    Not sure im Bitter, Attitude was caused by a reason (i will not detail in public) im sure a consideration could be given to Travel Expenses, in exchange for the help, The Control Box for the points is now here, and as far as i can tell complete, i have the motors aswell, i obviously need wire / cable but that can be arranged at a later date, point motors will allow me to stay Analogue but get round my inability to stand and poor eyesight, if you are still willing to give me a chance you are welcome to email HOLBYCITYRAILWAY@GMAIL.COM all track work is 3 years old i bought it all brand new locos etc not new but that is entirely by the by, this is the last railway i will ever own and i want it to be the best i can manage.

     

    Previously i was held to ransom by the person that was "helping" his attitude was always "its my way or no way" with everything, its my railway not his, all the money was mine, everything belonged to me so why was it his way or no way?

    he is now long gone and will no longer be involved, i know what i want, and thats why im asking for help, should you be kind enough to help, you would find a great deal of work has already been done, and anything else can be discussed like gentleman.

      You might struggle to get help via a status update, it's not very obvious and when four other people post their own status updates this one will disappear from any front facing forum page.

      Fair comment.

      I'd definitely suggest re-posting in the "modelling questions" section of this site.

       

      As for the problems you've mentioned, one major issue with old Lima stuff is the "pizza cutter" wheels - you (or someone else) might perhaps be able to grind them down on a drill in a stand. Other options might include replacing the wheels or swapping the bogies for modern Hornby equivalents.

      As for corridor connections, this might depend on whether anyone's planning on "backdating" DMUs - or doing "class 121 / 122 driving trailer" conversions on outer cars. OK - there's more to this - but the corridor connections might not be needed with certain conversions.

       

      I know I'm thinking of doing some conversions in the future - but I wouldn't be much help, because I'm in a different part of the UK.
