One of the coupling rods on my Hornby Class 08 (R2417) has snapped, the part number is X9369. The problem I'm facing is that Hornby don't have any in stock, nor do Peter's Spares, who have had them on order since 2016!
I don't know where to look next, can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks

Hi, can anyone let me know the length of just the bridge itself. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ralph this is a fascinating subject. Have you had any more thoughts about modelling Wellington Road Goods Depot?
Hi Ralph, I found this aerial shot of 'old' Stockport which shows the line running through the viaduct to Wellington Road Goods Depot. Two lines also run through the adjacent arch to form what looks like a small coal yard?
The main lines that drop into the tunnel lead to Tiviot Dale Station.
Hope you find it interesting.

Thanks again for the quick reply. I'm working on a similar sized two-level layout at the moment and I've been unsure whether to step the retaining walls where the track rises or slope the wall - I've not been able to find any suitable images. Looking at the way you've tackled the incline and bridge over the yard, though, has given me the inspiration I needed. Do you plan to cover this section with the Metcalfe brick paper?

Thanks for the prompt reply. Is the 11.5cm to the top of the wall or the track bed?

Hi bescotbeast. Just read the entire thread ... what a terrific layout! Is the bridge over the yard on the level or an incline? And what height are the retaining walls in the yard? Thanks

Have just found this thread and found it truly inspirational. Could I ask a quick question about the sleepers. Are the three colours you mentioned mixed in equal parts. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, the excellent suggestions, unfortunately, are way above my modelling skills. Think I'll keep my eye on ebay to see if anything crops up.
