I tried my hand at a diesel over the weekend but didn't make a very good job of it. Slinging a load of muck on a wagon is easy. A subtle and realistic dusting of a loco that gets cleaned once a week is another thing entirely. Well done to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for that one last time that it gets hooked up and hauled to its fate. Are the crew waiting for the wind to die down a bit? I can see it's already blown a big tree over! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it's already blown a big tree over! Yes, I noticed that. There's also a bush that has been blown perilously close to the track There's also a section of track just before that turnout that I really ought to replace but frankly I think it's too much bother. Somehow despite using Setrack I ended up with a 100mm gap between the curve and the turnout and tried to fill it with flextrack. It barely worked and I had to fill in a gap with solder which the front bogie of my 4-6-2 doesn't like. Edited January 18, 2022 by AndrueC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is is derailing due to the solder on the inside of the track lifting the wheels? Can you heat it with a soldering iron and wick away the excess with some copper braid?

It's got to be worth a try. Attempting to remove 100mm of track then insert a fresh piece is never easy and the problem here is that that bit of track has to be slightly curved. Unfortunately I think I only have access from the wagon side (so the inside of the rail is facing away from me) so it won't be easy whatever I try and do.

RMweb Gold Popular Post MP40058 Posted January 19, 2022 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Now for my favourite class of locomotive! Haymarkets only allocated splitbox on the goods. The retooled Bachmanns are a pretty close example for OO scale. However, still had to add the obvious pipe under the cab, which should have been added to the retooled version, in my opinion.
