Judge Dread

Try "Cobalt" motors if you can get one. I have 11 on my layout and require 4 more. Everywhere seems to be out of stock but I can wait. www.dccconcepts.com is the place to try (usual denial)

As a retired electrician myself, my old boss would have said, "It's all work kid, either us or the fire brigade, it depends on who greats there first!".

"All quiet on the Western (Eastern)Front", nothing to report here in sunny Hull.

Snow should only be seen on Christmas cards says I. Bah Humbug!

There is a "Sutton-upon-Hull" just up the road from here. Does that count for anything?

Will there be an "N" gauge version, and also DCC??

The electric may go off, be prepared with a candle and a match!

May I add my "2 pence" by pointing out that any drilling through a switch should be as high up as possible, as inside there is a linkage with a spring around it.

That would be the two of them I saw on York shed in about the late 50's. The locos (47972 & 47994) were seen on different times but in the same place.

My Silver Fox body on a Hornby 71 is due back from the paint shop at any moment, I hope!

A day to remember is today. It's our 54th wedding anniversary and I remembered it!!

A couple of years ago now, I took my wife, who has a "Blue badge", in my Citron Berlingo van to our local Morrison's to A, do our weekly shop and B, fill my van up with cheaply priced diesel. As I stopped in the disabled bays, a person next to us proclaimed, "That's not disabled" for all to hear. My reply, at the same volume, was "It's my wife who has the badge, not the van, that's for transport"!

How strange, so did I. If yours wasn't in Hull, there's more than one!

I have had my moments with 3 link couplings on other peoples layouts and got myself into a real tangle to put it mildly. I resolved never to use them on any layout of mine. Not so long ago I was given a full size shunting example that, on examination, reveled the reason for my problems. The heal is there to stop the couplings sliding down and every model example I have used certainly didn't have such a thing. I hope this maybe helpful.

I think I can get my hands on an "Aden" gun pack, any good to you?
