Model Forum / General / Railroads / May 2010

Found an old (1960s) Campbell Produce Shed kit on Ebay about a year
ago and finally got around to building it for the layout. The
prototype existed in Yorba Linda California for many years, and since

Wow - it's under 100 pages.  I can't recall any MR being that short
for quite a while [although I have not looked at back issues for
specifics].  I hope that's not a sign that the hobby's advertising
revenue is drying up.

Last week I had modified an old Hornby R410 turntable for use on
DCC.   Happy with my plans I took my walkabout select unit and
connected up to the table and a section of track to test; Result =
excellent!  Now I can get on and hack and slash to my hearts content.

A friend wants to paint a boxcar for the Cadiz Railroad. The color is

The lead car took 30 mins to provide a good working unit. Then the
trouble started!

In the April edition of Hornby Magazine was a leaflet detailing an
offer for a model of a Corgi RTW 1/76 scale bus for £1.99 with free
P&P Atlas Editions.
Has anyone who also applied got theirs yet ?

Whilst at the Mickleover show I noticed a loco I had never seen on a
layout ( or in real life ) a Sentinel Shunter, almost as wide as they
were long.
Able to push / pull a coule of waggons.

I recently bought a tidy little Thomas model to act as life support
for my J83.  When it arrived I cleaned it up and ran it on the DC test
track.
My wife walked in and had a conversation and then went about her
