eBay, then.

I've found some Maygib Ref4M21 coupling but can't get on with them.

We etched ours - allows for variations in size to suit awkward buffer sizes/lengths.

I did manage to do that. With the help of my ex Melton Constable relief signalman we got lots of maintenance done..

but did you get the children to go up the signals to grease them up?

Women are funny things, maybe its the two new signals that have turned up that she doesn't like? Or the fact that you didn't do the washing up her way?

I've got away with the signals, and the new post that arrived for ENJ17 fog repeater today, for some reason.

I want one of those 'Not To Be Moved' signs - fitted to the couch for when I'm occupying it of course!

Excellent, a top notch addition to the garden.

I need to find a wooden post though. Do i make a respectable one or get a lump of wood and make it look like i hacked the top off?

You've been done, it's flat.

That bit isn't

Iron the pages, should sort it out.

took a bit of searching but:-

Many thanks. My new toy arrived this morning with one of these chips in it. The seemed to be no way to download the instructions and even the supplier couldn't do it. I just hope i can get the latest one to match the speed/acceleration/deceleration of the one i already have.

When my son was just over two years old his Mum went away for a week on a field trip. After four days he said "where's Mummy?"

That seems pretty much to be the case here.

What kind of engineers wagon is that?

Was it at Eel E North Junction

Somewhat upstream of the isle of eels.

Home or honey?

Loads of insects this time of year. It's what the sema is phore.

Nice. That stretch would be outstandingly dull without them.

The bad news was that it was Euston.

Relpace the wheels. I replaced all of mine EXCEPT the ones on the power bogie with a pack of newer Hornby ones, the other two coaches run smoother and the pick up is much better on them than the old 'silvered' wheels, made a huge difference. I only did those as that's how many axles were in the pack, and it is a huge improvement. No doubt better drive bogie wheels would improve it more.

Fully agree about pick-ups and wheels. I quite like the motors (someone has to), but they benefit from a good clean along with the gears, then a careful oiling/ greasing on the gear spindles, plus a smidge on the motor spindle. I find then powerful, and in this regard better than the new Hornby bogie drives.

When I used one to convert to a Class 104 I replaced the m/bogie with one used in the ex Lima Cl 101 and 121 and fitted pick ups to the trailing bogie. The bogie adaption was straitforward as I cut out the original bogie side frames and stretchers in one piece and fitted around the new m/bogie. I also changed one power bogie wheelset so there was only one traction tyred wheel, sufficient for a 3 car dmu. I've also done the same with an unconverted Cl 110 and my Dapol Class 150 and 155.

That'll work. Slightly out of gauge when loaded flat but at 45 degrees or so they'll fit.

Ah, the roar of Pinza up Miles Platting bank and then up over Standedge....

I'm more of a Gasworks Tunnel to Stevenage type to be honest.

Sold mine, cos it wouldn't....terrible thing...

I deepened the slot the centre axle sits in. It all comes apart really easy and only takes a minute start to finish.

I must try that on mine before I pull my hair out!

no! never the telly, it's awful....

When did you start calling your van a small carry case? Is there not a tablet instrument you could be cleaning up in the back of it?
