Pre 1948, mainly an assortment of pre-grouping design tank locos (currently nothing available RTR). Post-war the Ivatt 2MT tank is common and a small batch of Jinties confined to South Wales. Thanks for the explanation Craig #12

Maybe there is scope for one of the 3D printers to produce a resin body for the Stanier 0-4-4T to fit the Dapol M7 chassis, I know its been done in 4mm scale. Ian #13

Pre 1948, mainly an assortment of pre-grouping design tank locos (currently nothing available RTR). Post-war the Ivatt 2MT tank is common and a small batch of Jinties confined to South Wales. Not compatible with locos of any other region: GW used a mechanical linkage, NE was a different air pressure system. SR technically matching but IIRC, hoses wouldn't connect. Could of course be used as ordinary coaching stock with any loco with compatible Vac Brakes... The carriage was not fitted with a motor (not self propelled) - the term "motor train" was one of several descriptions applied to the formation as a whole of Loco+intermediate coaches (with necessary pipework)+Driving/Control coach. #14

Very unusually, there was a Co-op pub in Harwich where you could have a pint and a packet of ciggies, and get divi. Pub still there, but renamed and long sold off by Co-op. Martyn #19

N Gauge Discussion / Re: Proses Nelevator equivalen...Last post by ten0G - Today at 02:43:30 PM Has anybody further knowledge/experience regards this item please? It seems a good idea. Having looked at several sets of specifications, there are various platform lengths given but nowhere can I see the platform width. It seems to only be available in kit form which may be a bit of a challenge for more elderly customers like me, and I wonder how easy it would be to maintain/repair once assembled. | Please Support Us!
