    Off my trolley

    Tim Hall posted a blog entry in Loftshire

    Wickham trolley arrived after being bought in Derails sale. Runs surprisingly well over dead frog Peco points. "Real" ballast added. HO figures on order, OO one is a bit of a faf, even with his feet Tacky Waxed.....

    Dapol Class 21/29

    Tim Hall replied to spackz's topic in Dapol

    I've used tacky wax for discs and headcode lamps on many locos with reasonable success.

    Well if you've paid, why not ride, and film occasionally? I really don't see the problem.

    It's really not boring if you ride on the trains, surely?

    RHDR regularly do a parallel run during Galas. Here's my view of Hercules, Samson and Sir Winston Churchill from behind The Bug in October 2018:

    I'm sure it won't interfere with my enjoyment of the contents when I get hold of it on 25th

    Still lethargic on the layout, but a few locos have arrived (and more have left to fund them). The Midland Pullman was a relative bargain (eBay).

    Of course. I never said that I did!

    Pulling in on the right and reversing approx 2 car lengths before continuing driving is now a manoeuvre that can be tested on UK driving tests since Dec 2017 (along with forward bay parking) replacing the turn in the road (3 point turn) and reversing round the corner on the left, which are no longer tested. As an instructor, I'm very wary of where we practice this....

    A friend of mine is a steam driver on the Severn Valley Railway and drove an autotrain from the coach a few years ago. He found it most odd as there is a delay after opening or closing the regulator before any effect is noticed, and he felt he didn't feel what the loco actually required quite as well due to not being on the footplate. I'm sure those who did it regularly got used to it though.

    My footage of it on "Driver for a Fiver" back in 2012 (from 22:19) And again from 7;30 in this one:

    Off-topic alert, apologies. Sold mine on eBay for a few quid more than I paid for it

    Thus: (Loco is Talyllyn, No11"Trecwn", 20th Oct 18, it failed immediately afterwards, stung?)

    'Santa Teresa' has been out of action for at least a month now with various issues (the middle drivers had been removed for one!). Trains are being double-headed by the Arn-Jung and the Baguley diesel. They have told me that they will post on their Facebook page when it returns to service.

    When I was laying flexitrack, I checked with my longest coaches (Mk111s at the time) before pinning down. This was a fourth circuit being laid a couple of years after the first three, hence a bit near the edge of the baseboard fillet, and the sharpest curves on the whole layout.

    I have that book. They moved around more than I realised.

    Gone by the time I got there

    Some very good and diverse layouts, any good value refreshments dispensed by Dreails Dan's mom, and Derails Luke. Very pleased to finally catch up with Borth, Aberdovey and Ynylas Railway, as I know its owners well, and used to help with their previous layout, Waterfield Hall. Some snaps of it here:

    Has anyone fitted a driver yet?

    Another good day at PBR. The galas are always good fun, with locos working hard and a varied timetable. Warm weather on Saturday as well.

    Yes, I've just ordered one. I emailed them on Friday suggesting that it would surely be easier for someone to change one number on their website, rather than loads of us contacting them to query it. They replied this morning that it would be done within 24hrs, and it has been.

    Saves me a trip into town, thanks! Haven't ordered one direct yet, as I can't be bothered to ring up to get the £1 knocked off it. Surely they can change the online form?
