Looking good Chris!

 

Should down well with the 'Barnstaple' visitors.

 

Give me a call on Friday to confirm ETA. My number on the correspance.

Did you get my email re the food choices for Saturday night?

 

Bacon rolls on order for Saturday morning!

Don't forget your mugs for the tea / coffee!

 

See you Friday.

Yes will phone eta to you once we've loaded up. Ah, must check emails after being away. Have found our TG mugs.

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...

I think we're staying Friday AND Saturday nights - surely that counts. Plus I spend about 8 days a year in Teignmouth... Case closed.

 

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.......

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....

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.

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'.
