    I dropped into Hattons this morning to have a look at the Garratt. Very impressive and nice heavy drive bodies. It was mentioned that Jan next year some will be available (no particular version mentioned) Peter

    David, as an ex Traralgonite, loved the scene where both locos are leaving Traralgon going up the hill after leaving Traralgon Station. Brings back good memeories Peter

    Mike, I got a push-pull conversion kit (LMS) from Comet, ages ago, and converted a Bachmann Suburban non-corridor but I am not happy with it and will redo it. The other is a Non-corridor Brake Third D1735 that I started, to couple with the push-pull. The roof is just sitting on as I have heaps to do before fitting it. After seeing your efforts and Coachman's, I admit to not being in the same class. Peter

    Which is why I fitted the 3v globes because I can dim them to emulate oil lamps. I bought them from here http://www.timesaverlayouts.com/leds.html but you should be able to get them in UK Peter

    On my originals I used the 3v 1mm diameter globes with a 1k ohm resistor fed by 12v DC and had it on for over 8 hrs with no ill effects. After talking to Richard J at DCC Concepts the next batch will have some of his LED's which will be even better Peter

    On my 4mm working semaphores, I had some old Ratio kits so I cut the lamps of the Ratio dolls, drilled out holes for the globe/led and glued the lamps to the dolls on my signals. Works great and is scale size as well. All I had to do then was paint them black to stop the light showing through the white plastic. Peter
