Catkins

Nice and atmospheric there.

If you check the thread on the magazine, you'll find the website, and you can get the models from the magazine people.

I used to have four LPs with the stories read by Johnie Morris.

Yes, the Johnie Morris who presented 'Animal Magic'

Can I suggest that you leave the track as it is, unless you have other stock that won't go through the kink, and I would go with trying to provide some movement it the pony truck first - that might solve the road holding problem.

sorry that doesn't work this should:

That looks interesting, but I presume that uses PECO track as well?

That looks interesting.

You are aware that Grantham didn't have a turntable, but used a triangle to turn engines?

To Max - I agree that there is nothing wrong with a good beer, but why would you want to get a steam engine to pull your train?

And there is another glass half full, although mines empty at the moment - Beer and breweries

I once owned a Rover (Honda) 418d - and I was 24, and used every gear in the box, sometimes in sequence.

As for the drink, mines a pint of the local ale!

If I were in the market for an LMS 2P, then I would go for the Hornby model - preferably as no. 1000 in LMS crimson - because I remember the model.

Something that the vocal people do not consider is that Hornby's Tornado in railroad trim is more accurate than a Bachmann A1. Now I do want a model of Tornado, but I do not wish to (nor afford) nearly £100 pounds for any engine, least of all one that I am planning on detailing and repainting.
