Well, at least it has made it back to B and apparently now at D which is a 10 minute walk from here:



And it will be delivered by 14:25. It's now 15:20

Quote from: EtchedPixels on December 11, 2025, 09:35:39 PMIt's a nice little loco though - I have a couple of old white metal kit ones of it.

@EtchedPixels

I am not aware that anyone made a white metal kit of an LNER J72.  Do you have any more details?

Ian

Had a dig - the kit was it seems an ABS J63 originally on a minitrix chassis and someone has converted it a bit (safety valves, no cylinders, box at front. It's a very old (and hardly fine scale) kit in either form

So apparently there was no J72 kit. My error.

Quote from: Steven B on December 12, 2025, 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.

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

It's what you use to solder electrickery wires to your train set

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.
