I can't see an option with a flashing tail light anywhere

The feathers that I have used with Eckon signals have a curved base so not suitable for square-headed signals. But I guess you could cut that bit off and fashion the attachment some other way; e.g. cut a slot in top and glue in. I can't see why 2 feathers won't fit on this type of signal but that would mean 12 wires fitting inside the post - not sure they're big enough.

But why do you need feathers with a junction signal - surely the green light would indicate the path?

I've just found the email in my junk mail - there's no way I would open an email from such a dodgy looking address anyway. As I'm fully paid up for this I have no intention of doing anything further.

On a separate note, I recently managed to look through the original 66's which I purchased from Hattons, and hadn't realised they were delivered with the buffer beam detail added to one end - will the A/S models be similarly delivered?

Love it! I'm exactly the same - although I do have to walk to switch some points

So I’ve wired up my DS by powering the outer stock rails but all locos stop dead on it. So I think I’m gonna do the scary job of lifting it and replacing the IRJs with standard ones. 

Before you do that have you thought of manually connecting the DS to the adjoining tracks using just pieces of wire of, if you have them, crocodile clips? Might identify a simpler fix than the drastic move you're thinking of.

I’ve a feeling they may be inundated with emails from people who don’t know their order number. I don’t know why I can’t find the email, have tried searching for 37714, HTG, various combinations of heavy, tractor and group….

Sender of order confirmation is heavytractorgroup.org if that helps

Why not use their phone no?

We still get deliveries six days a week here, but we are seeing less parcel farce vans, they are carrying more small parcels with the normal postie.

A deliberate spelling mistake?

 Don't blame you in the slightest for letting it run on your Welsh layout!

Well the language looks very similar so doesn't look out of place!

Can anybody tell me where 60062 can be seen on the network please? If it's anywhere 'up North-East' I might be tempted.

How does York compare in size to Warley?

I’ve tried to look on here for an answer on this page but can’t find it, Accurascale team might be able answer?I’ve recently pre ordered 66779 non sound as the sound was out of stock, can I be put on a list if the opportunity arises if there is a DCC sound available or will the 66 be able to buy and fit the sound chip and speaker to the loco? 👍🏻

Click on the 'Email me if becomes available' link on the A/S page containing the model you want

For another £90 you can  add a Bachmann Class 90 to the IZA's - https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/82055/K9925-Bachmann-Class-90---Revolution-Cargowaggon-Pack

I hope Tim & Siddy have been out with their camera crew recording this unique event - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12531239/I-thought-Id-lost-mind-12-hour-night-shift-Confused-Londoners-slam-decision-rename-Bond-Street-Burberry-Street-mark-London-fashion-week.html

Whilst I applaud this initiative (I lost my father to PC a few years ago) is it not unfair that A/S are providing the donation out of their profits - would it not perhaps be better if there was a slight premium added to the cost so the public were funding the donation. Say make 2,000 exclusive models and add £5. Just a thought if this is going to be an ongoing situation.

 I also installed "ferrules" into which the twisted wire is inserted and the end crimped.  This improves the grip in the screw terminal of the choc block.

@brossardWhat size ferrules did you use for the terminal block connections please?

Well, that’s an impressive display in the second photograph, even without any class 50 diesels, class 89 electric, nuclear wagons, HUO wagons, chaldron wagons, NER 20T hoppers, and 16T  mineral wagons!  There’s quite a lot more on the way.

I think it highly unlikely A/S would provide samples of forthcoming models as you suggest

In the FIFA World Cup final competition, the refs. are brought together and given a "standardisation" course, so that they know what's expected of them in terms of decision - making

I can't believe the IRB don't do something similar

I always think it's unfair that the All Blacks are allowed to perform this when no other nation has the option. I don't mind traditional games like the Barbarians, or even the British Lions when on tour, but for a 'normal' competitive game it should have been stopped years ago. I remember a story doing the rounds when Bill Beamount was being proposed for President of World Rugby, the All Blacks hierarchy were against his appointment as it was rumoured he was of the same opinion.

once again though the laws are ruining the game.   There was no way England should have been playing with 14 for that.   (There was a later moment with an Argentinian elbow to an English head which is surely just as damaging as head to head….)    These head impact rules have gone far too far if you can get a red despite wrapping and angling!

 

 

The Argentinian yellow should have been a straight red - jump in the air at speed, turn your back and make contact with arse against head - no mitigation whatsoever
