    AFAICT the FS was released in Both BR green and LNER green at the same time in August 1968

    Well hopefully not the S&D or somewhere Dr Beeching has had his eye on, after all might make it tricky getting back to 1985 if the track has been lifted.

    Well I guess a bit NSWGR, has a a bit of C38 about it. Of course VR steam was much better looking.

    Well this this is the third time and am too old for it now I agree, there is, but with property prices they way they are, who knows what one will get. Also being seen as too old, too far away, makes the job thing difficult to say the least. Guess building a layout is something that could of happened just for the lucky ones out there.

    Would you believe, all I wanted to do was build the layout of lifetime, my N scale PRR empire in my 15 by 30 foot shed, TT3 of shillingstone and a bit of 00 in the garden and now all as to be chopped up and burnt. PM me if anyone wants one of the biggest collections on TT3 and Triang.

    yeah well, when you find all you have it is boxes of models for layouts planned in your mind and nothing else left it is hard to do something. Now I look at it, no career now as was made redundant, no wife as she left and now house or anywhere else as that need to be sold and all the money will god to solicitors and no hope of getting anything back after working all this time with so little to show for it makes you a little low.

    Here is one of mine, I have always liked the 3F and was very happy to get this one, only because it has Mk2 couplings so is from 1958. It was a good ebay deal as also came with a dock shunter also with mk2s. Cant say I have come across others similar, everything here I have seen has mk3 couplers.

    I think this point was well covered in Yes Prime Minister Sir Humpreys response was, that is why all such negotiations are conducted by Civil Servants such as himself in advance of the meetings.

      Used to be able to get that sort of thing repaired - but those places have gone as well ...

      As one what worked in theatrical hire. Medium quality CD players were on the company hire stock. Costed into £33/wks. IF it lasted for a year the unit was bought paid for and in profit. Some managed three or four years before needing minor repairs.

       

      It's usually components that fail, capacitors and joints dry out. The mechanical bits go on for ever it's drive bands and the electronic bits that die.

       

      Little known fact most electronic items are powered by smoke.

    Who knows, will have to go through it all, there at least 4 of those sets that we used for the layout and another half dozen boxes of single masts, but unfortunately only a few gantries. Noticed all the empty packets of joiners and bases too so we ended up using all mint boxed stuff but all seems back now. One of the good things was it all worked very well with no problems, layout was all super 4 and series 3.

    Sometimes you notice things after you actually do them, on closer inspection, the early catenery instructions was more interesting than I thought: Moldex Australian version with princess and TC coaches on the cover List of Australian/Moldex built Triang Note the R257 is described as a double ended diesel with operating pantographs!! I realise the only production change was the roof but still! Overhead instructions illustrating double ended electric and Sydney Suburban car I dont know why attachments have gone upside down again, were rotated/resized, using Linux so maybe an issue.

    Interesting discussion on Triang catenery, which prompted a visit to the store room Late version catenery Early version Base attachments Standard set, about 30 years ago two teenagers went through all this boxed catenery to build a layout for the local exhibition so no longer collectable. Incidentally the triang tape left white marks on all the posts after 20 years of storage. Different types of contact wire, joined by little metal tubes More posts in original boxes of 12 Bent contact wires - done to allow passage through the tunnels to the no-wired fiddle yard
