South Wessex Main Line

@FirstGW_00 Black bit is on the to do list. I've got spare ones so I can swap between grey and black if required. I think they only went black as they were prepped for repaint in to v1 SWT swoosh. I did a 159001 with black ones and radio pods using the old tooling model.

@SWMainLine Hmmm, not a huge fan of their transfers but it's better than nothing! Have you repainted the front of yours? Had a black lower front.

The next project is starting soon, any ideas where I can find these logos? Unfortunately, it doesn't look like railtec does them!

@FirstGW_00 Use the contact me thing on his site with what you need and he'll msg back with the price.

@SWMainLine Can't find them on his site either!

@availble2hire @FirstGW_00 That's outrageous! It's almost Hornby prices! 😂😂😂

@FirstGW_00 Got to say I do like that but £500 odd for sound fitted and four coaches 🤔

OH. MY.

@FirstGW_00 @southernmafia1 Discount on getting the Pink 31 with the Fragonset one too. The credit card is taking a big hit!

@FirstGW_00 @southernmafia1 10% off individual, 15% off all four. It was at the bottom of the description.

@FirstGW_00 @southernmafia1 Lovely. Thanks for being the guinea pig 😁

@SWMainLine @southernmafia1 Looks like it did it all at the end on mine...

@southernmafia1 @FirstGW_00 Haven't seen the 15% off bundle for all coaches yet or is that automatic at checkout?

@SWMainLine @FirstGW_00 Are we all getting a set then? 🤣

@SilentHill4mm @hornby Have fun with the leading bogie with it's guards, shoebeam and steps. They were a pain in the backside to change round.

A couple of days off work has meant I've got on with some projects that have been dragging in. One of these, is sorting out @hornby VEP first class partition, and spinning the bogies around.

Wouldn't be Christmas without a Rail Replacement Bus Service! Those guys in orange should really be working on putting a fence up between the pavement and the track!! #TMRGUK #AmptonCentral

This place is becoming more and more unusable each day. Too many ads, bots and politics. I only joined for the model railway community which seems to be migrating elsewhere. Find me on other sites for more regular updates. #TMRGUK

@OldBuzzard59 I think one may be a bit late coming to Scotland!

@OldBuzzard59 Far too large for any CalMac port and with a unique triple deck loading arrangement for the vehicle decks.

@ViewParkside Oh I saw that. Already got an SWT one.

@SWMainLine It's sold now, new DCC fitted bachmann SWT was offered to me on eBay for £225 plus postage

So who is it doing up to 50% off the CEP? Only place I've seen is TMC with 40% off RRP but not in stock #TMRGUK.

@ViewParkside Any hint as to where?

@SWMainLine I've found a dirt cheap CEP but gotta sell the 37 first

@southernmafia1 Oooh good news about the bodies. Seeing what price my local shop can do for an NSE one if they are allowed any stock.

@SWMainLine Kernow dropped it to £350 but still not as good as TMC who had 1 in stock for ages. Bodies due in January according to Bachmann spares

The final scenic board having it's platforms test fit and a 165 testing clearances. Should be able to start on the station footbridge and the backscene soon. #AmptonCentral #TMRGUK

@MillsyModels @SilentHill4mm @FirstGW_00 I'm losing track of all these Making Tracks, what's 4 meant to be?

@SilentHill4mm @FirstGW_00 I think you might be on about Making Tracks 3 which was the ~250ft one (I think) I agree with @SilentHill4mm in that if it the electric were more reliable it would be mega. I also believe the fact it’s always 3 people deep doesn’t help the experience, you only get to see a snip.

Unpopular opinion? I don't rate "Making tracks 4" at all, barely ran, trains stranded in the middle of nowhere not moving etc...
