I'm working on an upgraded version of the REVIEW index produced from a complete skim of all issues (a? very enjoyable exercise) which I'll hopefully release in the next few days.?If I've got it

If you look in the Wrightlines article in Review Issue 2, there is a photo at the top of page 47 showing the patterns. Sent: 17 April 2020 17:23 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [o14] Something to do

What about the Bagnall loco 'Rheidol'? As a 2-4-0T it would have a wider market than the big 2-6-2Ts. It ran on the Rheidol till 1923 having run. On the Hafan & Talybont. There is a small drawing in

All I can add to Allan's comments are that the only pertinent Wrightlines review I can find in the NG&IRM Review Index is about Wrightlines in general and doesn't mention VoR. The same copy (Review 4)

Hi Sorin Good to hear from you, and welcome. My brother lives in Romania, in a small village near Cimpulung in Arges, so it's a small world! The book “Vale of Rheidol Light Railway” by C.Green

I think the body masters were produced but the chassis and valve gear were proving to be a bit of a challenge. I am sure the masters were in a photo in an article about Wrightlines in an early NG&IRM

Although it wasn’t a particular interest of mine, I do remember Kay telling me that she had someone producing masters for a white-metal kit of a VoR tank but that, even then (20 years ago?), not a

As this is my first post here, please let me introduce myself. My name is Sorin Anghel, I live in Bucharest, Romania and I am a long time modeller. My primary scale is HO (and HOe for narrow gauge)

David, That looks like a noble start! I have been using Fast Tracks templates in Sn3 for constructing my O14 turnouts and track. Craig

The last I heard about Kevin's proposed VoR loco kit was that almost all the progress he had made on artwork had been wasted because it was hand drawn and all the etching companies he trusted to do

I just wanted to thank Marc, Frank, Dave and John for your advice on building points in 021mm gauge. I took something from all the suggestions, which were all helpful. Point building is not my forte

I seem to remember that Wrightlines once promised a 7mm scale white-metal kit of this loco, but nothing ever came of it. And now that firm seems to have disappeared! -- Brian

Shame its only in the BR livery, possibly the most inappropriate use of a corporate livery ever applied! I'm waiting for someone to motorise it! Steve

I seem to recall that Kevin Trim of Dorset Kits fame was planning an etched ?Rheidol loco some years back. Has anyone heard any more about this? Paul

Arthur Thanks. If Kevin does come up with the VoR locos I’ll certainly be after a couple! Allan

I believe that Kevin Trim of Dorset Kits was working on a kit for the Rheidol locos and, knowing Kevin, if it eventually does come to fruition, it is quite likely to be O-14 compatible. Arthur

Allan, It is a shame, remember Wrightlines promising one for some time back in the day. A BR blue layout would certainly be a bit different to the norm... Cheers, Andrew

I second the thanks! I’m halfway through a test build using the preliminary print I made on Bristol. It’s been a long time since building one of these card kits and I need a warm-up. It’s good

Thanks John and Roy for this - I can remember building the original in my student digs, using a pair of scissors and PVA glue. I’m still hoping that somebody, somewhere, will produce an etched kit
