    Crimping pliers on eBay about £9. P.ugs very cheap. Dave

    I was told by Phil Parker to 'stop banging on about this problem'. And here we are weeks after the event where the organisers seem to have done nothing about informing exhibitors about the problem and I'm sure many have paid up. Dave.

    Very helpful but what are they and where do you get them please ?

    A very few of you will have seen posts regarding this H0 layout in the 'Exhibition' section but little else has appeared here. Built and owned by our Club Member, Graham Broad, in 2019 it won the Continental Modeller mag Best Layout at the Warley show. I thought it was about time to post a few pics. Dave.

    The AS Class 37 was my first ever Factory sound fitted loco. In the past I have always fitted my own using Legoman chips (34 now) and I've learnt my lesson the hard way. 😭 Back to Legoman as I need a re-blow or two soon to keep up with developments. Dave.

    Very kind of you to offer Charlie and much appreciated. Unable to take up the offer though, as I just couldn't stand the set up, it was so bad. It's now with a new loving owner and I made £10. Thanks once again Charlie. Dave Smith

    I spray my ballast with a water/ipa mixture to break the surface tension. I would say, Dawn, that you probably had enough washing up liquid in the PVA to take care of the surface tension. Dave.

    I have literally, just now, tried it. It fits with a tiny bit removed from the Lima body at the very bottom of two front coners. You will need to find if the Dapol cabs fit though as I'm not in a position to try them. The Lima boy sits on the Dapol buffer beams just like the Dapol body. Dave.

    I wanted a refund for my 37 because reducing the volume to allow the loco to run was not satisfactory in my eyes. However, they would not accept that I could have a refund so it went back to them. Two weeks later and its back and cured. However, the quality of sound is not upto scratch. I'm beginning to think this is a sound file by ESU. Good sound on start up and pulling away. Tickover is barely audible thought. Its going to be sold and will be the first and last AS loco I own. Dave.

    In my experience most Bachamann locos need the grease clea ed out of the bogies, the fickups adjusted outwards nad then lightly re greased . Always works for me. Dave.

    Thanks to Phil Parker for the Parking charge info. However, I only spotted all this because I was looking to see if anyone had posted video of our layout. I think Warners may have a big problem with anyone that doesn't see this thread for any reason. Over the Steve Cole I think. Dave.

    I was exhibiting and had a Parking pass in my window in the Paddock. Euro Car Parks have me for 24 hours from Sunday arrival at 08.53. £8.20 BRM get this sorted please. Dave.

    Try Scale3D Dave.

    I made this using a Youtube vid from somewhere. 3/4 sheets of tissue paper together soaked with watered PVA and whilst still slightly wet, moulded over the end of a wagon. When dry, black thread used to secure ans then weathered. Dave.

    On my own layout, I use Servos for turnouts so a juicer is perfect. Dave.

    On our layout where they are in use, we have hand operated points (fiddleyard entry/exit) and 2 of the frogs are on a diamond. Dave.

    Road closure WARNING! As people travel from afar, we warned! The M25 is closed ALL weekend at Jct 10/A3. Diversions are up to 10 miles. Don't attempt to use this route. You have been warned. Dave.

    We discovered that the problem with fully solid state juicers is the power rating capacity. One loco mostly seems to be fine but beware of locos that draw more current than the juicer components can handle. Dave.
  20. dasatcopthorne
    I'm trying again with smaller file sizes.
  21. dasatcopthorne
    Today at Anerley. Make of them what you will. If you share on please Credit me.

    We had a group of turnouts and a diamond needing 6 frogs controlled. We first fitted solid state juicers but 2 kept blowing. We've now changed to Gaugemaster solid state and they have proved very reliable on an intensive exhibition layout. Would recommend. Dave.

    I have been back to Anerley this morning as I realised that there was some data missing and that the bridge parapet was unusually low. I'll post the shots shortly. Dave.
  24. dasatcopthorne
    Why not use coloured felt tips? Dave.
  25. dasatcopthorne
    Guys. Does anyone know if there is a standard 'clearance from rail to underside of a bracket signal on Non-Overhead lines please. Dave.
