Tony, Ive spoken to you several times at shows regarding pickups and your technique of cutting part of the leaf spring away and the use of nickel wire. I studied your V2 shot and this week I’ve fitted your style of pickup to 3 of my locos and I am very happy with them. These are all recent builds but next time I will cut the leaf spring part away first. All are EM gauge solid Comet chassis with Markits wheels Portescaps and Bachmann bodies filled with lead. BR Standard 5, Standard 4 mogul and Crab. The front drivers on the crab are on the top. I obtained the bodies and complete tenders as spares and as these will Be DCC and I want to retain the tender sockets and DCC gubbins in the tender as standard I just need to obtain some spare male connectors for the locos now. Thanks for the inspiration.

Are the Bachmann ones available as spares? Ive several locos with replacement brass chassis and I discarded the loco plugs a long time ago but still want to use the tender socket and the tender for the decoder. So I need the loco plugs as a spare.

Lockdown has restricted our club room access, but work is going on on locos, stock and buildings.

Hi Tony. I have several Comet chassis locos awaiting finishing. All are good runners, EM gauge, solid chassis, Markits wheels apart from the 4f which is Brassmasters chassis and Ultrascales. The jinties and J39 have Portescaps, all need sandboxes and sandpipes to complete. I also have a comet standard 4 mogul, standard 5 and crab in similar condition. Ive tried your nickel silver pickups and im impressed with them. Ill paint these when the weather is warmer. My question is regarding sandboxes. What do you do? I always wondered why Comet didnt include them.

Triang Pylons were used in a 1967 episode of Captain Scarlet and the mysterons. Episode Place of the angels, in a dam complex.

Ive recently had planning permission granted for a new garage to replace an older and smaller one in front of my house. Its closer to the roadside and also to the house, and to make it fit the rear corner is in front of the house line which is where I needed permission. I want this as a railway room and also so that it could be used as a garage for a car if needed, also the garage door would be needed as the layout when dismantled goes on trolleys which can be wheeled straight out the garage door onto a van with tail lift. Basically a granny room with a garage door. Whats bugging me is the security, Even though its a quiet close Im still not 100% sure id like all of my stuff at the front of the house, for some reason the rear of the house feels more secure. Although this isnt an option. And also the garage door itself. I want the building to be as warm and insulated as possible, im considering heated flooring as radiators would be in the way of the layout. The achilles heel seems to be the main door, also I need it to take up the least depth as possible to maximise the internal space. At the moment I cant decide weather it is worth going ahead or even to move property to somewhere which has larger space for a rear of the house building. Parking of cars in front of the house is starting to feel an issue so I may pave the garden, but then I think the garden being paved with a garage next to and no garden walls may look odd?

My favourite box art but who painted it?

Is there a way to get this for an ipad?

Brilliant Sandra.

The lower level reminds me of somewhere that was once a passenger station in its early years but became a goods yard later on?

Where is that?

Does anyone recognise this location? Said to be Liverpool in the 1960s. The headcode on the Jinty is 9T34. I dont recognise it as Liverpool.

Anyone remember a comedy sketch, I think it was Benny hill, with a level crossing where the man parks his car with mother in law in on the crossing, runs off, then there was a library shot of a blue intercity 125 approaching, you hear the crash, he opens his eyes and looks back to see the car in perfect condition and the wife or mother in law getting out but with the 2 coaches of the train placed on top of the train. I dont know who did the sketch, Im guessing it was Benny hill, it was late 80s early 90s, I know its not very tasteful, it must have taken a bit of time and money to set up, maybe on a preserved line, but its stuck in my mind all this time.

Very nice. HOP AB version please. If they’re easy to convert to other gauges say with 26mm axles ill take a full rake.

Hoping you can still do the 04/8 boiler. I really like the 04/7 I have which is nearing completion.

They are all on youtube and ive been flicking through them to find it. Nothing has come up but It definately has the feel of what I rememember. Although ive got a feeling this was more of a lower budget CITV programme.

Im trying to recall something which I am reminded of every time I see those videos filmed from the front of a Lego train going around a garden or floor. 1980s. Had that similar fast sharp curves feel to it. may have been a sort of ghost train but more akin to a sort of indoor rollercoaster. I can't recall if it was a music video, intro to a kids tv show or what but its something I can remember from childhood and its bugged me for a long time.
