Heljan locos have a high starting current draw with a train can exceeding 1amp, so when I fit a dcc decoder to my models I insure that have a maxiumum of 2 amps. All my Heljan models are not sound fitted. I hope that is of help. Terry.

Has any body have a spare "O" DC only, controller going spare that no longer use or require. I can collect or pay for the postage costs. OR, is there any recommendations on which controller would be a good buy. As I have done many a web searches and got my self some what confused with the information out there on intrerweb. Thank you.

I had many years ago had a VAUXHALL AGILA ESTATE 1.2 on a "X" plate that had a large boot space when you used with the back seats folded down. Terry

View Advert Green Diesels by Micheal Welch Green Diesels in View When British Railways took its first hesitant steps towards modernisation, it was probably disappointing for railway fans when the first main line diesel locomotives emerged in the black livery used on steam traction in the same power classification. Railway bosses must have had a change of heart in the mid-1950s because, on 19th August 1956, a party touring Derby works discovered Nos. 10000 and 10201 standing in the paint shop bedecked in green livery together with a diesel shunter that was undergoing the same treatment. This marked the beginning of the green diesel era which lasted until official policy changed in favour of corporate rail blue in 1965. The change was only gradual, however, and it was many years before green disappeared completely from the scene. Using some of the most evocative images available, this album will rekindle happy memories for the many who witnessed this era and provide an insight into the diesel railway at that time for those not so lucky. 112 Pages colour photographs.

I am only posting this as I was going to purchase a "O" kit of the class 22. But it appears that the shop has closed. I hope the owner is OK. The last posting on Facebook page was on 17 July stating " Due to illness MM1 Models will be closed for the foreseeable future. We will update you when this changes.". Terry

I would like to see a 30 (skinhead) in green without small yellow warning panels, PLEASE. Terry.

The bottom rod is the reverser linkage for the valve gear. The top one is for the cylinder drain cocks. I hope that helps. Terry.

I feel a argument starting I disagree, Colchester PSB is better looking as it is made of brick. Carlisle looks like a warehouse. Terry

Er why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You would think so, but I don't think that is going to happen any time soon. Terry

Crikey That was a big change. Nice dent in the front of the DMU. Terry.

Try recreating that image with today scene since the station was remodelled. "Then and Now". Terry.

Yikes. I thought "Z" gauge was small. Terry

When it is an egg cup ! Terry

Well it is 34C up here in Essex that was @ 12:45. Terry

Hi Castle, I am having to withdraw as well as this hot has had detrimental effect to my breathing. If we get an English summer next year I shall do my best to come. Terry.

It is good to know that the car park that is opposite the station i s still there. I am not sure if I am going as the weather forecast looks like it could in the middle 30C. I shall have to see how I feel on the day and what the weather is doing. (Please could we have some rain SOOOON) Terry.

I had a look on "Hotel.com" (other web sites available) to find some where to stay, but they are all approaching the £100+ mark. As it is I shall be coming A131,A120, M11,M25, then there is a choice of M4/M40. It all depends on the traffic on the day, But I shall have another look on "Hotel.com". Terry
