  8. Really! How much to run a Forum where a lot of the the content is provided for nothing by Joe Soapers? It obviously done to get as many people onto the Mags set up and WOR and to make a few more bob so if it works then job done. The only add tempting me that I would click on is the Ad Blocker one!!
  9. She did not look Hard enough then, I copped 4 Duchess's one off the LMS shelf, others off the net. I have one MN on order but that is only for the pulling power due the extra weight.

  19. Hi Folks, I have some trouble with this little beauty, The Grey R6915 Have been running mine now for a short time it started to Derail and under exmination I noticed the Van has become not so free running anymore with one wheelset very stubborn to move as it should and hence this managed to derail the van over a 3 way point. I did put a dab of oil onto the axle points but waste of time and cleaned up the reset for the axle points. the brake shoes are all away from the wheels and no underside gubbins is touching the wheels either. Very strange indeed. interest to see if anyone has similar problem?
  20. Yep if the wife finds out then you are then under the kosh...
  21. I queried this some time back and this was the reply below. Still prefer cardboard to the plastic, Some manufacturing are getting worse it seems with big plastic bubbles with small product rattling around inside . At the time my Peco Packing had no recycling marks on the plastic. Dear George, Thank you for your recent email to the Railway Modeller. My colleagues there thought that I might be better placed to respond, as they are not involved in the production and distribution of PECO products. We appreciate that at first glance you might wonder why we would choose to use plastic packaging but what is important to be aware of is that this packaging is produced from recycled material, and is fully recyclable from the kerbside. It is the same PET material that is used for plastic bottles and is produced here in the UK from UK-sourced recycled plastic bottles. As we all know, it is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that as much waste material as possible is recycled, so as long as these PECO packs are placed in your kerbside recycling, or taking to your local recycling centre, them it will continue to be reused. It would be irresponsible to place these items in your landfill waste collection bins. Our previous packaging, the mixture of card and plastic, was not so easily recycled. Unless you physically removed the plastic windows from the boxes they would be put into landfill. Now that there is a separate card insert in the new plastic pouches and boxes these can be more easily separated and disposed of correctly. Until a suitable alternative, durable packaging material can be sourced for a realistic cost we will continue to use these recycled plastic boxes and pouches as we feel that they are best available. They protect our products very well, and allow effective and attractive displays in our retailers’ shops, and can be responsibly disposed of for recycling after use. We go to great pains to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible, and switching to paper envelopes for sending copies of the Railway Modeller is just one example. Many thanks for raising your concerns and I hope that my reply will go some way to explaining what we are doing. Kind regards, Steve Haynes Sales Manager Pritchard Patent Product Co. Ltd
