Scalefour Forum

2019 Scaleforum is the last to be organized by Terry Bendall. Terry has successfully organized ten Scaleforums, firstly at Leatherhead and then at Stoke Mandeville. I hope you agree that we all owe Terry our thanks. If you would like to express your gratitude in words then a ‘Thank You’ book will be...

Great Bill

One set with 2mm axles as discussed please.

See you at Scaleforum.

Many thanks

Steve

I've ordered my ticket for the show. Normally I get offered a QR ticket to print. I must have missed the option to do that this year. I assume I can bring along my receipt or is there a way of accessing the QR? Hi Andy Near the top of your ticket confirmation email is a link to click to print the t...

Yes, but of course, P4 will never work... ;) Steve But of course we know it works so that's all that matters. I've built a fair few P4 locos for people, locos like Royal Scots and WD 2-10-0s down to little 0-4-0s and as far as I know they are still working. There will always be people who poo,poo, ...

Made to order P4 wheels, an exciting prospect

The AJ Coupling dropper looks interesting Dave.

As you will have read in Scalefour News 213, the Society has recently been left a sizeable collection of models, tools and materials in the will of a deceased member. Much of it will be offered for sale through the Bring and Buy stand at Scaleforum 2019. There are, though, some particular items - tw...

Looking forward to another great Scalefour Southwest (Railwells) this weekend.

If you are visiting then drop by at the Society Stand and say “hello”.

I won’t bite, honestly

Hi Ben

Have you considered contacting Kernow Model Rail Centre to see if they do spare parts from their LSWR Gate Stock?

Good luck

This is a genuine request from a non-member, Colin, who is involved in a group of 4mm modellers working in various gauges (see https://www.bloodandcustard.net/). The person contacted me to ask if I knew anyone who could build coaches for them. As a result of a very friendly conversation, I suggested...

All the right way up on my iPad Martin.
Thank you very much.
Steve

The photos originally posted by Martin were the right way up on my iPad but the reposts by Alan are upside down!
What’s going on?

I’ve received an enquiry from a past member asking if there is an active 4mm Narrow Gauge Study Group within the Society.
So, if there is, or you are interested in resurrecting it, then please let me know.
Many thanks
Steve

I have been asked by Colin’s brother, Barry, to post the following message on his and Colin’s family’s behalf thanking people for their tributes to his brother. “Thank you to all those who have added their kind words. Colin's family knew that ultimately he would lose his battle, but we did not expec...

Very sad news indeed.

My condolences to Colins family and friends.

Colin joined the Scalefour Society in 1979 and was a very active contributor on this Forum. I am sure we have all been enriched by his involvement in our hobby.

Rest in Peace.

Hi Dave, Ralph flagged this thread up to me. I've dug through the drawings I've not had chance to action yet and have found Ralph's for the track jig, so will see what I can produce with it. Hopefully I may get something done over the weekend but producing sleepers for Jeremy will have to take prio...

Thanks for the responses Rod and Noel.

Making more sense now.

I’ve corrected the 1954 dates, should have been 3/12/54 - 22/12/54, my typo!

According to the records I’ve found so far, this loco had Tender No. 3071 from new.

Steve

Does anyone have a copy of the book published by Irwell Press entitled “The book of the SOUTHERN MOGULS, Part One: N, N1 classes” by Ian Sixsmith & Richard Derry? The works history for each loco is listed and I have obtained some details for an N class, 31405. However, the works information cont...

Having said that, the colour of daylight varies a fair bit. In summer it is much yellower than in winter. Maybe Burford basks in perpetual summer sunshine? Ah, then you may need to add some more shadows, depending on the time of day of course ;) Looking really good Martin. If you happy with the lig...

Thanks Tim, I do have that anyway, it's where I got the measurements form. I did look at the St Merryn layout and they have a Bullied in Blood and Custard without the top strips and crimson {images below}.
