    Anybody got a spare set of 6 Markits 4'3" 14 spoke drivers? I really can't be bothered faffing about with these Gibsons.

      If you haven't destroyed them too much how about a master class on fitting them.

      You are more than 'dead good' Dave you're work is professional and if anyone wants images of same pm me and Ill be happy to oblige.

      I might add you are amongst the most reasonable out there too..probably too cheap and this may put customers off but believe me the final finish is professional.

    At midnight tonight as in 1969, the rails in the Gala Valley will lie cold and silent beneath the stars. But tomorrow they will ring in dawn's first light with the first Monday morning passenger service since 30th December 1968...

      Also pre ordered one but we have no plans to offload the club J36s as they look superb and run beautifully..be surprised if the rtr model looks better than our Maude.
