Hi Not In my experience it doesn’t and the Police don’t seem interested in the data even after a fatal accident. Cheers Paul

Hi I used the ones from the diagram books on the Barrowmore website for the basic dimensions http://www.barrowmoremrg.co.uk/BRBDocuments/Book_03_Issue.pdf page 30 http://www.barrowmoremrg.co.uk/BRBDocuments/Book340Dugdale01_Issue.pdf page 107 http://www.barrowmoremrg.co.uk/BRBDocuments/Book340Dugdale02.pdf page 124 I also used the photos on Paul Bartletts website for the details https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/belgianpolybulk Cheers Paul

Hi I scratchbuilt one in 1/148 not too hard a job with the slab sides and Railtec do the transfers in 2mm, 3mm, 4mm and 7mm scales. Cheers Paul

Hi You might want to put the sleepers in at the ends of the points before ballasting any more track as it might be quite difficult to get them in afterwards. Cheers Paul

Hi Yes they are from 0.3mm Plastruct rod MR-10P. I made a jig to set the V and the length of the legs with a further jig to cut the bottom part to length. The channel on the sides is fabricated from three pieces of 0.25mm x 0.50mm strip as there isn't anything commercially available that is small enough. Picture of one I built about eight years ago Cheers Paul

Hi Correct they were from Etched Pixels originally for the Mill Lane Sidings BR Ferry Van. I can't see them being run again as the NGS now does a RTR BR Ferry Van and Etched Pixels is no more though items have been distributed to various other people (2mm SA for one). Cheers Paul

Hi It's made from various thicknesses of plasticard and microstrip. The W Irons, wheels, vacuum cylinder, buffer heads, axleboxes and springs are from the 2mm SA. The air cylinder and distributor are from the TPM 100T tanker detailing set. Cheers Paul

Hi I glued them to a piece of 10 thou plasticard as a backing. Photo below of them attached to one of the vans. Cheers Paul

Hi I used my last set to cast some in resin so I now have an endless supply 😀 and have just used some to create four more Belgian Ferry vans to diagram E266 Cheers Paul

Hi Don’t bother. This advice is generally for OO points. I have sixty unmodified Peco code 55 N gauge points on my layout and have not had any issues in the last twenty years. Cheers Paul

Hi It seems to be increasingly common in the last few years. Walking up our local high street you end up getting a nose full of the stuff. Cheers Paul

Hi Thats maybe why mine just works on windows 10 as my laptop has USB 2.0 ports as well as the UB 3.0 ones. Cheers Paul

Hi Have you considered the MERG CBus system for your points? https://www.merg.org.uk/resources/cbus Cheers Paul

Hi Anything that is mass produced will have bad examples but you can’t just right off a brand because of your bad experience. Testing every single device would push the cost up. I used to work in a factory were we hand built the items and each was rigorously tested, they cost more than the alternative brands. Even after all that we still had returns due to failures of components. Cheers Paul

Hi Yet I have had two Nextbase cameras and both have been perfect. Reason for two is I sold my car with the first one in it as I’d had it hardwired in and didn’t want to remove it. Cheers Paul

Hi It’s this that worries me as being diabetic I have to eat at certain times which are likely to be the peak times so I will be penalised for my illness. Cheers Paul

Hi The arrows usually point to the negative connection. Cheers Paul

Hi I believe it’s due to the moderated status of the poster Cheers Paul

Hi I think you have missed the point of a head up display. You look through it to see the road but can also see what speed you are doing without looking down at your instruments. Cheers Paul

Hi P&D Marsh have some of the white metal castings. Link to Alan’s post on the N Gauge Forum https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?msg=824860 Cheers Paul

Hi What you need is a set of cutting broaches because as you’ve found drills just tend to catch. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Modelcraft-0-6-2-0-Cutting-Broach-Grey/dp/B001JJZ76I/ref=asc_df_B001JJZ76I/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=256184816614&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17097761376248027292&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006892&hvtargid=pla-422910410143&psc=1&mcid=da44b11cfcec33daaf5693d899e2614d&th=1&psc=1 Other suppliers are available Cheers Paul

Hi Thanks for the above information as it has enabled me to get the glazing out of a Farish class 24 completely intact. Cheers Paul

Hi This is my N version just needs transfers Cheers Paul

Hi The person in question has an adequate drive but because they have multiple vehicles choose to leave one on the corner to save having to swap the cars over. https://www.google.com/maps/@53.3595445,0.0994879,3a,75y,341.13h,81.06t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sV8zgAnDDL0zr3s1Rb0nrDA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu This is the corner and the owner of the cars lives in the house just to the right of the image with the car on the drive. I don't think your theoretical question applies here. Cheers Paul

Hi Who said I was prepared to put up with it? Please don't make assumptions, I reported it and it was dealt with eventually but there are many other cases of this one of which the Police say isn't a proper junction so they can't do anything about it. Cheers Paul
