Indomitable026 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yes I'll bring it along and NO it stays firmly in Devon!! PS. Fancy a Western.....? My latest acquisition :-) You'll have to move to Devon, spams.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Could do worse young Spams! A friend has an 'O' gauge layout with 120' continuous run. Ideal for testing 1366s!! Also for running in Class 52s, but that's another story........ Now they are what I know as DitD, not this Class 37 malarky! Sounds ideal. 120 foot run - straight in to the sea...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted July 21, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2014 However very few places do Doom Bar and pasties (notice that I didn't say none, but not together). I wish I could get to Barny this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted July 21, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2014 There's loads of alternative names that I have heard. Still miss the place though. I am in Bognor Regis Saturday morning so the earliest I could get there is 16.35,, but did try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted July 21, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2014 At least whilst in Devon you'll be able to get a proper pint of cider. It might even have some pips in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 You'll have to move to Devon, spams....

I'm worried about getting the cream and jam on my scone in the right order. In Yorkshire they put cream on, then jam, then the butter....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 Mmmm, may need to set up a workbench in the van on the way down. It's taking about 90mins to fully dismantle clean and reassemble a Hornby spam. Just like the real thing they get oil everywhere. In this case it interferes with the stupid pick-up connection. Fancy relying on a stud contact to transmit current from the pick-up strip to the motor wires. They really need hard wiring but that's for another day....

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 Battling on... I think I've found a cure for the annoying squeaking sound that the Hornby tender pick ups can make. Take wheels out of the tender. Clean treads and backs with IPA. Apply a 4B pencil (that's all I could find) to the wheel backs. Apparently the graphite in the pencil acts as a lubricant and is conductive. The pick-ups now glide over the wheel backs. The tender on 34033 'Chod' was always a bad squeaker and is now almost silent. I can't claim this one, read it somewhere, and it does apparently work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 21, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2014 Note, the graphite only works on DC control. Not much good for DCC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 OK, it's quiz time. How on earth do you get the body off one of Bachmann's BR Std 4MT tank? I've run out of screws to undo and the chassis and body are still one! Edit: looks like others have had issues too: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/30893-removing-body-off-Bachmann-standard-4mt/. Clearly a case of 'design not very clever'.
