Bill Radford replied to Erlestokemanor7812's topic in Exhibitions
Great show - many layouts not seen before, liked Southgate Park a lot. First retail therapy since Stafford 2020 so turned out enjoyable but expensive!! -

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.)

Orange cantrail lining - when was it introduced?
Bill Radford replied to Lee-H's topic in UK Prototype Questions
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. -

Curved track on a double-track railway

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!!! -
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!

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.
