EMail to say mine is on the way. Not in era for my main layout Tillingham....unless of course the line gets preserved, which for some running sessions with this and my Terriers (and anything else I fancy) it will be

Love is a Stranger - The Eurythmics

Cheers Steve, I will want to do something one day with one of those 121 units (which I've never seen in the real world, despite a lot of miles on the clock) just the job for a little terminus layout on a random piece of shelving I imagine. At least the 205 wasn't ruined by my bodge, still runs nice and slow.

Work on various details needed on Tillingham is slowed down just now, since we're doing some work on the house, but made a start on a Ratio signal box I've had for some time. It's technically a platform box, but I'm going to mount it on a separate base; the layout doesn't call for a large one and in Southern colours it should look reasonable. On a negative note - if the bogie frame on your Class 205 DEMU keeps falling off, don't try a temporary fix with BluTak..... it's a bit of a mess when it goes soft and gets in the gear cluster Still, I managed to clear it up and am temporarily running with the offending item detached while I figure out how to sort it properly. The tags and slots that are supposed to hold it in place just don't. Quite like this shot of the layout that I managed to get quickly this morning while there was enough daylight coming in to my modellers garret

Good work Luke, and without a lot of spending involved Guess you have pretty good eyesight mate, doing those couplings!

Ummmm looks like the little lugs are misshaped, trouble us you can't see what's going on properly without taking the whole motor bogie out, and I don't feel confident about that. Problem temporarily solved with a small piece of blu-tak.....
