With regards to the roof equipment moulding, I had half an hour spare earlier so had a go at painting the insulators and busbars. I painted a thin coat of Klear on first and then added the paint. Will give a second coat tomorrow.

It is a very smooth runner. Certainly a lot quieter than the old version. Cheers Simon

Hi Stephen, The Dapol Mk3s are done the same (not checked my Farish MK1/2s), sort of half way, they are in line with the gangway when for coupled, the buffers should have the saddles removed and pushed back, coupled to a loco (not using buckeye) the buffers should extend past the gangway. I think all model locos 33/1, 73/coaches which feature this coupling arrangement (even in 4mm) have had a compromise in this area. Cheers Simon

90019 Penny Black on hire to Virgin trains. Mine has just arrived and it is a stunning model (dare I say model of the year??), done several laps of the layout in push mode with a rake of 8 Dapol mk3s and a DVT and through a few different crossovers in the fiddleyard again in push mode with no derailments etc.

Thanks Rich, yes think my big coat might be wise, I do have a portable oil fired radiator but very reluctant to plug it in and switch on! Noticed some of the locos I have tried have been slow to get going and need a few circuits to warm them up. Not really had an issue with this before but then the radiator was probably used more to keep the chill off. Cheers Simon
