With regards to the roof equipment moulding, I had half an hour spare earlier so had a go at painting the insulators and busbars. I painted a thin coat of Klear on first and then added the paint. Will give a second coat tomorrow.

It is a very smooth runner. Certainly a lot quieter than the old version. Cheers Simon

Hi Stephen, The Dapol Mk3s are done the same (not checked my Farish MK1/2s), sort of half way, they are in line with the gangway when for coupled, the buffers should have the saddles removed and pushed back, coupled to a loco (not using buckeye) the buffers should extend past the gangway. I think all model locos 33/1, 73/coaches which feature this coupling arrangement (even in 4mm) have had a compromise in this area. Cheers Simon

90019 Penny Black on hire to Virgin trains. Mine has just arrived and it is a stunning model (dare I say model of the year??), done several laps of the layout in push mode with a rake of 8 Dapol mk3s and a DVT and through a few different crossovers in the fiddleyard again in push mode with no derailments etc.

Thanks Rich, yes think my big coat might be wise, I do have a portable oil fired radiator but very reluctant to plug it in and switch on! Noticed some of the locos I have tried have been slow to get going and need a few circuits to warm them up. Not really had an issue with this before but then the radiator was probably used more to keep the chill off. Cheers Simon

Received one body, not received the second but expect on its way. Thanks for sorting. Cheers Simon -

Looks great David. 😎 Regards the uncoupling, I was struggling, the older Farish coupling design works fine but some of the NEM couplers causing repeat issues. With all the fixed rakes on Dallam, I have put several drops of Johnson's Klear into the coupling pocket and that seems to have done the trick, stops the couplings bouncing up. With Klear it still allows easy removal of the coupler if you wish to change types at a later date.
