Thanks - will try it

Hi All - Cleveland Model Railway Club - based in Skelton - is seriously thinking of modelling Brotton Station in O-Gauge. We will have 7 or 8, 4ft X 2ft boards plus fiddle yard at one end so at first glance should be able to get it all in. Anyone got any layout plans, photos etc they are willing to share? Thanks in advance Howard Wilson member CMRC

Hi all. I recently aquired a rake of six Trix - Twin side tipping hoppers. I hope to change the wheels to enable them to run on my H D 3-rail layout and to get them working. Does anyone know how these work? Regards

Once again this project is on the back-burner whilst we wait for the new buildings to be completed and we are sure of what space is available to us. But, in the meantime we are busy with a new project - A P4 model of the "New Kilns", workshops, and drift entrance at Rosedale East Mines, for the "Land of Iron" Project. Personally, myself and a colleague are constructing an 8 X 4 Hornby Dublo 3-rail layout to display at our annual show on the 3/4 of August. Howard Wilson

Hi John, Thanks for the swift reply. I seem to recall that early Trix-Twin Locos ran on A C current before changing to the more common D C. How do I tell which my loco is designed for? Regards Howard Wilson

Hi All, Myself and a friend are currently building a H.D. 3-Rail layout and have been given a Trix-Twin Britannia Loco. Will it run on H.D. 3-Rail Track? Regards Howard Wilson (Cleveland Model Railway Club)

Hi All, I have recently been gifted a Trix-Twin "Britannia Loco. Can it be configured to run on Hornby Dublo 3-Rail Track? Regards Howard Wilson Cleveland Model Railway Club

Hi all, My self and a friend at Cleveland Model Railway Club have decided to resurrect our H D 3-rail model railway. We have constructed a 8 x 4 ft board in two parts. The trackplan will basically be two loops with sidings off the inner one. What is the best way to get power connections across the board joint? Or is it better to have multiple supplies to each loop so all the track is powered? Regards Howard

Hi All, as part of a project to build a Hornby Dublo 3-rail layout I have recently been given a c.1939 S.R. open wagon No 19260. The body is in V.G. condition and the chassis is good. Unfortunately it has no wheels or couplings. The method of fitting wheels is not one I am familiar with. Has anyone got one of these open wagons and could post a picture? Also what type of couplings were used. Regards Howard Wilson - Cleveland Model Railway Club.

Hi All, Myself and a friend a Cleveland Model Railway Club are putting together a Hornby Dublo layout on a 8X4 board. Most of our stock ,including locos, is 50-60 years old. As a consequence the loco magnets are losing their power. Where is the best place to get then re-magnetised. Regards Howard Wilson

Cheers Howard Wilson

Hi All, has anyone any early maps, plans or photos of Redcar Central Station which they are willing to share. They are for a Cleveland Model Railway Club project. Thanks Howard Wilson

Hi,I don`t know the period but assume they will be regenerating the existing buildings. Howard

Hi All, Our local Council (Redcar and Cleveland) has an ambitious plan to regenerate Redcar Central Station and has asked Cleveland Model Railway Club for help. Does anyone have any maps, plans, photos that may help or know where we might find some? Regards Howard.
