    Why were the Three Kings late to visit Jesus? The Orient Express was ran by Southern railway.

    Hornby customer services: "Due to training we are closed until 3, try again after". 3PM: "We are closed". Terrible.

      The subframes (motor/drive and trailing) of the powered car can be used on a 4 wheel railbus (needs 70 thou' of packing above the trailing subframe if they're going into a DIY chassis). I've used one on a On30 railbus.

       

      The floor they're fitted to isn't great - especially the big metal block hanging from the centre.

       

      The interior needs a lot of work.

       

      The bodyshell basically looks the part (despite the wrong doors).

      I 3D Printed a modern interior, so apart from lift ups for the pickup hubs it is much better :)

  8. centraltrains

    Connecting all the track wires together! Soon trains will no longer have to run in one block only!

    Anyone know of a search term for those copper strips used to pickup electricity from wheels? "Pickup" doesn't give too much :/
