  1. Hi Brian hope you are well I disappear for a few months and I find out you are moving and this amazing layout will be gone. I need to come on here more often in future. mark
  2. That is some loco Brian, well done buddy. I’ve been to busy for modelling at the moment due to house work and life getting in the way, but reading your progress has got me chomping at the bit to pull my finger out lol keep up the good work bud

  4. It’s good to see you back on here buddy. have you looked at slaters, I’m sure they do the limestone. As for your face painting I know what trauma you have faced with (no pun intended ) Emily did that to me but got her older brother and sister to hold me down lol glad to see you on here bud
  5. If it was like last year, this show will be amazing looking forward to it
  6. That looks amazing, very impressive. Modelling at its best. I’ve built the Stevenson carriage ones ( needed 8 to run my mail train ) I was going to modify some Hornby ones but a close friend ( passed away in 2020) Persuaded me to get them and now they are A tribute to him.
  7. Well bucks lane went to the LYDCC show at the Masonic hall and it worked well. here are a few shots of it
  8. There are 2 types of x8849 one is 26teeth thin cog is bigger than the fat one (that’s not the one ) and the other one is a thin small gear and a larger thick gear. It’s the second one I need. I have 3 of the 26 teeth ones but I need the 21 teeth version. Or a gear from another part no
  9. Hi all I’ve got a problem with one of my black 5 locos, the main gear has split but the part I need X8849 21 teeth but cannot get hold of one anywhere. is there another part I can use it’s the one where the 2 gears are together and it’s the small thin 21 tooth gear that has split thanks mark towers

  13. I disappear for seven months, then come back and the layout has come on leaps and bounds you've done a good job Jeff keep up the good work bud regards Mark
  14. I have had a few problems with Hornby and the mazak Rot. move spoken to Hornby and they have been so helpful and sorted the locos out free of charge, even when they have been over 10 years old. the latest one was a class 31 I bought years ago on eBay, spoke to them and they have agreed to replace it. Because I bought it in working order and over time it failed

  18. Hi Jeff and all. hope all is ok, looks like Jeff has been busy. looks amazing buddy keep up the good work
  19. You are right, sorry. We have a few types on the patch and even the old LMS top winders at Hellifield.
  20. I’ve been watching your videos on the layout, absolutely stunning Richard. your attention to detail is brilliant keep up the good work St Simon them point motors we call them M63 or knuckle scrapers we still have a few on the patch.
  21. Mike you know where I am only a phone call away buddy sorry for you loss bud
  22. This is the reason why. Hand built points keep failing.
  23. Bucks lane won’t be there unfortunately, the layout requires some TLC after it’s move. I was asked if I could bring it but it needs a bit of work to get it back to a standard I’m happy with I should say it will be ready by the end of December beginning of January. I should update this post more often or I might get told off
  24. Hi buddy that is some garage buddy. Looks like I might have to go EM
