    Just watched something on YouTube about Mercedes sticking with black for next year's livery; so although Hamilton not yet signed it looks like they presume he will.

    Should have gone to Specsavers.

    Make your own. Take a 8 pin blanking plug, file a groove between the pins down the middle of the long length, 3 grooves between the pins across the short side so that all the soldered joins have been cut and you now have 8 separated pins. These are the straight and angled pins I use to push into the decoder socket. I use 1 set of 5 pins for the motor/track connections, and 1 set cut in half for the 2 speaker wires. That's all I need for my steam locos. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193845222159

    It doesn't look very pretty, but that is the right way, it can only fit one way. I make my own short leads to convert 21 to 8 pins, with individual pins, it doesn't matter which side of the female block the pins go in, as long as they go in the right holes.

    Reminds me of the respective advertising slogans of Walls and Durex:- Walls Ice-cream - Stop me and Buy One. Durex Condoms - Buy Me and Stop One.

    Looking at that front on photo of him, I wonder if D. Coulthard Esq. happened to be in Russia about 22 years ago?

    There was York Model Railway, which moved to a site on an old WW2 airfield in Lincolnshire which is an Antiques center and weekend market, (forget the name), but I did hear it went bust. No idea of the current situation.

    Bill Hudson, author of the book this subject takes its name from, told me most was destroyed by Derby Council when they wanted their building back.

    Sir kn*b, if you don't mind.

    Looks good to me, and here's hoping this is the precursor to Bachmann releasing one, in the "damn, I've just built a kit one!" way of things.

    If he does, and starts taking points off Mad Max, how long before MM starts flinging accusations and blame for the resulting tangles that will certainly occur, and team orders are instigated.

    I think the big decoders do, but the small ones 8 ohms only (most sugarcubes are 8).

    One went for that price last night on eBay (auction).

    I would agree, if you think Mr O Dudders' signal will still get through from France after midnight Dec 31st?
  15. daltonparva
    A new thread is generally started on 1st Jan, by 1 of 2 venerable gentlemen, I should wait for them to do the honours.

    Dear Mr Dudders. Has your name always had a stutter in it, or have I only just noticed it?
  17. daltonparva
    It's probably going to be that NER electric thingy (technical reference).
  18. daltonparva
    The sound one has gone now as well.

    I live in the Sheffield postcode area (Rotherham) and we seem to be only getting post once a week. I might not see a postman all week, but last Thursday they were swarming all over and I got 2 deliveries in 1 hour.

    What's not already been pre-ordered will be put on the collectors club site on Monday.

    I'm afraid that's the exact opposite in Bachmann's case of LMS locos, a pet gripe of mine. Midland compound, 1P, Lanky 2-4-2 tank, all plain black when they should be red and lined black.

    There's a YouTube video of Jenny Kirk interviewing an Accurascale gent who confirms there will be a steam loco soon.

    If you want to spend £164 there's one on eBay, type the ref 31-740 in.

    You've missed one. Bachmann have a new n gauge 8f, and what they do in one size tends to follow in the other.

    Just been asked by Bachmann to pay for the SDJR blue ltd ed one.
