! Bob O. How come your link takes me to my sign in details? P Don't know, Mr R, I didn't post a link, My computer crashed at that very moment and I only just got it mended. Wish it was still 1963 and we did not have the ****ing things!

WOW!

There is an article in an old Hornby Mag (date to follow) this in conjunction with Silver Sideliles post sorts this loco out. You can get a bit more weight in the 14xx too. A lead idisc in the smoke box plus a bit in the fire box top, Tny bits of "golf " tape in the boiler sides and on the tank sides can add 15-20 grammes, Every 4g is an extra wagon and every 16g a coach! However a 14xx is a couple of coaches max load,

Empty ones?

Good stuff, Keep it coming . Fox transfers though and lining otherwise great.

I dont think the current pick up from the Hornby tender underframe is worthwhile, It's not really a needed and over time the drag fom the pick ups loses you haulage,

Candle in the wind? Parrrrrrrrrrrrp

There is a useful site called Fungus in model land

Well said Sir In Patform Accidents by Eileen Dover the aurthor states that following the 1961 accdent at Eastfield West, rivets and cable drums are to be secured by means of an elastic band. I know this to be true because I have a 1962 Tri-ang model of a cable drum wagon with the load prototypicaly secured.
