  1. Don't think so. Trailers for ex-GWR twin railcars were Collett coaches - as produced by Bachmann. Some BR DMUs were strengthened with Hawksworth coaches. CJI.
  2. Perhaps reading the thread from the first post might help? Just a thought ...... 🤔 CJI.
  3. https://www.stormsure.com/flexibond-vae-emulsion-adhesive-vinyl-acetate-ethylene-500ml.html CJI.
  4. Very much in the vein of Peco interiors for Kitmaster coaches. CJI.
  5. I know that you are joking but, believe me, I don't need or particularly want transfer business. It's just that it seems to be selfish to have the ability to produce my own transfers and NOT offer them to other modellers. Others may not believe this but - look at my face - do I care!?!? 😀 John Isherwood.
  6. No mention of pick-ups yet? Electrically check each pick-up individually, and adjust each one until it gives continous conductivity through a full revolution, and at each extremity of its sideplay. CJI.
  7. Looking immediately in front of the tram - the roadway has been ripped up and the gauge bars are exposed below the surface. This is not just a one-off use of a little-used curve - something else has / is occurred / is occuring. CJI.
  8. I used the prototype image / waterslide technique for my Kitmaster Midland Pullman build - upholstery, carpets, end panel murals, the lot. You have to squint to tell, though! CJI.
  9. As to numbering, my records have : - CCT(E) (GER ILFORD STOCK U-F) Nos.E71035-99E, SOME FOR ANGLO-SCOTTISH CAR CARRIER CCT(E) (LNER ILFORD STOCK U-F) Nos.E71000-34E, SOME FOR ANGLO-SCOTTISH CAR CARRIER PMV (GER ILFORD STOCK U-F) Nos.E6001-23, E6025-81E CCT(E) (Ex LNER U-F) Nos.E96200E - E96203E, PREVIOUSLY E889030E - E889033 (BR NPCS Diagram 817) John Isherwood.
  10. BR PMV (LNER DIA 53E LNER ILFORD STOCK U-F) Copyright shown where known - please respect. John Isherwood.
  11. BR GUV (LNER LOT 1224) Copyright shown where known - please respect. John Isherwood.
  12. BR CCT (LNER ILFORD STOCK U-F) Copyright shown where known - please respect. John Isherwood.
  13. I have this of BR Diagram 817; whether there were similar conversion diagrams for the other variants, I cannot say. E96202E (PRESERVED AT GCR) I have a higher resolution image of the drawing - email me at cctrans@hotmail.com is required. John Isherwood.
  14. Read my post above; it would be pretty pointless if it did NOT mention who I am. CJI.
  15. Having done that degree of research, perhaps you can break that down between those that mention CCT, and those that don't? You will find that the vast majority do not, and where they do - it is in usually in connection with the thread subject. Very occasionally, I will mention a new sheet which has been prepared in connection with another supplier's kit, which has previously been mentioned. As I have frequently said, I do NOT chase additional business or rely on the modest income, but I do try to provide products that will make life easier for fellow modellers. That is not direct advertising in my book. John Isherwood.
  16. ...... but is capable of being 'got at' to produce respectable models of the prototype - I even managed to produce both lagged and unlagged versions. CJI.
  17. For a small supplier such as myself, I find that word-of-mouth is the most effective way of publicising a quality product. In 25 years of running Cambridge Custom Transfers, I have never published an advertisement or attended a show as a trader - yet reputation sells all the product that I wish to handle at age 75! John Isherwood, Cambridge Custom Transfers.
  18. There was a pier, and the S&DJR operated steamers across the Bristol Channel to Wales. https://images.app.goo.gl/wVHKQpkTXgRpATgT9 CJI.
  19. Ah-ha - there were two designs of CONFLAT B - the later, longer ones were converted from FLAT EDs! (Mentioned in Paul's photo caption). I have modelled both. CJI.
  20. Whoa! Look at that asbestos blanket flapping in the breeze! CJI.
  21. The rails shown in the OP are narrow gauge, though; parallel to, and descending to, the beach. CJI.
  22. You are correct !! I was not seeing the below-bufferbeam fairing as it is freshly painted black; when dirty, it's much more apparent. CJI.
  23. Now - I am usually opposed to 'what if' liveries. However, imagine this in Electric Blue, with off-white window surrounds and cast BR emblems! (Perhaps route indicator panels, too)? If only E2001 had lasted rather longer! CJI.
  24. Mine arrived today, too - runs very nicely; extremely pleased! CJI.
