Great to see more progress Dave, I've been keeping an eye out for your next progress update! Your track work looks excellent, very impressive! Have you managed to make a start on the 1P's yet?

Jim,

Quite happy to talk you through the Rumney Model's back catalogue if you're making the journey to Aylesbury this weekend!

Fantastic work as always btw!

I too would like to jump on the band wagon and thank everyone involved with Scaleforum for another excellent show! I was there all weekend and thoroughly enjoyed all my time there yet feel there was still so much more I could've look at! A sign of a good show IMHO! Well done to the new team on the b...

Excellent stuff John, great to hear that the modelling mojo is still high after a busy weekend demoing and very impressed to hear you've already had the matt varnish out! Thank you for your continued efforts both here on the forum and at the demo tables, it's really useful and encouraging to view yo...

....once I've established the price to complete one of these models, I'll move on....but not before. To Dave Ignoring the bloodymindedness that's being expressed in this thread, the market price of a kit (or any other commodity) is the price at which the market demands. The kit in question sold out...

Where are those 'Like' and 'Dislike' buttons!! They could've come in very useful throughout this thread!

Pleased to see so much support aimed at the humble servants who support our hobby!

Having caught up on this thread I personally feel this discussion captures both what our hobby does incredibly well but also what we do badly. Our hobby is full of extremely talented people who are/have been more than happy to make their work available for very little remuneration. It is the efforts...

.........you won't be that busy. :D Have a great show. Mike Thanks Mike! Well I for one am absolutely cream crackered! I doubt Justin feels any different! :-P An additional coffee stop on the way back last night was very much needed!! Once again another fantastic show, if anything we felt time away...

Jol, I suggest you stay indoors and watch East Enders (or something else mundane) when Mike organises the 5" steam up, it's far too addictive if you give in to temptation and play, then you'll never get any 4mm modelling done afterwards! :D I have seen a rather nice Precursor, Cauliflower, Tuto...

I have a couple of RTR models and have also been following an interesting discussion on RMWEB in which kits v rtr were the main topic. The green Bachmann dome is part of a RTR that has had rave reviews, the black Bachmann dome has also been enthusiastically received. While I have a particular inter...

I'm afraid I'm in the camp that in the majority, RTR models are good but they're not great models. The model of 3770 as built by Tom Mallard is far superior in my eye's to anything that any RTR manufacturer has produced to date and the differences are world's apart. The RTR model as judged in the ph...

Nah, that's just the cut out for the fire hole door Ivan!!

Firstly a big thank you to Justin and the NAGNAGer's, as previously said it was a very enjoyable evening!   Terry, looking at the pic I think the purpose of the short length of rail is to maintain electrical contact across the rail joint.   Tim, I’m not entirely convinced that the photocopies are ju...

Martin, I've just had the chance to read through this thread and I must say that backscene is one of the most effective that i've seen, very impressive! The layout really is coming to life and has some wonderful character that IMHO is the most difficult part to capture on fictional locations and eve...

That looks spot on Gerry! Would be hard pressed to tell the difference between that and a kit built coach! Look forward to having a closer look at some point!

Excellent updates Tim! Are you sure Richard was concentrating in that first photo though? Looks like he just nodded off to me!

Mike,

Thanks for youre post, i'm sure the info must be out there!

Anyway, PM sent!

All, I'm sure many of you are already aware of the Bristol Barrow Road project and despite the model's infancy, recent research has turned to some of the rolling stock. The Midland coaching stock was stabled adjacent to the roundhouse and one particular train that has caught our attention is the 'Mi...
