Think you must have Kung Fu Posties Ian, my Schools arrived to you damaged despite being in it's Hornby packaging. Have you upset them?

As an inveterate Ebay cynic, it doesn't escape my notice that to force sellers to send "signed for" adds one pound to the postage cost and thus 10% of that extra pound to Ebay and roughly 4% to subsidiary company Paypal. So, 1.2 million transactions per annum, 1.2 million times 14 pence = another 168,000 pounds in Ebay's coffers.

Can you expand on this please Yelrow? What screws (gauge and length) and where do you purchase them? Do you screw through the sleeper? Thanks.

Great and frugal minds think alike. Mine is a tad under 900mm because that was an 1800mm length of 44mm square timber cut in two and we are talking a lotta legs here.

That smacked in the face look shown by your photos brings back memories of Sunday excursion tickets when my three siblings and our mother would be off to Brighton for the day or workman's tickets in the days of school holidays at ungodly hours, accompanying my father down to Redhill where we would change for Nutfield and the houses he was helping to build with his carpentry skills. Also, I recall vividly an incident when I was waiting at Norwood Junction for the train to school at Waddon, a 4LAV rattled it's way at a fair lick through platform 4, the fast line, only to scream to a stop just past the signal box and a couple of minutes later come back into the platform where it was meant to stop as a semi-fast out of London Bridge. Against the regulations one must suppose, but needs must. They always looked to me as if one rail joint too many and they would fall to bits, but inside they were luxury personified, comfy seats and copious polished wood.

Can anyone tell me how to get to the 6-pin socket on the E4? I've whipped out the two screws under each coupling but it's still held fast.
