    I would think it is more difficult in 4mm (heavier stock) but I have several Kato N gauge EMU sets from the 90”s which have tiny scale size (as good as it gets) delner couplings which “click” fasten together, it’s a nice feature and when I first saw them was really pleased and surprised. Its a great upgrade to the poor line up of 4mm coupling types.

    What is the reason (or main reason) for swapping the rods?

    That XJ13 really does look sublime, what a beauty.

    Which proves we will have to wait for the ironwork in our mitts.

    I use Trix-C track ready ballasted for reasons I won’t go into hear but you fix those down with really high quality screws from Trix/Maerkin, beauty of them is if you need to adjust or raise it’s a 10 second job. They are a cross head screw not a slot head as shown on the internet for some reason.

    Meh, they’re alright…… is that a transfer? 🤣
  7. boxbrownie
    I did and it appeared to be aimed specifically at myself, and wasn’t appreciated. That report did not say skimpy.
  8. boxbrownie
    A precedent? Pushing it a bit there you could fit three A2s in the Merc Froot 😁

    I was hoping there might be enough room to keep a charging lead at very least, always awkward keeping them in the trunk when it’s packed

    Well it probably varies to a degree by whose CCU your are using, keep us informed on the Easishunts. Couplers that are perfect are the modellers dream..

    Is that true? Not that I doubt you…..and people moan about this new subscription for heated seats because you bought a car and cannot access everything built on it.
  12. boxbrownie
    Yes but no deserved criticism results in less than perfect products. I criticised the flanges on the pony trucks of the TT Pacific’s because they look too big, but I did say it needs to be seems in the flesh, and the final production versions before we can decide one way or the other. I personally like (very much) the launch of TT120, I just hope Hornby follow through.

    Indeed the painkillers made from old depleted uranium shells help a lot* 😁 but what they send you home with are a bit less effective, I had my right knee done in 2020 in between lockdowns, it has been brilliant. You correct post op exercise and stretching in the first month is the most important bit, kneeling is a killer for sure because of the internal scarring so when I get knighted I have an excuse in front of the King 👍 *of which I’ve just had my third lot today…..yeah man….floating over the bed here.🤪

    Yes it bloomin’well is appropriate thank you for your suggestion, last thing I need to be doing at my age and with asthma is breathing in cold air all the time, you could turn you heating down a few more degrees to compensate for my heating being higher that way I can avoid catching pneumonia again this winter!

    As you say, moving on…..not that I am at the moment…… new left knee on Tuesday, stuck in hospital bed with a real achy leg now 😱 Watching the sunrise now…..no wind turbines 😂

    But it is if you feel so strongly about your countryside views👍

    My surroundings mean a lot to me also, but driving past something I don’t like doesn’t wind me up like that, it’s gone in a minute. If it were the seventies again I’d say take a chill pill man 🕺
  18. boxbrownie
    OK I get you feel strongly but it’s a very extreme reaction to something you might see only very occasionally, I assume you don’t live within sight of one right now 😃

    What’s handy with the m/KWh figure is if you go for a test drive, zero the display and drive like you normally do for a nice long hour test drive, it really annoys the salesman (we did this with the i3 from Exeter we ended up touring around Torbay before going back to the dealer, he kept saying “if you turn right here, it’ll take us back” 🤣) and at the end of the drive you have a good representation of what you will get, then it’s easy to find the range YOU will get from the battery.

    I did say it was a useless implementation 😂
  21. boxbrownie
    It’s odd the both Audi and MB EVs have such poor implementation of their systems that make them so poor, especially as BMW has some of the best efficiency, even in the behemoths. Our i3 gives us an easy 4.5 summer and 3.8 winter, the bigger vehicle slightly less of course, but still far better than their German competitors.
  22. boxbrownie
    But surely if it’s a normal system not a smart tado or some such where individual radiators are controlled remotely, your still sending central heating hot water to every other radiator in the house even thought thermostat is measuring the room it’s in. We have just all the radiators in the rooms we don’t use regularly (or live in more accurately) turned down to minimum, it’s about half the rooms in the house give or take.

    I’m not sure they mean wearing a G-String
  24. boxbrownie
    Wow such an extreme view.

    They work perfectly when modified as I described on all my CCU fitted stock. I had issues with Kadees on the AS Deltic CCU components when fitted but after modding they work great, I think the AS CCU component has some stiction in some units and it causes issues.
