Thank you so much 😀

It was a classic case of reading the instructions and totally misinterpreting what they said lol. I did figure it out yes, eventually :) I no longer own that truck but I might buy another in due course. It did not get used too much so I never encountered the shaking screws issue. Many thanks for your helpful comment.

Many thanks for viewing and taking the time to comment. I like my test track as I often work on N and 00 models. However, one point I did not cover very well in the video is a rolling road is especially suited to running in new items

Many thanks. My Ebay link below. I tend to post up new items every Sunday, from around 10AM UK time

Many thanks for your kind words. Sales have not progressed quickly due to my health issue more than anything. I took a long term view as well when I purchased that collection because it was a collection of bits rather than a "ready to go" model railway :)

It is all OK Anthony. I didn't advertise my fall until this video. Sadly my friend, at a a certain age one does not simply bounce straight back up. Love to you and Joyce x

Cheers Danny. IT will all get moved on eventually and it was never a money making exercise. It could have been moved on a bit faster if I hadn't fallen over lol

Too true my friend. It will sell in it's own good time. I always viewed it as a longer term project rather than quick sales and profits :)

Correct! :( I will sort it asap my friend

We all end up with too much stuff my friend. There must be a Magpie DNA in all scale modelers that makes them think "I need to buy more" lol

@@StBlazeyModelWorld Much of what I am selling on has been superseded by a wider range of models becoming available enabling greater focus on the model's era and location. There are a few instances of much improved models too (such as the Terrier). Then (as you quite rightly point out), there is always the 'Magpie' effect..... 🙂

Making payloads is, as you rightly say, quite easy to do. I am slightly surprised that more scale model makers do not make their own and tend to pre-built stock items.

Many thanks for your kind words. It remains, and possibly always will, one of the great frustrations for those of us who run scale model railways :)

Indeed it is nice my friend. Currently a non-runner but it will get DCC and that is probably the only piece staying with me from the collection I recently purchased. Take care mate, hopefully catch on you Andy's live tomorrow

I think it is important that you clarify evefry single detail about what is on offer before proceeding but, as you say, lesson learned. We all go through it, no shame in that at all my friend

Many thanks for viewing and commenting. As I have said before, this deal was slightly different but you are right. It can be very tempting when you see a whole load of stuff that you can scoop up in one go. Wise words to the buyer are in your comment, thank you !

@@StBlazeyModelWorld I'm facing a similar issue, for whilst all the stock I have is correct for my modelling area and period there is just far to much of it!

@@ewhurstgreen Off load my friend. I am about to. SABLE = Stuff acquired beyond life expectancy

@@StBlazeyModelWorld Hah - SABLE - like it! 😆 Much of what I acquired has become surplus though a greater choice of models being released - for example who would ever of believed ex.LSWR Plymouth-area Gate Stock would have been produced let alone the choice of Bulleid or Maunsell coaches. A friend has been expanding his stock whilst selling off older models that now appear outdated. Do like the GWR Railmotor and Toplight stock - fortunately they do come to visit!

It is ok to be into more than one thing or another. Taking time is what matters. Build to the absolute best of your ability. Even bus stations had news agents stands, vending machines, bus stops, people. These are normally in kit form. We can get there, sharing our time and knowledge

There are two videos currently in production so stayed tuned :)

Many thanks Charlie....I fell into the SABLE trap :)

Haven't we all !

Hello and thank you for your question. I am unsure about the RMA range in detail, I do not own one myself. I did just have a quick look at it on the web. It looks like tricky thing to recreate however if the model is going to be in bits I might try using part of a large size paperclip in some way. Regarding your project, did you mean the BEA livery? If so that model is available as 36201, link here from Modelzone: www.modelbuszone. .uk/efe/dd/156/36201.html If I can help further please do not hesitate to get in touch

@@StBlazeyModelWorldthanks for your reply. I didn’t think of a paper clip but that could work really well. The model I have is actually 36202 but I plan on making it the same colours as 36201 as quite frankly I barely see them for sale. This could also give me the chance to make other changes to the model like a more detailed interior as I’d like to add luggage racks like the real things. Thanks

@@theaverageteleporter7435 I wish you all the best with your project my friend. Please know how it turns out, kInd regards, Roger

Hi Danny, deffo not too late mate. The first batch of items will be live this Sunday ahead :)

I always did, like many of us, thinking I need this or I'll use that....nah....time to let go :)

@@StBlazeyModelWorld It can be a tough decision to make but arguably better to excell on one specific area of modelling rather than risk mediocraty across many areas. I'm sure you'll soon feel more focussed....

