    Just another quiet moment at 'Rectory Lane'....

    Definitely check the back to backs. Where the bit of plastic is, there is a raised, marginally wider bit on the straight point blade. If the back to backs are too tight, it may be catching on that bit of rail and jumping. if you get down to eye level, can you see the wheel lifting off?

    Back to back is the distance between the inner faces of the wheels. There are specified measurements to ensure smooth running. Its amazing what a difference a tiny error can make to the reliable running of any items of rolling stock.

    Have you checked the back to back on the wheels - if they are incorrect, it can be a constant cause of derailments.

    Just had a reply from Peters Spares - for a class 31 or a class 47, you will need 1 x PS77 set and 2 x PS79 sets per loco.

    Ooooh, can't beat the Green Bus Company - legendary locally, although Chase came a close second with their battered Leyland Nationals until well into the 2000's!

    The “Cobbler” sets of MK1’s that used to run between Euston and Northampton had a mixture of open and corridor coaches. If the train was packed, up went the armrests in the compartments and four people would sit each side - those seats were absolute luxury!!

    The shed supervisor at Rectory Lane depot kindly let me have a wander round earlier to see what was about.

    Can’t find my photos of the 110s in the repair shop at Stratford to post, but I have found a photo of 2 class 110 DMBCs in the repair shop on page 110 (aptly!!) of British Rail DMUs and diesel rail cars by Brian Morrison. Photo is dated 22 September 1987.

    I remember seeing class 110s in the repair shops at Stratford on occasions during Saturday morning visits. Have photos somewhere.

    Just had a virtual coffee and started wandering round the layouts - some excellent modelling on view in here! Absolutely love the music accompanying “Perry Barr” - so nostalgic! Thanks to everyone involved in organising - top show

    Fantastic, proper buses!! I remember the United Counties Lodekkas on the 390 and 391 passing our house in Bletchley where I grew up. We never had a car so went everywhere on the bus and train! Happy memories!!

    It’s been a long time since my last posting on this thread, but recently bought Bedford St Giles into the house to do a few scenic jobs on and he joy some running sessions. So missing exhibiting, can’t wait to get back showing the layout at exhibitions around the West Midlands! Meantime, here’s a few photos of the layout - take care, stay safe, well and happy!

    Browsing through my Deltic photos, found this of Tulyar at the Cross in 1981, I used to call in at lunchtimes to see what was about. Model of 55015 duly ordered, they look amazing!
