enginelane Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 The cvirus situation has meant that Troutons appearances at York and Wakefield have been put on hold until 2021 so looking like Troutons is available for 2021 if anyone else wishes to book it. As posted elsewhere there will be no annual exhibition for Wakefield RMS in 2020. when the situation becomes clearer an event of some sort will be planned. York Easter 2021 Wakefield September 2021 - new date of 4th 5th September at a new venue Queen Elizabeth Grammar School. The changes are because the existing venue of Thornes Park Sports Centre will be under going refurbishment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Busy re spraying. Here is his latest loco. needs more ETH sockets, anyone know a supplier? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack374 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 2 hours ago, enginelane said: needs more ETH sockets, anyone know a supplier? Looking good! I’m debating whether to do that loco too... Regarding ETH sockets, Heljan's mouldings have long been the best and most available in my eyes, Howes sometimes stock them or eBay. Failing that, Shawplan do some cast white metal ones I think or PH Designs do some 3D printed ones on Shapeways, which come in a tad pricey IMHO... I've always had issues finding any so resorted to scratch building from bent plastic rod at a right angle, chopped up and with some mounting plates made from plastic.
