for the coach shell i say you coulr turn it into a mobile shed or cargo holder or something to hold logs and such. for the brakevan shell make it a tool shed by the works area
You've hit the nail on the head with the RR box: some great items for decorating a layout with obsolete railway paraphernalia. The buffer stop, ladders, telegraph pole & figure alone are worth twenty quid!
The canopy in that box is worth the 10 quid alone, at least to me. I'd like to see you put that on the station at the top of the hill and add a platform to reach the other line, maybe using The Railway Children station if you still have it 19:44 you could turn that into an open-air car like what some tourist railroads run 21:45 it's a beekeeper 47:05 all I could tell you is "Great Western" based on the right-hand controls
Sam. You should buy another rocket railways reclaimed mystery box and try challenge yourself to craft a small model railway using all the parts from the box and also using any random modelling supplies that you don’t have any use for.
19:44 this could be used as a small covered open air waiting room for passengers at one of your stations. I did it with a few beat up Hornby coaches I got from a pack of ten coaches.
I live quite close to Rocket Railways and a membership. 10% off purchases. A free open 7 plank open wagon Dapol. I have had Mystery boxes and because I collect them then they’re only a couple of quid. Excellent service from the guys and the price of the secondhand stock is great value for money especially for people just starting out.
Brake van cut down as a hot dog stand. Passenger car cut down as a yard office maintenance storage shed. Weird roof piece as a scene with figures welding torch and scrapping tools.
Hey, Sam got a box of junk! I was going to get a box of junk a few months back, but when I ordered my other models from them the boxes weren't listed on their site, and there was no way I was paying a second batch of international shipping for a box of junk. I was generally pleased with my order. I got a load of cheap wagons, because I wanted the cheapest wagons the internet could provide for some shunting. Most of them were well worth the money, although one of the more expensive ones didn't mention that it was missing the couplings. More expensive was still less then 15 quid, though, and I mainly got it for the BR container on the wagon anyways. I also got a quite unusual kit built salt van, and astonishingly, the axel boxes on it had functional plastic leaf springs.
Also, I think you should do a giveaway with the Triang wagon. If mine are anything to go by, they are too low performance for trains in your reviews and stuff, but good enough for messing about with shunting.
Got a bold request: have you ever had a mamod live stream loco? If you haven't, it's a 0 or 1 gauge loco that actually runs off of steam. The loco itself is about 400 quid I think, so it'd be something interesting to look at if you haven't already.
Re the box. The first of the two tree parts is a section of Merit poplar tree. The single piece of metal fencing looks like one of the six side panels to the Hornby single deck car transporter wagon. Keep up the good work.
This is not necessarily the place to make this comment but I see today, Monday 1st August, that Hornby's latest Hush Hush locos cost £254.49. Now I like mine but I think has gone up £35 in less than 8 months.
I have an idea of what you can do with the carrage missing all the windows. Make a Observation Car for Tourists to put on one of your trains, like the one on the Bluebell Railways.
@@SamsTrains Your Welcome I the moment I saw that carrage with the windows all cut out I was thinking about the Observation Car like the one operated by the Bluebell Railway.
So sorry I missed it! I was sleeping in after a long day of racing yesterday. My dad and I went to two different races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, so it was a long, tiring day lol Also, my birthday was on the 26th, so yay Birthday Song! As far as that Carriage shell, one thing you could do is model an open-air carriage. Some tourist railroads in the U.S. do have some cars that are modified to be open-air, like, for example, an old gondola with a roof built onto it and benches built into it, or something like that. And the scrap train looked really cool! Not surprised to see the Heljan 1361 on there!
Hey sam! Since you know so much about model trains, i tought i should ask you, if it is possible to Connect a Bachmann controller to the hornby power track? (If not then what controller does?)
