I agree , however who wants to watch Versatappen or whoever the current "top gun" win all the time . It is totally boring its supposed to be entertainment !! Sadly it is now all mainly about whoever has the most money . Hands up, I much prefer BTCC nowdays !!

Hamilton should have gone to RB then we see some proper racing. Perez cant cope with the pressure ,and was a very sad sight at the end of 2023, I doubt he will last half the current season. Albon return ??.

I would suggest new wheelset . The Gear is knackered and i doubt glue will hold it for very long. https://Bachmann-spares.co.uk/product/category/833/7f-wheelset---black-31-010/e3101-103-01

Photo 86 looks like a similar Midland wagon ??.

Sadly HMRS products are very poor the last time I used them (alignment) . I would also go to Fox or Railtec

Look at all their reports over the years and you will see a common pattern of etc etc !!!

Smoke and Mirrors and Sweeping Statements commonly known as Bull Ship !! . Unless every 'first time buyer" answered a questionarre saying so?, simply impossible for Hornby or anyone else to know or prove otherwise. Hornby live in hope.

Latest update on the A2 . Loco body is 99% finished . Need final filler clean up and a location holes drilled for Three "Levers" on the Offside next to the Firebox , they will be fitted last as will other Brass fittings after painting and decalling. Cab interior to be painted then the Cab Roof will then be fitted and exterior painted etc. Chassis will be sorted once the Drivers arrive (thanks to Daddyman). I emailed Squires who list Romfords, and they have'nt even had the courtesy of a reply so far after three days.

Sorry they are 20 spoke , I need the 22 spoke version. Thanks for looking.

They are the tapped Nickel Silver rims versions . 26mm 22 spoke. No Balance weights. Thanks for looking.

I use ebay all the time . The minor problem is I only need two .All on ebay seem to be always sets of six. I doubt if anybody would spilt the sets they are trying to sell off. A couple (I need one insulated and one plain) will turn up, I am in no rush at the moment.

They obviously never learned with the broken fronts on the W1, from a similar cause.

Wanted !! I have now got to the chassis stage on the A2 and found that about 25 years ago DJH managed to supply 4 x 26mm plain and insulated Driving wheels , and for what ever reason they also include one insulated and one plain 27mm Drivers, all in the original still sealed bag !! Obviously the 27mm versions are not a lot of good 25 years on. Has anybody got a spare pair of 26mm Romford drivers with Nickel Silver tyres versions, one in Plain and one Insulated, without the cast balance weights versions please. A good price will be paid for them. No one seems to sell the Romford or Markits versions at the moment. Wizard are out of the modern version. Thanks.

Leave it well alone. Removing the Crest will leave marks/shadow on the paint, varnishing may or may not hide the marks.

No interest multi coloured Milk Floats at best. Processional racing at at some poor/very poor temporary "circuits".

I have never seen/read anything relating to Sentinels being used for anything ,other than for normal passenger use.

Last LNER Sentinel Railcar was withdrawn in 1948 . According to attached link East Anglia based Sentinels finished by around 1939 . https://www.lner.info/locos/Railcar/sentinel.php
