Early on the Holyhead trains were made up of 3 sets.The 5 sets are more of a 70s thing, in the 60s not many outers had been built, so 1x8 would be more typical.

The resolution is not good enough to be sure but I think what you are seeing is the ballast load and the chains that operate the doors on a rake of Mermaids that is behind the plates.

The fillers are not just for the toilets, there would also be a water tank for the Buffet with fillers.Originally there were 4 steps to the left of the gangway which required a full length handrail if there was not a filler there, see photo 2 above, note no nozzle at the bottom and it does not extend across the roof, and the top three steps have been removed.

They are not H type containers which are much smaller than that, they are close to the size of a C type container but slightly longer, but they don't have any container type markings so I don't think they are containers.Aren't they just wooden crates

Aston Martin and Napier have used 'British Racing Green' that is lighter than GWR/BR green, there is no specific shade for British Racing Green, different teams, manufacturers, individual drivers have used many different shades. https://petrolicious.com/articles/a-colorful-history-of-national-racing-hues-british-racing-green-2-of-4

Sounds good to me too, more space for the same money, excellent.

I haven't built the legs for Nowhere Tunnel yet, so could build them with a removable section to suit the stage height.

ZIMO did, it has been the default action for several years, but you can overide this and choose which direction it drives.

With the typical express-net flat cable and a large setup it is better to have the power distributed rather than feeding from a single point.

I have a Lenz system with 4 throttles. Also have a made up connector for additional power to express-net, and components and suitable power supplies to make at least two more.

The later facelift version is more common but I did find this one https://www.na3t.org/road/photo/BC00044-21

I have built some boards that only differ from the standards by the between board fixing, could easily be adapted if any further modular meeting were to happen.

Yes the roof vents and exhaust ports are the same as 105s (except only one exhaust on the 112) The RCTS photographic archive has some good photos but most are mis-catalogued as 105s E.g. http://rcts.zenfolio.com/diesel/br/dmu-1xx/105/eA0F824B8 http://rcts.zenfolio.com/diesel/br/dmu-1xx/105/eA0F82697

Your description still implies that you are only fitting one resistor per end, you need one resistor for the red led and another for the white led at each end, so a total of 4 resistors.Perhaps a diagram of how you have wired them would help

The D1905s converted for the coronation scot had the water filler pipes at the brake end. I have also seen photos of D1905 with pipes at the brake end but not any where the number is readable. I know the first class coronation scot coaches retained the roof trunking but did the thirds? Or there may have been a batch of D1905 with the pipes at the opposite end to the majority.

Am I missing somthing here, isn,t the 4 shoe morton with cross shaft a very unlikley brake arrangement for these PO minerals?

Well they were introduced in 1967, about a year before the ISO adopted the standards but they are to the same standards.

Found another photo of a container livery as modelled by triang on IMCDb.org. William Donald/Sainsbury http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/00-11tksains.jpg

What are the dimensions of these buffers, the website quotes the head diameter but not the length.

No it is the earlier mk1 cab which I think makes it a silver knight.https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=atkinson+silver+knight+rtb&client=tablet-android-asus-tpin&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7rsfBuezYAhXLL8AKHdbwAFIQ_AUIESgB&biw=962&bih=601#imgrc=vRD0iUvtpXWmAM: Here is an Ebbw Vale ERF https://hiveminer.com/Tags/bseries,tipper/Timeline

You need to plug one multimaus into the master socket using a 6-wire cable, I guess this is the flat cable in your photo. Then you plug any additional multimaus into the slave socket via the panels as required. The panels seem to have a power input socket so I would guess the switch is to choose between power from the slave socket or from an additional power supply, normal is probably correct in your case.

As has been said some systems all ready do that. What is missing is a means to transfer that info between systems from different manufacturers. Most modern systems have USB/LAN/Wi-Fi so a physical means of connection all ready exists, only needs a standard for the format of that info to be decided upon and write the code to implement it. There is an existing standard that is open source and requires no licensing fees. The JMRI roster file, a simple version would only need data for CV's 1,17,18 and 29 and the loco name, but could optionally include names for function buttons.

I don't think it can, the mx634 is the only one can be converted between C and D by writing to cv8.

The ZIMO mx644D has standard function outputs for the 5th and 6th outputs, the mx644C is the alternative version with logic outputs for the 5th and 6th outputs that is required for the Dapol 68.The Dapol instructions still recomend the incorrect mx644D as they did on the first releases.

The BT cab is supposed to be the same type, it is just a very bad model.Road Transport Images do produce the correct 1964 version http://www.roadtransportimages.com/online-shop/item/103-bmc-fj-1964-f-c-cab-with-vac-glazing
