Evening all, I ordered a kit from them in February and it was here in about 2 weeks. Steve

Evening all, I'm trying to refurbish my old Mainline 03 in blue. I bought it new in 1984(!) and it ran faultlessly, if a little fast, for years. It doesn't run at all now. I applied power directly to the wheels from my controller but nothing, the controller light doesn't even dim slightly. I have used a multimeter on but I can't find an open circuit. Can anyone help? Steve

Ian, Have a look at Robert Hendry's book about Station Infrastructure, published by Ian Allan. Steve

Hi Ian, Have you thought about Hastings? It was rebuilt in the 30s, with an octagonal booking hall, but fell into disrepair and was pulled down about 20 years ago and replaced with a modern glass structure. Sadly I haven't got any photos. Steve

Hi, Bluebell Railway have just acquired a 3R set, if you can get there it's well worth a visit. Steve

Hi Mark, I hope this helps, there are 4 tracks from the gates of the enclosure to about 10 feet (3m) short of the depot doors. This small area is concreted. The depot also services locos daily. Steve

Evening, I'd love to have one of those Hunters, that's the first time I've seen a photo of it, but I'd heard good things about it. I wouldn't mind a Victor either but my Dad had the earlier version (the same colour as the Oxford one). Steve

Evening all, I've tried the nail polish removal method on EFE buses without much success. I've got an EFE Bristol VR with wraparound Coastliner 700 decals. Does T-cut work with EFE decals too? Steve

Hi Newbryford, Curious that you mention that, scrolling through the thread reminded me that SNGs tender was used with Flying Scotsman on 'Mainline Railway Steam-up' on 3rd September 1983. Just for interest, class 86 Euston to Stockport, D200 from Stockport to Leeds. Flying Scotsman to Carlisle with 13 mk1s on a slightly greasy day, then class 81 back to Euston. Great day! Steve

Thanks Nearholmer, I'd seen abandoned derelict but I'll try 'disused Railways of sussex'. Steve

Hi Bob, Mine had one screw which made it easy, I was thinking of adding small rail wheels but couldn't work out how to do the extended axles. It's still just a road crane... Steve

Good morning, Having been to Isfield in Sussex recently for their Double Thumper event, I took a photo of the signal diagram which showed a siding south of the station. I know this was to an Army camp, does anyone have any more info? Maybe some photos... Steve

Thanks again chaps, Lots to think about! I'd better get saving to get that new book Richard has just highlighted... Steve

Gents, Thank you for your many and informed responses! In theory, I could run PO wagons alongside both colliery and Railway company wagons in the same train to the same destination whether or not they started from the same place. Am I right in thinking that while milk tanks could be attached to passenger trains, box vans would have to run in goods trains? I'm asking because I bought these today... Steve

Is that one of Simply Southern's?
