    With all these N gauge 59's on the way, we are going need wagons, LOTS of wagons!😮

    Did you buy the loco new? is there a chance that one or more of the gears are fitted the wrong way round? Have you tried a small spot of epoxy resin on the shaft to keep the gears in place? Cheers Mark

    A class 85 would be good! Cheers Mark

    Count me in for at least a 10 wagon rake in original ARC colours, my new 59's need them along with PTA and PGA. Cheers Mark
  5. scruff
    I'm another one who would be up for a rake of these in N. Cheers Mark

    I love mine but would prefer the colours to be the correct ones.. just my thoughts, I would still buy either if I'm honest. Cheers Mark

    An 8 coach Mk2 Manchester pullman in Executive livery would suit me down to the ground, 86 or 87 hauled of course.. Just need the roarers and APTP then.. Watched a youtube video yesterday, It had a mk3 rake with one Mk3 pullman and a standard FO arriving in Manchester Piccadilly in 1989. Cheers Mark

    Having ordered a sound fitted 59/1 at a minute to midnight last night, i have a question.. Will the sound chips be available separately to allow us to upgrade the DCC ready versions to sound? I only ask as I have ordered 3 DCC ready ones and would love more sound fitted versions. Cheers Mark

    Superb as usual Mark. your photo's of the layout are fantastic. They make you think you are really there. hopefully control will put a 33 on the Cardiff soon! Keep up the good work. Cheers Mark

    Dapol have said they are supplying corrected bodyshells for the Strathclyde 156. 10/10 to Dapol in my book. Cheers Mark

    Those springs look like N gauge coupling springs..

    I already suggested the 47 to Dapol.. They were not keen on the idea. cheers Mark

    Isn't there new announcements this week? Cheers Mark

    I believe the speed issue is how the 56 was designed, the 58 is the same. Very good slow speed running though! Cheers mark

    Just checked and in every photo of a 47/7 I've got, not one has ploughs fitted from plain blue to privatisation liveries.

    These trailers are 16' 4" (12'1" body) on a 4' 3" fifth wheel. If you lift the axle on a Scania unit it raises the 5th wheel by 3". This makes your trailer 16'7" tall.. Only bridges under 16'6" have to be marked and even 16'3" bridges are in a grey area! You are totally right about the thankless task! Enjoy your retirement! cheers mark

    That is how it should run. i got mine checked at the shop and it was confirmed this is correct. It is to do with scale speeds and inertia. Cheers Mark

    I've got a few 47's from Farish, all bought new and every single one of them was smothered in oil from the factory. 47535 managed to split 5 out of 6 axle gears. Apart from that they are all good runners.. Cheers Mark

    This is a great idea.. but I do feel the coach numbers should be changed. If the numbers were changed I would definitely buy another set. Cheers Mark

    To be fair to Dapol regarding the Class 50, The Dutch one is available from DCC Suplies. Also they have not long released the first batch and have already said they are doing a second run which should include revised Network Southeast. It was originally planned for later this year before circumstances overtook them. Dapol have said that three tone Railfreight is not a good seller for them. As for Farish, I can't believe they have not released a BR Blue 47 with headlight.. Roll on the Mk2's though! Cheers Mark
  24. scruff
    I'd have a few Mk2 a/b/c too.. Cheers mark

    The simple way to improve everyones driving is remove airbags, seatbelts, abs, esp and everything else safety related. Then fit the steering wheel with a large pointed metal spike. Driving standards would then improve dramatically, especially after the first couple of weeks! Cheers Mark
