    Depending on what stock iam coupling dictates what I use to couple it with. A magnetic tipped screw driver is my favourite weapon of choice but I do use bent wire taped to a small torch. However with the wire method coupling up diesels with airbrake stock and the various hoses hanging down does turn the air blue from time to time! Paul

    Heljan to Heljan coupling is terrible for me. The hook point seems to come that far back it almost closes the gap, so I have trimmed off the very point of the hook allowing the link to fall into the hook. Paul

    Just a little up date. The first picture shows some ballasting i did in September, then the layout was hidden away till a couple of nights ago. I did some weathering on the track, but still needs more. I have decided to leave the wall at the front off. As usual you always end up having a little fun with the stock! Paul

    Even though I have only read the first few pages iam enjoying this read. Most of the monthly mags I seem to get through in an evening whilst the boss is watching junk on the TV, but this seems to hold my interest along more. Hope there's more editions to come. Paul

    Great pictures. Just thinking if you had 10,000 tons of whatever to move from A to B and every day 50+ tons of it came back because the wagons weren't fully emptied it would generate another part train load! Paul

    Does it happen? Is it more appropriate to steam era. Modern box wagons unloaded by grab - are the corners swept out? Just curious, never seen pictures (or model) of wagons being swept out. I guess even scrap metal would need the human touch for non metallic stuff etc. Thanks for any Answers! Paul

    I got the lokpilot for the large prairie tank as I was happy to have no DCC sound, it costs enough for the diesel locos. Mind you fitting it to the prairie is not for the faint hearted! Well done and enjoy your loco. Paul

    In the December 2020 issue of Railway modeller there is a great project on building a short o gauge layout. I thought of this thread whilst reading it. Paul

    I think end to end rather than a circuit is best suited to your space. Info here re the autocoach radius: Pail

    Ixo produce a number of 1/43 buses mostly European but there is a Bedford OB, AEC regal & AEC Regent. I think Hattons listed the the Regent. Prices on Ebay are around £35ish Mark. There are also a number of familiar trucks produced by IXO Paul
