  1. More fodder for the ebay madness thread.....
  2. Great show - many layouts not seen before, liked Southgate Park a lot. First retail therapy since Stafford 2020 so turned out enjoyable but expensive!!
  3. 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.)
  4. 67020 back on more familiar duties - 0Z54 Crewe Electric TMD to Toton TMD towing 67013 & 66134 through Tutbury & Hatton at 1021 this morning.

  8. Why not? He's undercutting Rails...
  9. 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.
  10. According to RailCam "paint/vinyls". Looks like bogies etc have been sorted. Jack374's photos on AC thread show them better.
  11. Tutbury & Hatton 1024 this morning. 90021 behind 60044 Downlow and 66082 on its way to Toton from Crewe Electric for "paint/vinyls".
  12. 0Z54 Crewe Electric to Toton through Hatton at 1024 this morning. 60044 Downlow towing 66082 and 90021.
  13. 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!!
  14. The point was that Rails want £595 for the RAF 91 - pre-owned!!!
  15. Clicked the link but took me here instead! RAILS!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/25051301067?iid=284611791621
  16. Have used A4 self adhesive sheets with Scalscenes type card modelling with good sucess so tried it for slabs on platforms and textured / yellow lines on edges on top of plasticard - not sucessful - bubbled up - may be due to changes in temperature in attic.
  17. 3Z17 Crewe to Derby RTC through Hatton 11:25 this morning with DTC 9714 leading 37612.
  18. https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/maps/ https://www.railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php# A couple that I find of use and a thumbs-up for the Scottish O/S site.
  19. Scroll down for first vid - time lapse I'm afraid but will show you the modern way. https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/our-routes/east-midlands/midland-main-line-upgrade/derby-resignalling-project/
  20. https://proses.com/prestashop/track-laying-tools/22-ho-oo-scale-adjustable-parallel-track-tool-8680979260401.html I've found these are the best thing since somebody invented the knife to cut bread never mind sliced bread!!!
  21. Slightly OT - at a Toy Fair at Donnington Park a few years back there was a stand selling large scale trucks with prices quoted in euros!
  22. 0K37 - Toton North Yard to Crewe Basford Hall passing through Tutbury & Hatton Station 1129 this morning. 56302 PECO The Railway Modeller 2016 70 Years.
  23. I'd maybe put it a few years earlier. I started school Jan '58 at Mickleover Infants (Now home to Mickleover MRC!) and Mickleover Junior had just opened and that had that type of fencing round it when I moved there in 1960.