That is good to knew and thank you for that helpful advice for my viewers. I do use tracksetta i combinations to make transitional curves as I think I illustrated in the video...I made the video ages ago and I'm too old now to remember :) Many thanks for your viewing time and helpful advice and comments my friend

Many thanks Peter. This video was an advert but also not...I have too much....my health, family, friends, youtube friends....it is all worth far more

Many thanks my good friend. There will only be one item there right now. I'm creating the first batch of listings over the next few days to go live this Sunday. It is not hard at all....I have too much stuff. I am not religious in anyway but I am blessed but I have become too greedy for items I will never use. Better they go to good homes and those who want or need them. I have still a degree of health, a partner who loves me, she really does and children and grand children. As you know mate, we lost one. So why hold all these trappings? To prove what? Share what we have and I'll probably even just give some stuff away.

Hopefully something there you will like....this will take weeks but I have too much

@@StBlazeyModelWorld No doubt there will be ..!,but looking forward to ya sale...!,,I understand it will take you a few weeks to organise 👍👍👍

working now

@@newlynnrailway Many thanks

I can well believe those prices. I acquired this one through Ebay and made the offer which, happily, was accepted.

Dead right. I cannot even remember the last time I saw one :)

Firstly, thank you for your viewing time and leaving a comment/question. Sunstar do make great stuff in 1:24. However, it is documented that some of their tampo printing in some of their more ambitious projects (Like the Littlewoods RM) had issues. Buy direct if you can, ie, when you can examine the product. If buying off Ebay examine all pictures of the item in question. Check for the inclusion of indicators, mirrors and in many cases platform pole. These were fitted to models upon dispatch. The certificate is kind of useless but if you want it ensure it is included. Above all, don't be afraid to ask the seller questions and if you have any doubts...walk away. Another will come :) Bus events where stalls are at or even boot fairs etc are the best way to go. Don't get mislead on prices either mate. Often an advert will headline with " Ultra rare"....maybe yes, maybe no, hold the nerve and wait like I did for the item in my video. I hope that helps my friend

@@StBlazeyModelWorldThanks for the tips

It makes a change from all te Sunstar stuff, not that there is anything wrong with the. Many thanks for viewing and commenting

Thank you for comment. Chiswick was a great place to visit. I was lucky enough to be there a lot. Large scale models certainly have a place in a collection, providing one has the space for them. Hearing about gas fired locos reminded me of the Mamod steam stuff, powered by a tray of burning meths to boil the water. What could possibly go wrong? :)

Many thanks :)

Many thanks my friend. To me at least, well worth a long wait

ok so...N gauge= 1.48th...2mm to the foot, 176 ...4 mm to the foot, more commonly known as 00 gauge g=for model makers here in the UK. 0 gauge is 7mm to the foot. I forget now off the top of my head what 1/24 scale is but we are talking g gauge (Garden gauge) if you are into model railways/railroads :)

Sorry..N gauge = 1:148 mm

I could write a book my friend about my life on the buses. Even before I left school I worked at a bus depot....wouldn't happen now due to health n safety etc lol If you ever watched "On the buses" , it really was like that when I first started out as a kid. Many thanks for viewing and taking time to leave a comment :)

@@StBlazeyModelWorld I hear you, my late father in law was a driver for 30 + years in Glasgow. I think he had girlfriends all along his route, his Mrs caught him out due to one of them taking him his lunch while she was on the bus 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you Anthony. I really thought I'd never get my hands on one but we live in a mysterious world. By the way my friend, many congratulations on hitting the 2K sub mark. Really well deserved :)

No it's all good Mark and you are right. Sadly, no amount of money buys you the perfect model. I am considering some upgrades to this by installing a side desti...that may only be a decal...and maybe also some working interior lighting. I drove M class as well but the very early ones out of FW. Many thanks for viewing and taking the time to comment. i do genuinely appreciate it mate. Stay safe :)

I passed my test on M30 one of the FW former allocation that was the garage I had my test from ,the first 50 looked great in red and white didn’t they tell me our metros didn’t have it but what was that thing in the right hand corner of the dashboard it was black with a curved top and a round knob on it cheers mate

@@marksinthehouse1968 Oh mate it's so long ago. I cannot actually remember now. The M class had a sparse cab, like the DMS/SMS. Somewhere I have aphoyo of an M cab, I'll try to find it and see if I can help answer your question. IT sounds odd, possibly, but I drove just about everything on the road at that time, and you kind of forget small detail as the years pass. I was later an NBC man so drove everything with a Bristol and Leyland badge on as well....where did the years go?

Ok mate many thanks take care 😊

There is nothing wrong at all in following the history of a particular place or area and collecting items that represent it if it has special meaning to you my friend. Many thanks for watching and taking the extra time to leave a comment :)

Well said Peter. I know many viewers will think so much just for a model bus but it is/has been...my whole working life so why not :)

That video is now live on the channel. Many thanks for viewing and leaving a comment :)

Thanks for the visit Dave. I hope you are keeping well. I really must reserve some time to join one of your streams soon. Thanks for viewing and taking time to comment mate :)
