The Hull and Barnsley section of the East Yorkshire Railways web site mentions that occasional football specials ran on the line between South Howden station and the Hull City football ground up until 1958. regards Peter

Hi Bill, thanks for the pointers. Regards Peter

Certainly Bill, I was wondering if I could tweak the coupling to be compatible with the current mini tension lock couplings and still keep the delayed action bar. It’s a long shot but I will give it a try. If It works it will help operations as I change my stock from one system to the other in batches. regards Peter

Thanks Bill, perfectly illustrated. Looks better than the mini tension lock couplings currently fitted to my stock. When time permits I will experiment with the coupling fitted to a couple of wagons and see how it goes. Regards Peter

Hi Bill, I have just read your article with interest. Alas non of the images are now viewable due to the great crash. Do you still have the images to hand and are your able to re-post them? Many thanks Peter

Could you not build up the level of the river bed so that you can pour a thinner layer of resin in one go. It is possible to create the illusion of depth by pre-painting the river bed with graduating darker tones towards the centre. Good luck.

I have similar problems on my two dcc 45xx locos that intermittently hunt or surge at low to moderate speed. I have been able to mitigate this to some extent by tweeking the cv’s that control the back EMF settings but believe the main issue on my 45’s is mechanical relating to the slide head extension bar catching as it slides in and out of the plastic air pump moulded on the right hand side of the body. I will get round to fixing this at some point in the future. Let me know if you want any information on decoder EMF settings and I will try and help.

The above effect usually happens when two textures are applied to the same model surface. Hope this helps.

The layout is looking great. Hope that you are enjoying the MKMRS show. Suffering with a chest infection at the moment so not able to get there. I read in Nick Wood’s post that the gremlins were about at the show this morning and there was a power cut lasting an hour. These things are sent to try us. Hope tomorrow is a better day.
