I have stoped updates on my new Alienwear PC, it work fine for me, My other PC had no end of problems with windows 10 updates. Spent days trying to get it running as it should, the thing is that windows 10 put date in the future will cost money, this is why Microsoft released it for free.

I hope the brown stains are glue?.

Did any of these models get in to the shops, as my local one not had any?.

New gaurds van, somthing not seen before.

Had and email from Hatton's this morning looks like the BR black with late crest (train pack), so look's like your only be able to get it in a train pack?.

Hi Have you tried using this stuff http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiPwY24xLPPAhVnJcAKHWJQBQ0QFghKMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hobbycraft.co.uk%2Fmod-podge-gloss-236-ml%2F569311-1000&usg=AFQjCNFDcNOPxViZNO9ktLRq-C6dfKFRnA seen it used on a number of layouts and looks very good.

Hi I just got an Alienwear 17 a few days ago and it runs fine, so I am not going to let it do any windows updates at all, Last time I did with my old PC it killed it.

What's a P4/EM motor?

Hi I have a set of these and they drag a lot, oiled wheel bearings, helped a little, But not much. As Ian has said I can not see a way to make these freer runners?, with out replacing the whole bogie?. Darren

Also look at the screws and nuts used in the front of the loco, covered in solder and paint.

Dave you been round and taken a photo of my hand built track..... J3233. Great set of photos. Darren

Your right about them not doing the chimney any more, i have 41298 sitting on my work bench with no chimney. Started the model knowing that they did the chimney, went to order it, no sign of it any more on their site. Darren

Hi looking at the new model 41291 they have the chimney wrong for this loco. The locos up to 41289 had the squat LMS cimney, 41290-41299 the taller thinner/slightly tapered chimney and 41320-41329 had the taller larger diameter one (like the earlier one but stretched). Some earlier locos were retrofitted with the later 3rd type. This all came about to draughting tests done at Swindon on an Ivatt 2-6-0, where a longer chimney was found to improve performance. It is written that when the loco returned from Swindon to Derby the chimney by then was a hideous shape, due to the test mods, where at Derby the external shape was made more pleasing, aesthetically. As an aside, the locos from 41290 also had the round eave cab profile and the later pattern pony truck with integral guard irons. Also if you look at the photo they have on there website they are still showing the new model on the old chaise,confusing the issue. I did send this info to Bachmann when they announced this loco pointing the chimney out. Darren

Hi Just love the point work you have done, do not see that done very often. Great bit of work, please keep the photo coming.

Well done Ray, looking very good mate, like the way it's coming on. Darren

Had a look, only seems to have the SR ones in. Now got myself a set, had to go to Hatton's in the end.

Hi has anyone having a problem getting hold of these coaches, As today i went into Town to two Model shops, One a model railway and one a toy shop that has a model and Hornby. Both shops i visited had been sent none of the coaches, both had ordered them in. I know they are available from the two box sifters and Hornby direct But would have liked to support my local shops, Now i will have to use one of them to get a set. Pity as i like my local model shop.

Cattle dock?, i did not know there was one still there, is it still used as i thought all cattle where moved by road now?. Darren

So Hornby are doing them in SR Olive Green and Crimson, so both of these are OK for Early SR and Late BR/SR are they going to do them in SR/BR green mid 50's?. Darren

Hi Anyone know the R number from the Carmine and cream one's, looked on the Hornby web site and can not see them?

Looking at the color it looks like BR early freight stock bauxite to me?. Darren
