    It would surely be prudent and easier to ensure now that the crossing nose is electrically bonded to the wing rails and also to install a dropper from the common crossing rather than try to do it later after you've fixed and ballasted everything. Dave

    Get a different photo? Dave

    Oakville and Majestic used to produce a kit for the 1366 class. I have two for sale. If you’re interested, send me a PM Dave

    I suspect that the first thing that David will tell you is to spell his name correctly! Dave

    Recycling your ebay receipts is commendable but be aware that your address is clearly visible, as are the details of the Parkside SR wagon that you bought! Dave

    Just to elaborate on my earlier post, I have taken a photo of the rail joiners that I referred to earlier. I emphasise that these are FUNCTIONAL fishplates not the easily-obtained ABS or brass COSMETIC offerings from C&L and Exactoscale. They fit superbly and are inconspicuous too. A tad too long so, fit to one rail, cut to length with side-cutters, push further onto the rail to re-open slot, job done! Dave

    Just checked and not currently in stock with UK suppliers and silly-money postage from US. Sorry. Dave

    You might want to source some of these which fit code 125 rail really well. Don’t be put off by the HO labelling! I bought some on UK eBay. Dave

    They aren’t (supposed to be) kits! Dave

    I think you'll find that it does say! You are correct - it's Ireland. Dave

    I've attached the kit list from c2011 Dave (and I may still be wrong!) Edit - I am! Several of the old Mallard kits were either dropped or presumably available only in small batches. There was a LSWR and MR steam railmotor, a GER Claude Hamilton loco and no doubt a few other kits in addition to those listed below. Blacksmith kit list.pdf

    Neither Mallard nor Blacksmith listed any 7mm scale LNWR vehicles if any type. Dave

    Is that anything like crêpe paper? Dave

    It’s not too far away! Dave

    I've been to Beijing and Shanghai many times - they are definitely smaller than us! Dave

    Clearly just assembled from a kit, here's 544: Dave

    No you can’t. Anything that is carried by air, whether in baggage or as freight is subject to strict rules. It is a condition of your airline ticket that you comply. Maybe for the first time in your life, read the restrictions here - scroll down to the ‘Prohibited Items’ https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/information/baggage-essentials/liquids-and-restrictions Dave (50 years working safely as an Airline Pilot, Instructor and Examiner)

    Do you mean like this? The earliest photos appear to show locos with open cabs and taller chimneys. Later photos of the class appear to show a larger diameter boiler and shorter chimney and usually with an enclosed cab and outside bearings to the trailing wheels. Dave

    Slater's website states: All locomotive wheels are to Fine Standard ("Finescale") profile with a back-to-back of 29.2mm. We also make and can supply axles for Scale7 b-b. 30mm is clearly more than it should be. Dave

    You should also check the genus of a dolphin - it's a mammal not a fish! Dave

    I contacted Paul earlier on your behalf. He's been waiting for material to manufacture point filing jigs. His supplier is on furlough. He thought that he'd contacted everyone who was waiting. He will be milling new jigs at the weekend and will (presumably) despatch next week. Dave

    Hi Amanda PM sent Dave

    Not always. This is Swansea South Dock area where much of the inlaid track look like this as you have mocked up (albeit with a very large flangeway!) Dave
