    M 34 rivets MS96riveter oops wrong rivets , these are the ones that hold the xo4 brush holder ( E2C ) in situ Bob ps and wrong riveter , as just looking at it you would be unable to 'rivet' a bogie to a chassis , some days I just should not be allowed out on my own , must try harder

    Sorry guys I m a bit obtuse in this matter of fitting x04 motors to a dublo 8f of either persuasion , 1/2 inch or ringfield . I have a few dublo 8f s in my tuit box, less motors , but spare x04 motors . Is this easy for a left handed 10 thumbed buffon like myself to attemp and any pointers/instructions on how to do it........... many thanks in anticipation bobthemilk - foothills of the pennines

    Hi guys Just came across this thread and reading with much interest and nostalgia!! Yep red one is a budgie , saved my pocket money for weeks before I could get one.

    Hope I get this right!! I have been reading this thread with much interest . Many many years ago when there were only two tv channels and Railway Modeller was in black and white I read an article about 'pug' bashing. I had some h/d 2 rail and was making additions by buying airfix kits , with saved up pocket money , from woolworths. Ofcourse I wanted them to move on their on and pleaded wit my parents that a kitmaster motorised wagon would be the answer. It was............................
