    How is this for weathering? Former Gatwick Express coaches that had been parked under trees for 6 years in Lisburn now at Adelaide, Belfast en route to the RPSI for preservation. Photos by Matthew Wilson

    At a P4 layout ask if the bullhead track is the new Peco or DCC Concepts.

    Hattons order form gives you the option of shipping items as they become available or of waiting until everything is available and then sending it all in one parcel. No need for e mails.

    If you think that is bad, search Youtube for "train surfing" Don't try this on the real railway. Here are two examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq1eLWZUmuk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf-8jL4PbeA

    Re Rich's post, I and many others use the upstanding bit at the end of the throw bar ( tie bar) to connect the actuating wire that links to the point motors. Edit to correct the auto correct.

    That's quite attractive, the black class 37.

    You have misunderstood Chris. There have been several posts querying the strength of the new points and I was referring to them in general and not your post in particular. As for your own question that would be an ecumenical matter. lol

    The turnouts have not yet appeared and already experts on here are assuming that the current solenoid motors are too powerful. I think the reason for this and similar analysis of as yet unavailable products is a question that belongs to the "unsolved mysteries" thread.

    Thanks Tony. A neat move by Olivias to get a bit of extra business. Would you consider one of their locos?
  10. Colin_McLeod
    Is Olivias "Fixing up" BGs or only ones that they already have?

    With a little restraint there would be no need for condoms lol

    Apparently this was to keep the heraldic police happy. BR only had a licence for one lion crest. Having a second crest with the lion facing the opposite way is a different crest for which they had no licence. The procedure for getting a second licence was so involved that BR decided not to bother.

    When does the warm and fuzzy feeling kick in? lol

    A very good point. All the discussion regarding sleeper dimensions and spacings also apply to flat-bottomed plain track and turnouts.

    Was that man on his way to a model railway exhibition by any chance.

    Cyclists often ignore red lights stop signs etc. If they don't follow the rules then it's only chance whether they get hit by a car or a train. Edit for two typos.

    What size nut and bolts do I need for the Exactoscale fishplates?
  18. Colin_McLeod
    Can Peco please issue the fishplates soon so that this thread can get back on topic lol

    That makes perfect sense. After all trucks and double decker buses are not built to go under every low bridge in the country. They live with route restrictions perfectly well and so would UIC gauge trains on HS2.

    Warning Peanuts This post may be used in evidence etc etc lol

    "Tested but only runs for a few seconds"!!! And just look at that chimney!. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRI-ANG-OO-GAUGE-6042-LOCO-/122269851377?hash=item1c77d9def1%3Ag%3ADZ8AAOSwux5YUazv&_trkparms=pageci%253A2242b97d-c709-11e6-99c4-005056974d32%257Cparentrq%253A1e7db7151590a60624fc3ddeffd4d4fa%257Ciid%253A7

    Everyone stay at home then. I believe objectors to railways started with the construction of the Stockton and Darlington. HS2 ( and hopefully HS3 etc) is progress for the greater good.

    Thanks. That is a very interesting site.
  24. Colin_McLeod
    Link does not work
