Hi Mac I e-mailed Bachmann at service@bachmann-europe.co.uk requesting the redesigned replacement bogie keeper-plates. They will require a copy of proof of purchase to be attached to the e-mail (receipt from Kernow in my case) and your name and address. It was all then handled in a typically Bachmann way, very efficiently and professionally. Regards Roy #72

Buckingham Branch maybe? I seem to recall it was DMU from Verney Junction to Buckingham but a separate steam service from there to Banbury until that section closed to passengers, still a stretch true, but... #73

Way too much of a stretch, Roy, unless they could have appeared on the Varsity Line in the late 50s/early 60s #74
General Discussion / Re: AI Image ManipulationLast post by LASteve - December 09, 2025, 10:06:46 PMNicely done! Which AI tool did you use? It's interesting to compare the merits/demerits of each.

Hi Roy, How did you contact Bachmann for the replacements please? Thanks Mac #76

General Discussion / Re: AI Image ManipulationLast post by icairns - December 09, 2025, 07:38:01 PMIn a possibly vain attempt to get this thread back on track, here is a photo of LNER Class J72 number 68736 that I took at Newcastle Central Station back in the winter of 1962 when I would have been nine years old.
This locomotive acted as station pilot at York before transferring to Newcastle in 1961. It has been painted in NER green and carried both the NER emblem and the BR crest. Dapol is planning to release this model in the same livery and I have already got mine on pre-order. Thanks to AI, I have been able to colourise this photo to remind me what the prototype looked like and I will probably make a print of this colour photo for my railway room. This is what I see as one of the benefits of AI. It is a pity that I did not manage to get the entire loco in the photo. Well, I was only nine! Ian P.S. I did specify that the loco be colourised in NER green but the result is possibly a little dark. But I still like it! #80
