I don't use RM Web but I've just seen on Facebook that it's a glitch solved by clearing cookies.

Has anyone else had issues trying to view RMweb today?

No, I have been on the site a couple of times today and all seems OK. You haven't been logged out have you? If you check the blue bar near the top of the screen, in it on the right hand side you should see your username, if you don't you have been logged out and will need to log in again.

47 steam, 12 diesel/dmu.
Quite a lot of rule 1s, eg Terrier, N Class, Blue Pullman, LMS 10001. SECR C Class may well be the next.
And I thought I had a lot of locos. Not so it would seem; vide supra

@AndyRA Wow, Andy :goggleeyes: I guessed you'd have a lot of locos but didn't realise you'd employed a guard cat to keep an eye on them!

He also helps to select the next Loco to run. :D  ;D

Roy:

I think the resin kit for your Class A2 Blue Peter model was probably manufactured by a company called Fifty-Six and a Half Inch Model Railways (long since out of business). 

I bought the same resin kit (but from a different supplier) but never got it past the primer stage before GF came out with their A1 and A2 models.

Hi Ian

Yes, that was it, I believe the locos were also made ready to run by a company called "Pro Models" (not sure what googling it would come up with and I do not intend to find out :D ). Mine languished in primer too for a long time but I did finish it, a loco I did a pretty decent job of if I say so myself.



The loco I am probably proudest of is B1 "Gnu", this Langley kit sits on the much better BachFarish A3 chassis, the airbrushing was done by my ex (a very capable modeller - better than me) I did the lining and lettering right down to the power classification and Route Availability which was pretty eyeball straining!



Both locos were made well before there was any prospect of either being done as a RTR model, at a time where if you wanted something that wasn't available you got on and had a go, or didn't have one! It is easy to forget just how spoiled we are for RTR models these days...

Regards

Roy

I'm getting so much flak from the blokes at the bowlo. Well, are you an Aussie or a Pommy?  >:(  ;)

I did think that a post I saw on the interweb was interesting, though.
