Or the much cheaper rubbing alcohol with a couple of drops of artist retarder. Paul

How hard would it have been to say sorry your post contravened forum rules so it was removed It was not actually meant to promote illegal software piracy but a tong in cheek dig at the seller RR&Co adopting Illegal trading policies and how ironic that his software can be had for free even if using illegal methods Two Illegals cancel each other out

I see the forum censor has been at work, It would have been nice and polite to have have been told why the censorship took place, especially given that rr&co and their openly iligal practices are still allowed a mention.

I have twp Peco Units the Micro and precision and both work well, not quite as good as the home made one, but that's based on a Tazer who's spark will jump a couple of inches if I am not careful

Looking at the common thread to many messages through the many Model rail Forums Nelevator are having quite a long standing issue with not only deliveries but also an almost total lack of communication. I would be very wary if giving them any money at this stage and would wait until they have sorted their issues out. There are quite a few customers who have waited more than 2 years and cant get any reply from them. Caveat Emptor

Just checking to see if these are showing up in stock yet, couldn't believe they are doing 111 different variations of these, talk about flooding the market if they all arrive on time

Not had any running issues with the Dapol 66's i have owned on Peco code 55 turnouts, but have had loads of issues with them blowing RED LED's though

Any update from Hattons on expected delivery of these 66's, their website still says December 2019 will there be a number of disapointed modellers come Christmas when their promised present turns out to be a bus ** They are still saying January 2020 for their n-gauge Garratt and we all know that's not even going to go into production. Will the 66 arrive in time? Paul ** rail replacement service

Still awaiting the outcome of my appeal. Paul

Didn't know you can buy the project on their own, do you just get the project to use as often as you like or do you have to provide the decoders serial number so the project is locked to that one decoder? Sorry if the answer is obvious Paul

Yep insulfrog, sorry I was viewing on a mobile device and the pictures were a touch small, so just knock the E off the codes I mentioned for the Insulfrog version. Paul

The two curved ones are probably SL-E387 Curved Turnout, Large Radius, Left Hand & SL-E386 Curved Turnout, Large Radius, right Hand The straight one is probabably a SL-E395 Turnout, Medium Radius, Right Hand Paul

In a situation like this, what happens to Virgins rolling stock, do the have to pass it on to the new company or do the new company have to find enough stock to run the service from day one, if they don't pass them on what happens to Virgins stock, is there a big trainset sale going on. Just wondering what happens in a setuation when they have a franchise change?

The who loco looks to be a rusty wreck, big question would be why is there do much of the back panel still black when the rest of the loco is rust red?

Been Googling photos the 73 in Pullman Colours Does seem very wrong to see a Pullman pulling freight but there are quite a few.

Thanks guys So I will have to add a Deltic to make use of my Mk1's Out of curiosity what was reason for the Class 73 in Pullman Evening Argus Colours if it was not used to pull Pullman Coaches? Thanks again for all the excellent info Paul

Another Pullman related question I have a rake of 8 Graham Farish Mk1 Pullmans, what would be an appropriate loco to haul them around 1. Obvious first choice a Class 73 in Pullman Evening Argus colours, would they be using this to pull their Mk1 stock or had that started to be faded out by the 80's when the 73 arrived in Pullman colours 2. I have a few Steam Passenger locos, should any of these be used with the Mk1's. STD 5mt, Merchant Navy Class and some Duchess's, would one of those find themselves pulling the Mk1's. Sorry for all the questions I did search but lost lost in the flood of information. Thanks Paul

Thanks guys First class information as always Paul

Thanks will keep that info in mind should I need it next.

Bachmann have this year decided to only announce products they plan to actually deliver in 2020. So they will not be listing anything this year. Hat coat door

Hi all Today a cought a glimps of one of the Belmont British Pullman trains running through my local station, but it was too far away to identify the type of Coaches they were using, anyone know what they use K or Mk1, I assume from the interia photos on their website they must be k's as the interias were far to opulent to be Mk1's. Is that assumption ccorrect? Thanks Paul

Hattons posted mine out today, might get them tomorrow, fingers crossed. Paul

Sent all the photo evidence showing tbeir signs and their machines all showing £5 For three hours off with my appeal today, will let you know how I get on, is there an Ombudsmen for the parking industry? Paul

Yes I am starting to take the hint, these things come in threes, I wonder what's next.

The following is a cautionary tale Last week we popped into Maidstone to do some shopping, all the usual car parks were full, so my last ditched effort was to try the one by the local Sainsbury's, were we found a space and it's connected to the main shopping centre as well, checked the board by the pay machine it said 3 hours was £5, a bit pricy as it's £2 in all the others but I paid it any way, we did our shopping including some in Sainsbury's and went home all in under 3 hours. Yesterday I got a parking ticket from the private company that runs the car park for Sainsbury's saying I overstayed the paid parking time. What the fluff hi thought I paid for 3 hours, couldn't believe I still had the parking receipt in my wallet so checked it, sure enough I paid £5 but according to the ticket that £5 got me 15 minutes parking. Now got to fight my way back tomorrow to take photographic evidence of the charge notice posted then try to fight it. Just a heads up to anyone else who might find themselves in one of their car parks, check what you are paying for. Paul
