Comment on The Hump: A depot too far? by Andy Rawlins

Hi Gareth, like yourself I have always wanted to have a class 13 hump engine and wanted to model a section of the Tinsley Hump. I am very interested in the MMP 7mm kit, but what I’m really after is some info relating to the hump at Tinsley. Do you have any info as to the height of the hump in relation to adjacent trackwork angle of decent etc, or can you point me in the right direction of any literature relating to the elevations. I have a track plan - but no dimensions at all. Many thanks Andy

Hi Nigel,

Well I did sneak a day in Muttenz-Pratteln-Basel in April, but yes, I need to go back for longer. I did actually have a trip planned, but I had to cancel it as there were some issues in the office that meant I couldn’t take any holiday when I had originally hoped to go.

Nice shot, like the autumnal colours. Two years ago now GB, time you went back!! SBB Re6/6s have quite a bit of booked work on this route although a pair is a little unusual. Nigel

What’s with all the GP15 photos? A teaser for the Athearn Genesis GP15’s in the pipeline?

Nice! I like the weathering on the fuel tank :-)

Comment on Do you know what is made where? by Gareth

Hi Malcolm,

Thanks, I was going to try and add Japanese and Australian model makers to the list, so this gives me a good head start. Once you have a few clues, it really helps the investigative process!

Hi,

I found the above very interesting. The Japanese manufacturers use China as well.

All Micro Ace is made there and as they used to import Life Like it is likely to made in that factory.

Tomix are rumoured to use the Kader plant for trains while Kato still try to use Japan for some production.

I think that is how the whole Soo GP38-2 fleet was specified.
