    Young Mr Mortimore, Please understand in Australian Polite Society, it is a badge of honour to be able to trace your ancestry to the First or Second Fleets and a mark up if they were convicts not guards. I hasten to add mine came out in about 1929

    One of the delights of operating sessions is the ABC classic concerts on Saturday- Yes john , dont worry about scenery but next time I come will bring my own signals

    Thank you all. Phil's advice was appropriate in that I have two H & M Clippers and I would have used them to run the loco. I am about to acquire (as well) a couple of GWR 56xxs which are chipped so will need to deal with those too. Nothing is as simple as , in my ignorance, I thoughts . Thanks

    recently I acquired a second-hand Atlas MP 15 Loco fitted with a DCC chip and loudspeaker. As I operate with DC I am wondering what to do with this. I understand that the easiest way to deal with it, is to get a DCC user to program it for me to run on DC. If I remove the chip is there anything else I need to do to make it operational on DC?

    What thickness are your end plates and your module surface- my guess is 12mm

    I have enough trouble trying to understand the pommy accents in RMweb without you showing your superior education by lapsing into unknown tongues . Think it must be a plot to exclude we petite colonials.

    Thank you for that. I am sorry I have not replied sooner , however some silly person ( politically correct to say " person" downunder)managed to cut a main internet cable mid morning Friday and it was not repaired until early Sunday with a somewhat depleted service available even then. Now I begin to appreciate what you are doing.

    Made my day - the light dawns- thank you very much

    Additive? you said it. Initial take is that there were few coal trains as such scheduled in 1949 - bit surprising - I am use to 50-60 waggon trains in the Hunter Valley in NSW the equivalent of Wales in 1913

    Thank you All. I have found a 1946 WTT which I think will fill the bill. We had a presentation at our BRMA convention in Sydney last weekend on timetables and it sparked my interest in exploring what was available on line. I do appreciate all your help.

    I am looking for a source of WTTs for the Welsh Valleys -prewar if possible any pre BR would do .

    I l looked at the photos in Rickards Vol 2 especially the rear loose cover and the target in that photo seems to be twice the size of the buffer so maybe 24inches is closer to the mark

    Not so you have NOT become the fat controler yet just "Comfortable"

    May we have a few details of the Rickards Records books please.- what the main coverage is and where we can get them?

    any one getting rid of any early Ian Rice books?
  21. chesterfield
    Brunswick green I presume?

    No one says the base etc has to be wood. For lightweight construction, may I suggest you look at a series of discussions in Model Railroad Hobbyist and also the $100 module .The Professor's cmments on building with foamcore might solve the weight problems for you, VERY QUICK CONSTRUCTION . The Prof produced his baseboard in 4 hourd if I recall. I don it have all my resources with me in Singapore

    Based on the comments in this thread , I too acquired a copy , as well as the realistic operation book also mentioned in another thread in Books. Of the two, the Rice book is really worthwhile. However it was the other thread which caused me to go to my Forest of Dean books and contour map and consider Staple Edge for a 4mm scale model.The O gauge version is excellent (se theother thread's review)
