  1. Interesting idea with the markings - on mine I just turn the allen key 1/4 turn each time but your way is a bit more accurate!
  2. I look at it this way - can I do better and quicker? No, so I shall wait :)
  3. Not an unusual situation sadly. Although I did receive some backordered bits from Dave a week or so ago.
  4. Obviously there's very few colour images available from when they were new, but there is one partial one here: https://www.steve-banks.org/prototype-and-traffic/133-teak-coaches Quite a bit of info here including some video -
  5. Phew, managed to resist long enough for them to sell out!
  6. Or, we want you to buy the manky ones so we can finally get rid of them?
  7. Doesn't look like a 37?
  8. I think this one comes under "patience is a virtue". 3 or 4 years ago I picked up a Martin Finney LNER 1928 corridor tender for £50. Today I picked up an A4 to go with it for £160. Current (not unreasonable for the quality) price from Brassmasters is £290.
  9. This kind of thing? https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/c/150/ Cheaper versions on Amazon etc.
  10. I'm kind of with you on that - I think I'm the reason that the Invertrains site now says all items are 7mm! From what I remember, a web search took me directly to some buffers, and as they are VERY reasonably priced for 7mm I didn't realise....
  11. Only because of the delusions of grandeur with the cast numberplates!
  12. As I understand it, if you want to share info with a third party, that party has to be named at the time of the agreement being made. So murky waters maybe . Will anyone get upset that their info gets passed to Rails without their permission? I'd hope not, but some people may have beef with Rails I suppose.
  13. Interesting I must have got their original name from my Dad as I wasn't born until 1977!
  14. True, but that's where I use side cutters. When doing loads of the same size the adjustables were a handy "cheat".
  15. I used to have some of these a long time ago, very effective especially if you didn't need to change diameters often. Alas lost many years ago :( Showing your age now, calling them Radiospares!
  16. https://architizer.com/blog/practice/details/technical-details-brick-bonds-and-patterns/ I think so.
  17. Yorkshire bond? Making them bricks go further ;)
  18. Whoops sorry yes - I forgot there was that device after the LI101 and before the one with ethernet.
  19. The GER had their own coffee pots https://www.gersociety.org.uk/files-emporium-home/lg002-ger-0-4-0-coffee-pots
  20. Definitely a skill worth learning. I do find very fine wires don't always work first time these days - must be getting old. Watching this thread as I may have to succumb and buy something.
  21. Progress, huh 😒 Mine is connected to my router rather than my laptop. However, if USB is the right way for you, then as @WIMorrison says, use the FTDI driver.
  22. I did this the other day, but just use the Ethernet port instead of the USB port.
