bridgiesimon Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 All wheels now cleaned ready for the weekend - locos, coaches and wagons as there is no point cleaning all your loco wheels and track if the first train you run smears dirt back on. I am also well on with a new pair of locos, should be ready for the weekend, couplings, coal, plates and weathering to do, oh yeah and the 56xx needs the front handrail added. At the rear is a 56xx 0-6-2T - Langley kit body on a Grafar 94xx chassis with additional pony wheels. Nearer the camera is a 2251 0-6-0 Collett goods, also a Langley kit running on a Grafar 94xx chassis. They are both running very smoothly and am delighted with them so far.

RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted March 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2020 This is a little gem of a layout, some lovely modelling. I hadn't found it until now. What couplings are you using? Best Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgiesimon Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Thank you for your comments, I am using MBD coupings, available from N Brass Locos - https://www.nbrasslocos.co.uk/fitcoach.html Code: 23842 No price listed at the moment so no idea what is going on, maybe an email his way to confirm would be best, I will need more soon any way. They are similar to DG couplings but have an etched loop so easier to make - I made up and fitted 5 pairs of couplings this evening in about an hour for a show this weekend. (More details further back in the thread - page 2 I think) Best wishes Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridgiesimon Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 An update, Nick sent me a test fret to try out a fret as he has had a couple of complaints recently that the etches were problematic. I tried making them up and found that they were perfectly good, folded well and make up easily so no idea what the issue was the other customer had. Fingers crossed they will be available again soon.
