@D1001 (who runs the site) has posted an explanation of the present situation in Blogs;

Here's a photo of the LE1014E I have;

Although the image is a bit too blurry to read any of the marking on the components the general layout does look like a Lenz LE1014, as @WIMorrison says reading CV8 would help in identification.

Wizard Models have their own range of wheels, don't know who makes them but they look like Gibson's Wizard Models Wheel Range.

One thing that never fails to amaze are buyers who don't do their research, one example is a listing for a Chivers Pigeon Brake Van which sold for £27.05 plus £2.50 postage; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Chivers-Finelines-4mm-OO-plastic-kit-D120-full-brake-pigeon-van-/256004551840?nma=true&si=YBT5Pjlhgiq53BDr%2By5W1WnMokQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 If you Google "Chivers Pigeon Brake Van" the first result is the Chivers Finelines page for that very kit, which is only £16 plus £3.80 postage; https://www.chiversfinelines.co.uk/shop/p/rc416-lner-dia-120-4w-by-pigeon-brake-van-kit There were 4 bidders who would have paid £16 or more for the kit, I wonder if the unsuccessful ones have now visited the Chivers site?

"Ich bin kaputt" translates to english as "I am broken".

According to the original announcement Q4 2023, so hopefully in time for Christmas.

For the period you're interested in the passenger services would be; Fast trains, Waterloo - Weymouth, 4-REP with 1or 2 4-TC, the TCs would then be taken from Bournemouth to Weymouth by Class 33/1. Semi-Fast trains, Waterloo - Bournemouth, 4-REP with 1or 2 4-TC. Slow trains, Waterloo - Basingstoke/Southampton/Bournemouth, 4-VEP and 2-HAP (HAPs would minimum of 2 sets and possibly only as far as Basingstoke) In the late 80's the 4-REPs were withdrawn and replaced with 2x Class 73/1 until the 5-WES units came into service. DEMUs were used on Basingstoke - Reading, Portsmouth - Salisbury via Southampton, and Eastleigh to Fareham services. Loco hauled services were; Waterloo - Salisbury, Class 33/1 with 4-TCs Waterloo - Exeter, Class 50 (sometimes class 33) Inter-City Cross Country services from Bournemouth, Class 47 There was during that time period a mid-morning Waterloo - Bournemouth Class 73 hauled train and I seem to remember an early evening slow Waterloo - Basingstoke/Salisbury formed 4-TC, 33/1, 4-VEP, the VEP being detached at Basingstoke. As for freight, as you mentioned there's the container traffic from Southampton, the stone traffic to Botley and Totton (Eling Wharf) supplied by Yeoman and ARC which would be in the hands of Class 56 before the arrival of the Class 59, and Fawley Petroleum products including Bitumen and Propane. Other traffic would include military traffic to Marchwood and Andover, UKF fertilizer to Andover, vehicles from Ford's Transit Van factory, and Speedlink services handling, amongst other things, household coal and steel.

Would a 10/0 brush be a better option? I have one of these; Abteilung 502 10/0 paint brush which I find good for applying very small amounts of paint. There are others available; Pro Arte; Daler Rowney and Da Vinci, and there's probably more.
