  1. I've just picked up a 1950s signalling document that refers to signal cabins throughout.
  2. Chelmsford has also scalped a fair few double-deckers over the years as well, just to remind them who is the boss!
  3. Bare stranded copper wires are crushed by the screws - as there is the possibility of settling over time they can become loose. Also, tightening a rotating screw onto copper strands can weaken them so they break off with relatively small amount of flexing. I think it looks a little neater as well? I've been putting together a few boxes like this for modular playing - it gives the components some protection whilst testing configs etc.
  4. I've started using bootlace ferrules for terminating wires - as long as they are crimped properly they can be used in chocolate block or similar and not have issues.
  5. Chelmsford already mentioned has a road going underneath, another one nearby is Shenfield which is a bit more involved.
  6. American or a proper one? ;)
  7. I guess that would be your loss then? When the first request came in, I asked if it was ok to wait until payday to pay the balance and received a prompt and courteous response. They're a preservation group, not a multi-national sales empire.
  8. I don't think the intention to continue production of SE Finecast kits has been in doubt?
  9. I only clean the material if it's really manky. Otherwise I just let the water based flux do its job. Most of the kits I have are well over 20 years old.
  10. https://laisdcc.com/spare-parts/ :) It diverts to ali express for sales - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003711888352.html If you only need one or two then a UK supplier is better but for bulk I go direct.
  11. Whilst I agree with the above, I've only heard good things about Edge kits for buildability so a good introduction to locomotives when you are ready.
