Not just used, but abused...

 

50p in the bargain bin would be pushing it!

 

Its probably another new trainee.  Perhaps they get a small bonus and the offer of a more "permanent" job if they reach certain targets?

 

If you go to the Model Shop Guide thread you'll find that Rails were advertising for staff a couple of months back...

Look for the comment that I made at the time...

It went to Toton to drop off the 60, then returned to Longport, and has since moved to Eastleigh for painting.

The platform wibble is two-tone green

A bit of a guess - been waiting for the site to get back to 'normal' before posting. Of course it's Colas who use Eastcroft.

Disappearing in a cloud of dust towards North Staffs Junction!

Just bought the new 800 201 - lights extreamly bright but no noticable light bleed in normal lighting, very obvious when room is dark. The 'drivers' door seems to be painted clear plastic.

Apologies if this has already been posted, couldn't see it anywhere. A friend of mine pointed this out to me yesterday which I thought may be of interest.

More fodder for the ebay madness thread.....

Great show - many layouts not seen before, liked Southgate Park a lot.

First retail therapy since Stafford 2020 so turned out enjoyable but expensive!!

Platform 5 1990...

BFK

Mk2 - 3

Mk2a - 6

I had a similar problem with Bachmann DMUs (running solo). It seemed as though there were phases of "free- wheeling" down the slope and then the motor slowing the unit down (as if in a lower gear). I solved the problem by inserting foam above the non-powered axles - as the 20s are powered on all axles I appreciate that this is not possible.

(Running DC using both Morley and Gaugemaster controllers.)

'This locomotive is in excellent condition and DCC fitted. Boxed'

Its annoying seeing how many ebay sellers are trying to fob off knackered Hornby 31's as good condition for £100 or  over. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-class-31-Dutch-livery-/175146338816?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Why not?

He's undercutting Rails...

Loooking back at P5 books from the 80s the earliest coaches with the orange stripe were the ScotRail Mk3 blue stripe push-pull sets from 1985. No other coaches or locos (apart from a/c electrics) appear to have them in the 1986 book. Seem to start appearing in 1986 dated photos in the 1987 book.

60044 looks lovely with its grubby DB livery. Interesting to see that 90021 might be off for a repaint!

According to RailCam "paint/vinyls". Looks like bogies etc have been sorted. Jack374's photos on AC thread show them better.

How long has 90021 sat stationary for? Must be a fair fee years. Good to know its going back into service though.

 

 

According to 2018 P5 book was stored at that time.

Wasn't that the one that kicked off the entire debate in the first place? 

It could have...

I'm so gobsmacked at prices like these from a supposedly reputable shop that I've lost the plot!!!

It must be another work experience intern!!
