Baggies1961 Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 A tad disappointed that during the show on Saturday the Dapol VEA couplings came apart on three wagons, has this occurred with anyone else? A challenge to reassemble with dodgy eyes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are a bu**er to sort out. Are these the ones with the pins or the circlip? Paul R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted March 26, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 26, 2023 At least they came with the couplings - most of my minerals are missing the 3 links which are prone to just falling off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Hal, Very true these have the advantage of being attached through the hook but just arent strong enough it appears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Took two the Granddaughters out this morning so an excuse to go down to the railway. A set of buffers were sourced for the brake van so hopefully soon we will be able to offer brake van rides. The members who renovated the BV have done a fantastic job. For safety boards, will be added underneath the bars on the verandah. This van came from the GWR at Toddington Glos. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 A couple of Spartans arrived today. A bit of prep work to do. Unfortunately one rear mud flap broke off so that had to be stuck first. Pretty pleased with them. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold ChrisS Posted June 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 11, 2023 Looking good - I like the look of the later Spartans with the modified headlights and front flaps. I've ordered a second Spartan and some military wheel chocks too, so looking forward to getting them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look good on the well wagon. A pity that trains4u have no plans to upscale their MOD flat. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
