  1. You can still get axles for Romford/Markits wheels to suit the old Triang-Hornby chassis. IIRC they're 9/64" diameter. There's both plain ones & knurled ones for mounting the gear wheel. Dave Cleal at Mainly Trains (usual disclaimer) stocks them, & he also does suitable replacement coupling rods, as I recall.

    Perhaps things not for discussion on a family-friendly forum?
  8. In theory, yes...but I've had several 'signed for' deliveries simply left in the porch... Never had one for another address left like that, mind.

    His perogative, when all is said and done, Michael. It takes all sorts, as the saying goes. Personally, I thought it looked pretty good as it was

    Surprisingly not. However, it seems to be the only railway item on offer by the vendor. Of course he may have got his inspiration for the price from our friend...
  12. Nice job, West_riding. You know, that loco wasn't really a bad piece of work for RTR when it first came out, was it? Pity about the 'orrible solid wheels, of course...

    Indeed. Note, too, his attempt to sidestep his obligations with Royal Mail as the sender... Another seller to avoid, methinks.

    That's his perogative, of course - as it is the perogative of others not to buy at silly prices...
