Hi Johnston, not trying to be a smart &rse but I think 90mph equates to 132 ft per sec. cheers malc

Or the “New Inn”👌👌

Surely the traction tyre’s have fell off😆😆

Placed an order December 2021 not arrived yet ( not holding my breath) , tried to contact on mobile number get “ mailbox full “ message. Very strange but a previous order was completed in 10 days with emails saying order received, money taken,order processed and order dispatched. lack of communication is very very frustrating. cheers Malc.

If it’s 1955 Vauxhall Velox AND RUST FREE there won’t be much left😁😁

Aren’t Aardvarks one of the least dangerous animals on earth as “ Aardvark never killed anybody “ where is my coat and hat😄

I can send some coaching stock if you get bored doing troublesome trucks

Excellent videos Russ, Getting better every time. cheers Malc

I think the last sentence sums it up, loco £20 + decoder and stay alive £30=£50 Against a £70 loco no contest as I seem to have an abundance of Airfix product!!! malc

Yes I have found that a paper shim at the worm end can make a vast difference to the running characteristics of the Dapol loco’s, not so apparent when done at the”terminal” end.

Defo my era love it,,,,!

Very nice, good to see 4429 long time resident at Rowsley. All mine are from 1958 onwards so had to re-number them. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Malc

Couldn’t agree more, at Rowsley South we had a greater variety with the turn backs from the south. Interesting times.

She looks perfectly at home, Put some lamp irons on, black the whistle and safety valves, stick a crew in job done.

Hi I find with a Zimo mx600 and lais 870007 they run as well as most newer models.some are noisey but can run extremely slowly. You see a lot of comments on the forum from some sources condemning old models, they obviously don’t like a challenge.

I have more than a few Airfix 4F,s I fear. malc

The original plan(40 years ago) was to be a retirement project of Rowsley shed 1958-1964 so I started collecting loco’s. 33 years later when retirement came I then realised the size would be prohibitive. So I now have a tail chaser plus sidings, engine shed and station. Then DCC came along and the challenge of converting airfix,mainline,Lima and Hornby stock commenced. I am about 66% through this with only a couple of disasters. It is all based on what I used to see when sat on the gate at South Jct box. Happy days gone but not forgotten. Al sorry for the hi-jack. cheers Malc p.s. All j94 are Dapol purchased when they were first released, there is only 68068 that has the wrong cab backplate (wrong shape rear spectacles) all run very well.
