      Take heart that we're not all like that. RMWebbers have come to my rescue in the past with info and posted odds n sods. My gratitude was profuse to the point of annoying!

    Had to do something I was not looking forward to doing....taking my Dads layout down, it has taken me a week to remove all the boards and track, buildings and all the hard work that had been done on his layout, the layout had to go as my father is now in the advance stage of parkinsons and can no longer get in and use the layout any more. It was hart braking doing this as so much work had been done on this layout, it took me a whole day just to pack away all his rolling stock, locos. The rail...

      I think it's quite clever actually, saves the cost of the mounting plates so even though it's a little more expensive than the Peco motor it works out the same price, and the solderless connector is a bonus for some.

      It's not the shops fault it's Hermes, the shop are looking into it and if not resolved are offering replacements
