Geevor Clayton Loco

Policeman: pulls me over. ''Have you got anything in your car that I should know about?'' Me: ''No - only stuff you probably shouldn't know about.'' Policeman: ''Right on, have a good day...'' Me: Vroom Policeman: ''...Wait...''

With great power comes great electricity bill.

You forgot to sand the print lines off the groan button!

I named my dog 'Five miles' so I could say I walked five miles every day. Yesterday my neighbour told me he ran over five miles 0_o

Really like the chilmark battery loco, great workAny idea what the big white box in the cab does? There's nothing like that in any battery locos I drive And the photography's great too, specially the last picture of the Chilmark loco Will be reading the thread with interest. 'Ansum

I don’t think you can get them as spares as they are moulded on the model, but you can get turned stanchions from various companies including Phoenix paints https://www.phoenix-paints.co.uk/products/4-shr-25. Another option would be to make them yourself (see photo). The one on the left is just another bit of brass rod a 90° from the handrail using a blob of solder to represent the stanchion. You can get brass rod from lots of companies (Albion alloys is a good one to try) or eBay/Amazon, I think I used 1/32” dia. The one on the right is a bit of plastic rod drilled through the middle with a short bit of rod super glued on the side, and then the handrail is pushed through the hole, with a bit of super glue where you want the handrail, to hold it in place. A coat of paint makes them look round and its much cheaper than buying them. I expect other people will have better ideas but these seem to work for me.

They other day someone said to me ''Coronavirus won't last long.'' ''Why not?'' '' 'Cause it's made in China''

Thanks.

I just ate a clock. It was time consuming.

I really like they dingams, but I can't quite work out how the loop on the wagon comes up - does it have a bit of wire underneath the coupling that gets pulled down (by the magnet), pulling up the loop? Proper job

I had a strange dream where I was swimming in orange fizzy drink. I woke up and realised it was just a Fanta-sea.

Nice layout, particularly like the sentinel . Have you got a shop selling pasties? Need one of them! 'Ansum!

Ok, thanks for the info - might have to stick ‘em on some of my locos

Are the strips of metal on the blue Sentinel there to prevent buffer lock on tight corners?

If the body is plastic you could try holding the running plate in hot water until it softens, and the bend it straight. Or you could try softening it with steam from a kettle or something.

Is the body plastic?

Thanks for the advice everyone, I will try and dismantle the chassis and clean and oil it to see if it gets any better.

I've had Lima's with wheels that appear to be chemically blackened - did the come like that from the factory, or was it done by the owner?

Ok thanks.
