But at least smoke signals are backed up in the cloud. 🙊 Roddy

IPA on an ear bud works to remove the paint on the windows. I just gently levered the glass out using a Stanley knife blade. Mine came out very easily with little pressure required. Regards Roddy

No they weren't, and this is what happened. CDL should have been fitted.

Whilst I may agree with the sentiment, the reality is that we older people grew up with no central door locking and therefore knew to keep away from the doors, especially since they might look closed and locked but in fact might open when leaned on. Younger people have grown up used to doors being fully secured when a train is moving and may not realise the risks attached to slam door carriages. All it takes is for a child to steady themselves on a not fully closed door for them to fall out of the coach when moving. Falling from a train may not be due to any irresponsible behavior by the victim. If everything that used to be okay should be allowed to continue, bring back blue asbestos! Roddy

As was mine, a 1972 model. I still miss it as it was fun to drive, mind you, I fitted a Holbay engine and reworked the gearbox/overdrive and suspension. The sound that the twin Weber 40 DCOEs made was fantastic. Unfortunately, like most 70s cars, the tin worm did for it and it began to bend in the middle. I sold it to someone I knew who wanted the engine and gearbox for a rally car. Roddy

You could probably even out the axle loading with careful positioning of the vehicles, assuming the overall weight limit/axle loading is not breached and there is sufficient room to position both vehicles as required. Roddy

I think that this message means that the sender has chosen to use a non-tracked delivery method, such as normal second class or, often next day delivery. As the item is not tracked through RMs service and it is only when delivery is attempted that you get any information. I've had this on a number of occasions. Roddy

Railtec do decals for the bolt holes on the brake discs for the class 68. Just search for "class 68" on their website. Roddy

I hope that they will become available as an accessory. Accurascale's other magnetic couplings have been made available that way. Roddy

I get this as well. It just seems to be an alternative to using your password to login, either method still seems to work. The verification code process seems to be automatically triggered by starting to enter your email address in the login page for the Accurascale website. I find using the verification code preferable, as it is quicker than having to lookup what password I am using. Roddy

That is odd! I am sure that I saw mention that Hornby were going to bring out a new magnetic coupling for models in this era, it will be interesting to see if it is similar to Accurascale's for the chaldrons. Roddy

Why not check with Hornby? Perhaps the couplers were accidentally missed from your pack. Roddy

Sign up on the relevant item page and you will be notified when they become available. I think that this is done by request date so don't hang around. Roddy

So was I. I remember the kick off was delayed and they had to move the private school kids from the benches at the foot of the terracing on to the grass so that they could make more space to fit everyone in. That was the last Murrayfield match where you could pay at the turnstile. At the time the crowd was estimated at more than 120k. I have never heard of any significant bad behaviour amongst rugby fans at Murrayfield. John Jeffries does not count as a fan for this recollection and the least said about the damage to the Calcutta Cup the better. Roddy

Perhaps Rails simply wanted to stop anyone else buying and trading as Hattons? Roddy
