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

Edited the post as to colour. 

Rover Damask red auto spray paint is as near as dammit!

Their H0 range was Acho

Bless you!, but what was the range called?

Got this W.D. look-a-like, made from a damaged, Tri-ang, "Davy Crockett"...

Blackboard paint! Chalk it white for day, wipe off and draw the stars for night...

I'll get my cloak..

SLAM!

Somewhere in my stash of photographs, there are images of a Triang B12, that a friend of mine updated.

Upload them!

And no chassis rot!

28XX?

Use guitar plectrums. Easy to use and you won't damage anything if you slip....

'cause you will...

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.

It's exactly the same wheelset - part number X.116 if you want to search for them loose

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.

Milton Jones's grandfather fell into a vat of grease.

He went downhill quickly after that.

What about his other grandfather?

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!

If they want them gone, just say FREE to collector, or donate to youth centre, community group etc.

May spark an interest in someone then...

Try "Taskmaster"!

Nope, or Hardy...

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.

Here's an odd one! Not model railway, but...

 

"PLEASE CHECK HIS SIZE Making sure its suitable for your space."

That's Ollie.

C'mon, you know who!,

Thanks, but I need to go with bigger wheels. The motor bogie wheels  look to be 11 or 12mm, so look very undersize compared to the rest at 15mm.

 

I did read that the triang class 81 was fitted with larger wheels so perhaps that's a solution?

Try the Triang Dock shunter, Transcontinental diesels as well. Cheaper and more common than the 81 wheel sets.

You could try grinding them down with a Dremel tool. I did all mine and the results are pictured after polishing with wet-n-dry. (Left, before, right, after.)

We do a lot of this. You have the right qualifications. Join the railway!
