Whoever it was that told me Bachmann's website now had a direct sale spares shop, thanks! I've just sorted out three engines that have been hanging around awaiting bits for years! 👍

DVLA; 6 months I've been waiting for my renewed licence. Can't even update my address details despite having moved home.
Sort it out people, this has gone on too long!

Bizarre. Am 73 in Nov and had 'invite' to renew licence just before Bank Hols. Request submitted online Tue 24Aug. I was worried how long it would take due to publicity about backlogs at DVLA. Licence arrived Bank Hol Sat 28Aug. As an aside, they ask you to cut up old licence and send it off. There's no way they could have received it and cross-checked it against new licence as new one was in my hands before old one got to Swansea.

Anything that requires the DVLA to actually make a decision is a joke. The DVLA is just there to take money off people. Look at photocard driving license. They said it would be free, and it is, but they charge you for the renewals. There are lots of PCV/HGV drivers waiting on them, but the Government has made sure that the DVLA cannot be liable for loss of earnings. No private company would get away with it.

Just ruminating, but would knocking out the gears to the 1st and second axles on a DJM Austerity remove the cogging issue by letting one axle and the rods do all the work?

@skipepsi They run fine with no motor or worm attached. It’s not the rods, it’s backlash within the gear train when the motor and worm are in position. EFE have changed the motor which may have resolved the issue with the new releases.

Hey, Bachmann, if the Grainflows are too expensive to assemble and be viable for you; how about doing them CKD-style for those of us happy to assemble them ourselves?

I can't believe the accumulations of crap and unfinished projects that litter what is colloquially known as Max Stafford's Kennel. I feel a purge may be required for mental health reasons!

There’s no question in my mind now that the Class 68 is the most awesome sounding diesel since the Deltics.
