    Thinking about a project for the spare Roco HOe diesel - the conversion in BRM Spring is interesting.

    Michael Portillo visited the Whitemoor yard on his train journey today - the bits about recycling rail and ballast were interesting.

      Two coats are just enough to keep out the gale force wind.

      Four trains spotted, three to spot this afternoon.

      Just looking at one of mine and I have one question. How?

      An LED and a resistor will just fit, soldered directly to the pickups at the back. The leads of the LED and resistor will go under the footplate, either side of the screw pillar. The effect isn't brilliant - it would be nice to use a decoder with a flicker function - but I'm happy proving that it can be done.

      Impressive, well done. I think that may be a detail to far for mine. Would love to see a picture of it working.

    Wondering why spare locomotive buffers are sold in packs of 10.

      Except sometimes the Captain's posts appear to come back out of the wormhole...

      To the original question - so you have to buy another pack of 10 just to do that third loco...

      Because they'd charge pretty much the same price for a pack of four and then everyone would whinge at the price.

    Heard in the news that platform renovation at New Street has been delayed due to difficulties getting material in and out.
