Thanks to Paul and Fezza for comments, which I shall follow up.  Agree with Paul about the slow running - no complaints there.

I have 3 second-batch MWs, all of which derail on some or other of 17 Mainline points.  I have quite an investment in the L & B and want to make the locos work but do not have the skills to make the alterations suggested on this forum.  Local model shops don't seem to have the experience or enthusiasm for the task!  How can I find an expert to undertake such work?  Incidentally, a tiny Eggerbahn 0-4-0 sails through all the points but an equally ancient Roco 0-6-0 diesel derails on many of them.

Thanks for above responses.  Have placed order.  Just need to hear from Heljan about some locos now!

When you pay by Paypal it should give you a choice to login to your account (default) or pay by card, select the option with card symbols & Paypal logo together.

Trouble with this route is that you lose the credit card protection. If your card compny pays the merchant via an agent (PayPal), it's not responsible for any failure of the merchant.  Outback's website does show a way of paying direct from card company to Outback - but it doesn't work in practice.

Has anyone bought Outback’s Lynton station kits?  I’d want to pay by credit card for the protection it offers but it appears that only PayPal is accepted.  (While the website describes a way to pay by credit card, the screen which actually appears is not the one described.)  I e-mailed Outback about this but have not had a reply.  Also, I have not seen on the website any information about despatch of the kits.  It feels like sending a considerable sum of money into a black hole with no knowledge of when the purchase will be delivered and no means of recompense if things go wrong.
