    Thank you for this advice. Have now got quite a few options to look at. 😀

    Thank you for that detailed response. I am intending to fit not just to the tender but also the front bogie, which I would imagine will more challenging than the tender.

    I have acquired a Hornby West Country which has tension lock couplings which I need to change to Kadee. However, there is no NEM pocket. How do I proceed?

    Looking at Markits list of wheels cannot see any that are listed for the W specifically..

    Thanks Ray for the info. I will give them a buzz. I am trying to ascertain the correct driving wheel to use. Looking at photos. I cannot quite decided whether they are 16 or 17 spoke?

    Thanks Jack, Looking at the HL website they show the Loadhauler and Loadhauler Compact, but cannot see a motor with the reference 1424. I will contact them to see what might have replaced it.

    Hi Ray, Saw this layout of yours at the Taunton School exhibition a few years ago. Love it! Feltham was the nearest shed to me when I lived in Twickenham and managed to bunk a few times. I remember you have a model of a W class, built from a PDK kit I think. I am thinking of getting the kit. What motor did you use? PDK themselves recommend High Level motors and gears but have not a clue as to which to use??

    I was brought up in Twickenham and remember seeing the tram tracks 'grinning' through the tarmac in Heath Road, further into Twickenham. This would have been around the very early '60s. The wooden blocks I well remember as my mother got hold of some (maybe for using on our coal fire??). Those familiar with the area will recall seeing the tram tracks in Fulwell bus depot well into the days of the Routemaster.
