You should have no problem with Gaugemaster. I've got an Model D controller that I purchased around 1987/88. The direction switch on one of the track controllers stopped working in one direction so I emailed Gaugemaster and they said to send it to them and they would look into it. I posted off to Gaugemaster and I had the controller back within two weeks of posting from Ireland. They replaced the switch free of charge and the only thing that I had to pay for was to post the controller to Gaugemaster. This was December 2018 so my controller is approx. 30 years old.

Back in the day you did not sign for the route until you knew all the pubs....

Obviously went the "Great Way Round"

Has the red, green & gold livery been applied correctly?

Yes that's correct. Dave's baseboards are made to a very high standard.

Had a great time in Cultra at the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum model railway day with my SVLR layout which was very well received by the show visitors. It was a very good show with all the various layouts set amongst the 12" - 1' exhibits.

I will be at the Cultra Model exhibition Saturday 10th November with the SVLR. Look forward to seeing you there. https://www.nmni.com/whats-on/model-railway-day

Not too often as far as I know. When I was working on HST's over a 20 years time span I think I only ever had to split a set on two occasions. Using the power cars for shunting was quite interesting as you could not see when setting back and you had to rely on a competent person to relay the signals to you.

There is a three page article in the November 2018 issue of Continental Modeller outlining details and improvements to Campbell Riverside. Regards, John

Owd Bob, Like you for some obscure reason I chose 008 as my favourite 50 too though 50039 was the first Hoover that I had for haulage! Regards. John

Would often pop in during my Midland Mainline days, (just enough time when working HST's, xx38 arrival [i think] & xx32 return departure). Even if I did not intend to buy anything I would quite often leave the shop with something.

Is that in case SWMBO finds out?

I currently have a very pale green in my train room, may change it to white at sometime in the future.
