted, and none listed in the known conversions.
I can't see there would be a need for non-driving brakes - The driving trailers were all brakes, and they weren't intended for routes with high demand for luggage space needing a second van in a two/coach train.

On a slightly different tack, I wonder at the sense of sending out free folded backscenes with an issue, as I don't know anyone who would want a backscene with regularly spaced creases in it ???
