RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted September 5 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 5 I still can't get over being called a Hornby hater last week, so from the archives I've found these photos.

I checked mine this morning and ended up only paying £10 for a lovely Maroon Syphon, as I had £48 credit! Good job I bothered. ATB all.

May be worth enquiring of the security forces what fate beholds removed panniers.

If anything, you've been a Hornby improver by painting those clerestories wartime brown. By that era there's a good chance of the panelling having been plated over. Forty years on I still remember being rather disappointed with them and thinking Hornby had missed an opportunity by cheaping out on the panelling and decided I'd stick with the Triang version from ten years before I was born. I'd have battered my pocket money to buy a set otherwise. I've often thought it might be an easy win for Hornby to revisit their clerestory carriages and redesign them with the panels moulded in. 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it , Ratio were about to start tooling for GWR clerestories, when they got wind that Hornby were bringing out their own clerestory coaches . So Ratio abandoned their plans . I’ve never understood why Hornby went for plain but printed sides ( all visible ) but incorporated buffers springs ( invisible). Especially when they did such a good job with the shorty but panelled Triang ones . That said , I have several long Hornby clerestories, some repainted in plain brown and some with etched brass sides . 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

County of Yorkshire Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I see Pendon have announced some scenic modelling courses in November. However, they sold out very quickly and I couldn’t get a place in time ☹️. Has anyone been on one? Would you recommend it? Cheers. CoY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoY Very highly recommended, I did the course a few years back and really enjoyed it. you get a chance to view the vale scene without the glass up as well as a bonus. I still have the diorama I built on the course (slightly modified) as a scenic plank for photographing models on. I am hoping the weathering courses also return (and the tree making one) 1 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

County of Yorkshire Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I cannot believe that the business case for the T3 (20 built, out of service by 1945) stacks up, but the one for a GWR Saint (77 built, out of service by 1953) evidently does not. Hmm. Maybe Southern modellers do have the most spending power in the OO market! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this means that we get some LSWR Corridors to chuck behind it 🤔 Edited September 8 by Tim Dubya jibbajabba 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
