    Turkish? Mike.

    A me too post! I bought my Citroen C5 break ( the last of the proper wet suspension models) a few years back as I could see the writing on the wall, at my age and for the mileage I do it will see me out. Also, those of us like Andy and myself are far more environmentally friendly in whole life terms than the people who buy the latest "more economical/greener/facelifted" vehicles every 12 months, between us we've saved at least 20 cars being unnecessarily built. Mike.

    Not too bad at all. I've got a rake of Accurascale hoppers to do if you feel like a bit more practice! Mike.

    For those of us who are not such in depth aficionados of the Sweeney, I find this an interesting channel; https://www.youtube.com/@Sweenealogy Mike.

    But it's always the other drivers that are causing the problem! Mike.

    Lamp irons? Mike.

    Schroedinger's coaches? Mike.

    https://underhillroad.wordpress.com/sales-page-2/ Should be enough in there to keep you going! Mike.

    Like yourself, alarm bells ring when I see AI generated twaddle, although I find it an interesting, if not cringeworthy, spectator sport! Unless I could see through the AI smokescreen, I wouldn't be buying either, I fear eBay is shooting itself in the foot somewhat with these improvements. Mike.

    If you are not constantly coupling and uncoupling at the loco end then I don't think it would be a problem, and anyway, Smiths hooks are huuuuge, so that will help. Also, if you use flexible pipes that should help alleviate any interference issues. Mike.

    Very nice, can't beat a bit of cast ironmongery. Cut, glue, swear, repeat! Mike.

    Depending on the size and fit of course, but Shawplan etched frames and Laserglaze windows might simplify things? Mike.

    I don't whether it was the same in your period depending on which facilities were still open, but in my 60's/70's era the 08 had already done Armytages scrapyard and Central Wagon works and would sometimes have wagons in tow, and would go on to do the Brampton branch. Mike.

    It could be the originality and the packaging which is attracting these sales?, "collectors" if i dare say it. Mike.

    As to it's exact set up, I don't know, but I reckon it was used on occasions like one night when the incoming Brush 4 humped it's own train direct from the reception sidings, although it didn't go over the hump when finished. Mike.

    I'd be looking out for Wile E. Coyote! Mike.
  22. Enterprisingwestern
    There were also portable sets. Mike.
  23. Enterprisingwestern
    I thought scratch and sniff more advantageous! Mike.
  24. Enterprisingwestern
    I'm glad that chassis only has a vac pipe fixing point at one end, I was beginning to think it was just me! Mike.
  25. Enterprisingwestern
    That's why it's 72 quid! Mike.
