      As a former LM employee, well done! I assume 350s and 153s will be your basic traction at Cov.

      153's for toplink only I'm afraid as far as I know it'll be 350's & 323's

      A bit more serious coolant leak and it had saturated the carpets making them slippy.

      I do like a nice Class 153. The service between Nun-Cov is one of my favourites. Saying that working on them may be another thing....

      I had to pay 7.50 postage the other day for a tin of railmatch paint. It's royalmail they won't send paint so that's probably why it's so high.

      It would be cheaper to buy a airbrush and mix the colour if you have a sample... Well it is where I am!

      Aim to use every piece of track from a Peco range of your choice at least once and see what happens
