hi, they are the newer/newest Hornby Teaks, the wheels are metal, you could be right about stiff bogie pivots, but that wouldnt likely be the cause for them being so heavy with friction, it may fix the derailing, i will take a look

I have a rake of around 7 Hornby Teaks, they are second hand so i cannot say what history they have had, they are in otherwise good condition however they are an incredibly heavy set and not very free wheeling, in addition to this they can derail very easily, especially over points/round corners, this could be related to the heavy friction pulling them off the track but I'm no expert. I have tried cleaning and lubricating the axles but this didnt have much effect, could this be a gauging issue? has someone seen this happen before and if so whats the best way to solve the issue?

Most often you see LMS livery with large L M S written on the tender, but in the instance of a loco like 5025 as it was in the 90's and now as restored again, the lettering on the tender is smaller. What is the difference and what does it mean?

I cannot seem to find sufficient information regarding coaching formations during the big 4 era for the Southern Railway, I find a lot of stuff that I fear is BR orientated, and didn't want to assume it was the same. can anyone help out? I am interested in Maunsell and Bulleid formations, and am also curious to know if the coach types were ever mixed? Thanks alot

Thanks for your reply, very interesting, so was the livery ever used in actual service?

I cannot find any information about this livery anywhere, does someone have some knowledge they could share about this strange yet quite attractive livery.

thanks woodenhead, seen you about before, appreciate your clarity and help

people are starting to divert from the question here, is it secure, in other words, did you ever get money stolen or cards stolen or whatever. no other criticisms

This is my worry, giving bank details to a real person over the phone or over an email seems weird, has anyone had any past dealing with them? Disregarding delivery time customer service and what not, did you feel it was secure and trustworthy?

yeah with GDPR companies are supposed to release breach information to the public, so should be fairly good as long as they comply with GDPR. but yeah, having your bank details stored on a database like that seems odd

dunno whether i am just not understanding something, but i havent seen anyone mentioning the way Olivia's Trains does online orders, over email/over the phone etc. is this even secure? or am i being dumb somehow. i know opinions of this shop are mixed, and people could argue for cenuries about whether they are good or not, im not asking for that though, im asking for clarification as to how their system works, and whether it is secure, no other olivias trains criticisms please.
