    I believe Pitsea had a bay platform, on the down Tilbury side, that had a kick back siding, that crossed the road, and ended in a small yard, latterly named "the stone siding, when the bay was filled in and the siding was routed off the down Tilbury line on the London side of the crossing. A short portion remains to this day, covered in concrete sleepers for relaying.

    My first post was a scale length model but the Turbo was not. Made the Jubilee "Windward Isles" at the same time as these were the locomotives involved in the Harrow collision. Playing devils advocate, what about a 4-2-2 "Princess"?! With long stroke con rods, it would be very Steampunk!

    Precisely. Colour fades over time. So if the shade is bright, ex. works. If dulled, service sheen. If black, needs a clean! Pick a time in the life of the loco and your colour will match.

    When you need a model for your friends new single cover, get the DC to dress up.....

    I recently had a "screamer". The bush was rotating in the frame. Bit of superglue put paid to that! Smooth runner now.

    This sort of thing is endemic. Just finished reading a well known evening paper and the sentence construction, punctuation and spelling left a lot to be desired.

    You are correct but, type Triang class 81 motor bogie and there is a premium price attached. Get a damaged, old, Transcontinental diesel for a song.

    Are both triangular plates, with locating holes, in place on the motor ends? These keep the bushings in place when under load. My one did as above. I made the missing plate, attached it to the end, problem solved. Then found the missing plate under my chair. B@s♧@rd!

    My surgery has gone over to this system and I was sceptical at first but after a few wrong turns have found it very quick and useful. Saves a lot of waiting on hold! But that's just me.
