  1. Re the discussion on tractor loads. Taken at Quainton Road in 2006. Definitely chains in use on the Conflat but not sure how representative it is
  2. I have used the frog juicers and haven't had any issue with sparks. They operate without any issues. Have a Gaugemaster version which works well too. Simon
  3. Hi, Piano wire is available from Eileen's Emporium. Regards Simon
  4. Please keep the photos coming Rob, I really appreciate your efforts. Cheers Simon
  5. My partner thinks she knows how many locomotives are to many....Of course she is mistaken...
  6. Thank you all for your advice. More power did the trick with the application of two 12 V DC power supplies. Cheers Simon
  7. Hi, I'm trying to wire several Tortoise Switch machines following the wiring guide in the instructions. I have chosen method two which is the bi polar method using two 6 volt DC transformers wired in series. Getting power to the machines but nothing happens! any advice greatly appreciated.

    New OO gauge Class 73

    Hi, Just received an Email from Rails of Sheffield cancelling my order for a green Class 73 (Dapol DCC fitted Class 73 4D-006-004D), very disappointing. All Rails would say is that they were no longer getting this item from Dapol and therefore had to cancel my order. Can anyone shed any light on this? Many thanks Simon
  10. Anyone fitted a decoder? Regards Simon
  11. I have bought all insulated wheels from SE Finecast, you just have to ask them. Regards Simon
  12. Tony, Ray and Keith, I really enjoyed my two visits to Little Bytham. Thank you so much. The layout is superb and the camaraderie fantastic. Cheers Simon
  13. Yes please. Put me down for half a dozen so I can retire my Triang Hornby fleet. never quite got to grips with Ian Rices detailing process.
  14. Same thing happened to me two weeks ago. I chased them up via the chat line and got a similar response. My order was dispatched two days later. Cheers Simon
  15. I'm on my third BG. The first one arrived with one of the driving wheels off its axle due to a cracked boss. The replacement suffered the now familiar motor failure in the front unit. Hattons swapped out this unit and now the third iteration is running happily with 50 minerals. Maybe it's third time lucky. Living in New Zealand its a long way to return models that are faulty, happily Hattons refunded my postage costs on each occasion. Regards Simon
  16. The price looks particularly sharp when compared to a model such as the Bachmann Tube Wagon.
  17. Hattons will refund your postage but you do have to ask. They have done so for me on several occasions. Cheers Simon
  18. Hatton's have just Emailed advising it will be in stock this week
  19. I sent them an expression of interest last week and received an acknowledgement.

    Dapol 'Western'

    According to an Email from Kernow I received 1st September, my sound equipped Western Princess had been packed and was ready for dispatch. As it has to travel to the other side of the world I'm hoping it will arrive here sometime this coming week.

    Heljan Class 16

    I compromise with fitting couplings; just install a Kadee on the rear end preserving the buffer beam detail at the front. Cheers Simon
