theplasticsurgeon Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Evening Star was built for Unarmed GB. I bought Dapol Stephenson's Rocket at the weekend - I'm in. And a colleague today, asked me to build a mighty Deltic for him. Could go either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul821 Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Thanks to everyone who has signed up to date just a few more to go. There is a wide range of models out there that are eligible for the GB from buildings through to rolling stock and armoured vehicles - not mention a complete layout.

Hi Paul I know Airfix did a range of buildings as part of their railway stuff, would things like the "Country Inn" be admissible ? Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp Donkey Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Right, no if’s, no but’s, this needs to get through the vote!! I just took delivery of this bad boy, thankfully Mrs SD is out. It gives me all the motivation I could ever need to build Newcastle Central Station. Of course, where it goes is a problem to be solved as and when the GB happens SD (who hasn’t touched a model railway for over 30 years) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I thought that I had put my name forward for this GB, perhaps with a 3D printed model. Could you add my name please Paul? cheers, Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the 80x sets have not yet with much love, but this is definitely the most handsome livery to grace Britain's rails since Great Western went to dark green a few years ago. 8 hours ago, Swamp Donkey said: Right, no if’s, no but’s, this needs to get through the vote!!

Mjwomack Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 If @Swamp Donkey goes ahead and builds Newcastle and @bootneck keeps chipping away at Birmingham then my thoughts of a country goods shed are going to look rather puny. I've always fancied one of these https://slatersplastikard.com/linePage.php?suffix=JPG&code=7032 Apparently it's not the 'best' of kits and the wrong scale for me but that's easy because my model railway club have just built an O gauge layout so I'd have 'running rights' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting rave reviews so you're certainly back to model railways in style. Just got to buy all the extension sets for the carriages (and hope the yen takes a tumble) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I've just drawn and printed my first loco wheel. It is scaled at 2mm/N Gauge It's just a practice, sort of a proof of concept that I could actually do it. The spokes will need to be thickened up, I didn't realise how thin I had made them; looks like a bicycle wheel! If the GB gets the go ahead then I can work on this, plus the rest of the locomotive as part of GB. cheers, Mike 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianfuxia Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Well, I've been busy stockpiling model buildings for my Japanese-themed N scale set-up, so if that's "in" then I will sign up to get you across the line. I have a few station structures I need to build so my train has somewhere to stop... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby No Mac Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I choo-choose to sign up 🚂 The urge to build a Dapol loco is strong but I remember how they were showing their age when I built a few in the 90s, dread to think what the moulds are like these days... I'd definitely be up for doing a building at least. I presume the Faller HO range would be permissible if anyone fancied going all ooh-la-la continental? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Railway modelling is a dusty, far corner of my modelling loft. Best I do something about that then. I'm in. No idea what with, but I'm in. Tony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Well I’ve been sloping around the internet for the last few weeks and have found a Morser Karl with railway bogies and a Leopold both 1/72, Hasegawa and around €40 including postage. I’m leaning towards the Karl, but might get a Leopold too, my dad bought one cheap when I was a kid ( missing a few parts but nothing major) and I always wanted to build it, it was sat in the attic for years so a year or two I asked him if I could have it only to find out that my elder brother had cleaned out said same attic and it was gone🤬Hence the Leopold would be great for the AKYDBAAK( or whatever the acronym should be) GB of it were to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Well yes I’d love the 1/35 kits but they’re more money than I’d ever pay for a single kit ( yes I know) and I don’t think they’d fit in my ikea bookcase I’d be more than happy with 1:72. Might even spurt me in to building that K wagon I’ve been threatening for years now Edited September 21, 2021 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The type that laid waste to Sevastopol. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_gun https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwerer_Gustav https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armoured_train Edited September 22, 2021 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me thanks Surprisingly there are many many train related subjects with guns. Rail guns like the Leopold. Rail transported guns like the Morser Karl, armoured trains, flat wagons used to transport tanks particularly during WWII and finally many different armoured cars like the p204(f) that were fitted with railway car wheels to be able to drive in railway lines.
