I believe the Monmouth castings - incl. the GPO handcart -  are now with P&D Marsh:

Ah, I've tended to forget about them, thinking of them as mostly N stuff, I have used their figures in the past though, a few loco crews and there's quite a few miners coming off shift on Greyscroft Mine. It looks like a fair bit of their range may have been Monmouth, they even use the PW### catalogue numbers.

Not quite as pretty from this side.

Spotted P3 No 1025 shunting.

 

 

 

It looks like you have the P3 on the close coupled hole. I've just attempted this on mine, and the fall plate touches the vertical part of the tender handbrake, preventing it from turning right. It looks like your fall plate is lifted in the video. Did you notice this problem?

Simple reason why it's lifted up is because it's stiff, if I'd noticed it I'd have pushed it down! The drag beam is on the short setting and the fall plate has been trimmed to clear everything, still really a mm or two too far apart.

Got a job done tonight that I've wanted to do for a while, the electrical connection between the baseboards has been up to now wires in a Choc block, this is a faff on if either if them needed moving so I ordered some hefty pre-wired jack plugs and sockets to replace this and also the wires to the cassette which was 2 wires with crocodile clips on to the rails at the far end, just occasionally there's a dead short and I wonder what is wrong with the loco... no, croc clips touching!

How did you go about trimming the fall plate?

Insulated croc clips can solve that one, but I prefer your solution.  Neat.

Paul.
