Four coaches? behind a deltic - err NO! The Deltic was front-line express passenger power on the East Coast Mail Line (ECML). A protoypical load would be 10-12 coaches. They were the flagships until what we call the IC225 came along when the ECML electrified. In that scheme Mark 1s would be...

American Train Show??? Never heard of that! There is quite a good book on the Eurotunnel operations out (has been out at least four or so years). Its about the same size as landscape A4 but i forget what the title is now. I know there is a copy in my local library. I should have a small book...

LOL, you can have one of the business cars named after you if you want! :D (not that i have two or three or anything! :eek: )

i am assuming you mean the N gauage version - i have the A-B set and have been very pleased with them, one of them the motor isnt sat totally square so it binds every so often but they are decently powerful and are fairly quiet (although not as quiet as another club members Kato F3 A-B-A set)...

if you mean that the cars with the loading platforms are lowered this is because the cars actually have a set of crane-like jack arms which come out when the car loading ramps are lowere to support the car and prevent it from rocking as cars and buses are loaded onto the train. The jacks are...

Oh most of mine so far are based around the old athearn heavyweight shorties with the corridor connections cut off and a pair of PE porthole style "windows" drilled into the ends on either side of the gangway. Just after something to look a bit different to this fleet!

wheres a good place to get cab fronts for interurbans? got a few PE "blimp" stlye cars made from some athearn shorty heavyweights but i want to build some other cars now!

it was a heavy banker AFAIK

ermm, my MSTS effectively takes up the entirety of my second (older) pc as ive just gone mad and brought just about every add-on. We got two versions of MSTS over here - the original and the second one which had more locomotives and rolling stock on it. Think it had a few more routes too.

humm, thanks, was really after an L1 but cant really justify a brass locomotive plus i dont really want a brass enigne because i know i would damage it. Could always bash it out of a couple of non-articulated normal camelbacks with a similar bioler size and drop them onto a suitable mallet...

Anyone know if a model is availble of the Erie RR 0-8-8-0 camelback mallets? after one as the motive power for the non-traction line on my layout. Any help appreciated!

lol, not on them BRASS! means it would not even be worth me bidding for them because it would be horrendously expensive to import (that and i only started my new job last week and i havent been paid yet!)

yeah i noticed Miami trains do international postage. and ive started work on an articulated based on that article using my spare B-unit and spare Athearn A-unit chassis and some parts from my bachmann SD45 chassis!

then its not the lastest spectrum one. I have a F40PH at home and that has a DCC plug mounted on the top and was easy to fit the decoder to. I would suggest that maybe you could find the new Spectrum chassis or even a new Spectrum F40PH, i belive a few places sell them for around $45, although i...

but you sure you didnt mean the D&RGW had one of these? http://www.ironhorse129.com/prototype/MasonBogie/Graphics/Mason_Janus.JPG Its a completely different type of engine known as a Fairlie. On these the coupled axles act in the same way as a diesel engines trucks whilst the locmotive has a...

something like so? http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/freddie/ and a shay bolier would be WAY too small! the whole point of the Garrat was to carry as much of the weight as possible over the diving axles, spreading the weight as much as possible for lines which could only take light axle...

thats not all of them though, theres also a couple of OO ones if you want a VERY big and impressive engine and a few OO9/HOm engines which are based on SAR and similar prototypes

there are also some other manufacturers offering the garratts, namely Backwoods Minatures (that i can remember off the top of my head) The DJH ones are based on British prototpes from the LMS and LNER as well as a small industiral engine.

yeah thats the one i am trying to find, so far i havent had any luck with finding them. hopefully i will find it eventually.

where did you manage to get your EP4 from Pete? i cant find anywhere that sells them here in the UK
