Very nice! Are you going to get some carriages to go with the locos? What are the lifting bars passing through the locos made from, is there a hollow metal bar in the centre of them?

Engineering; Its all STRESS and not just Force over Area!

thanks guys for the comments,

Martin I first tested some styrene,the biggest space was only about 4 or 5 mm and the styrene was flexing too much,so a quick spin down to Marks Models and picked up some brass box section and copper tube,cut the tube slide it into the box and glue it in place,

Mark divorces are expensive,maybe get it like a mortgage,a relatively small amount over 30-35yrs
I just got word that MTH's O scale Norfolk Southern freight set is in and ready to ship

Dain I should hopefully have the engine running soon,I can't wait,been drooling over youtube clips for weeks now

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Hi all,well I haven't posted much new stuff here in a while,partly becuse I have no new stuff lol,and problems with my camera,my McCoy 666 arrived and that is one sweet model,so sweet I have a Standard 666 on the way too

So here is now my latest aquisition,knowing the McNallys ac500 had been shipped,can you picture the relief on my face when this arrived!!!!!! lol





All fitted out with 2 rail scale wheels and Kadee couplers,hauling a load and cradle I made a few months back


Sorry for the pic quality these were recovered from my phone as I'm having issues with my camera

Hi guys,its been a long time since I bought or made or painted anything model related,I think the last few aditions were O scale related items,until now,or well last thursday,I had the goo on me for a while for the Mediaco LTM11200,as I have the Sarens version,and the Mediaco is kinda cross dressed as the Sarens now,

I had it out of the box on Thursday gone just for a damage inspection,I noticed one or two parts that had suffered damage,also this model had been previously owned I suspect,as the plastic strapping and some foam was missing,so anyone out there who returned a Mediaco 112 to DMB I now have your baby

I do like this Livery alot,very smart looking and a change from the solid blue,yellow and any other versions or livery,this will be my 2nd last 112,Big Hamish will top off my 112 spending this summer,with all my future funds going on towards the AC1000 thats if Felbermayr don't go and buy a 112 between now and then

so without further-a-do some basic roading(legal in my house anyway ) snaps,this window sil seems to be a popular rest spot for all manner of cranes and HH

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts

Does look a nice model. Not sure if I want to add this one or not yet.

Did you get yours from Ricky?

I have to think that Thomen can't be too far away either? I would also like the van der Tol at some point I think.

Paul R

I can see a Schnabel set coming to that window sill(I mean rail yard,... I mean major highway,............ I mean photo studio.. ) niiice.

Hahaha thanks Ray,god am I glad there isn't a big feckin "BUY" or "ADD TO CART" button on that page lol,I managed to get back off the page without spending a penny lol,

Dain a depressed flat car or a few depressed flat cars would be sweet!!! but my knowledge of what the model railroad companies have produced in the past is 0, I think MTH may have done one,but not sure if it was a premier one,I may have to put a normal flat car in the microwave for 5 mins on full power

Gary its all about being in the right place at the right time lol,whenever I know I'm going to be walking past that window sill I always make sure I have my camera with me,never know what you'll see
