Great to see a little more of the whole layout. Pity the show was too far away for me down here in Sussex. Fantastic atmosphere. Dave.

Bachmann Class 66 Bogie Frame Removal
dasatcopthorne replied to Bill37's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
There is a clip at each end the the frame, where a 'lip' on the main body comes 'through' a slot. Basically you need to slip a fine flat screwdriver blade behind the frame at the rear end and lever it outwards until it jumps over the lip. Then lift the rear end and slightly push the frame forward to slip it off the front 'lip'. Slipped one off for you so here a some pics. Hope the helps. Dave. -
A late friend of mine owned Platform 2 and another friend was the assistant. The latter an ex-Club Member of Carshalton & Sutton MRC. I remember being able to rummage through their 'scrap' box for parts to make EMUs Dave.

Recently received my first order from Scale3D.co.uk. Very pleased with the Flue prints. Used Halford's Black primer and then weathered with powders. Also excellent service. Dave.- 384 replies

Sector plate electrical connection
dasatcopthorne replied to Jeff Smith's topic in Layout & Track Design
Here's my solution. Albeit, I use DCC but I'm sure you can adapt it. My swinging 'table' of 3mm ply is fed from the pivot end. At the layout end it is held down with a length of Copper Clad. Two pieces cut with the same radius and the swing, hold the moving tracks and the fixed tracks. Hope this helps a bit. I line up the track by eye and feel. Dave. -

dasatcopthorne replied to dasatcopthorne's topic in Exhibitions
Ray. As I hinted. Joe has apparently relinquished the role. I have emailed another name the appeared in his (automatic?) reply but they haven't answered. Cheers. Dave. -
Hi all. Does anyone have a confirmed contact for the Bluebell Railway's model show this year please? Hint! It's not Joe Jenner. Dave.
