Well spotted and yes, you are absolutely right, it was a Bachmann Percy!

Yes that's it! Thankyou very much!

Hello there, Can someone tell me who made the signal box that can be seen in this photo? I had it as a kid and would like to see if I can find another but I've no idea who made it. All the best, TTJ

Hi there, Here's my attempt at a Nelliebosh. I can't remember where I got the outside cylinders. I used little brass eyelets for the window surrounds. The motor is an ancient seven-pole Zenith but has been remagnetized and the performance is quite good. Cheers, TJ.

Nice loco. Incidentally that's not a K's motor it's an old Zenith. I recently put one in an old Tri-ang Polly. Runs nice and smooth. Seven pole.

I follow Sam's trains and I enjoy his reviews, and the "silly" stuff is good too, very entertaining, and something the kids can look forward to whilst getting their dose of model railways. I sense some kind of resentment, dislike, or distrust among certain members of this forum towards him which I find more silly than any of his light-hearted antics. I found the review he gave of the hush hush to be fair and justified. I'm sure Sam is more than capable of being careful when assembling/disassembling a loco, and that his disassembly had nothing to do with the issues the loco had. I remember when you could buy a Hornby loco and it would be pretty much guaranteed to run straight out of the box, and continue to run with basic servicing for many decades. Obviously things have changed. I was most disgusted by Hornbys pathetic packaging than anything else. What a disappointment.

Thankyou very much, it's been driving me nuts!

Can someone tell me who/what "Book Law" is? What does the name mean? I've been trying to look it up but can't find anything. Thanks.
