    Can see what you mean Mr M! Would be a shame if that was perpetuated in newly designed bogies…. Wonder if these EPs are sat on old ones?

    It’s already been mentioned but it’s worth emphasis …. Having accessories on a seperate bus with its own circuit breaker will mean you can continue to change points if you get a track power short . Avoids the issue of not being able to change the point you have just tried to run through against the set route thereby creating the short

    Excellent news! Thanks Bachmann, good to see the interest in the Mk1 coaches is still there….

    We also operate on a wandering basis …. So have gone for eyebolts with cord through them. Mind you that gang of criminals should be enough to deter any potential learners or tinkerers. That 4 doll bracket causes angst though… and red cord next time i think!

    Hornby ones are very good for recreations of The Flying Kipper… prone to derailments!

    Yes remember seeing one through FP in 1969 behind one of the Haymarket EE4s…. In parcels service they were common vehicles on the Aberystwyth-York mails… York Mail at Aberystwyth

    31111 was withdrawn in 1983 and languished at Swindon for 3 years before scrapping so depends on your definition of mid 80s. As it is it’s a Hornby lash up …. 31111 retained her raised body side trim until the end which the Hornby blue model lacks … it was only ever paint on the green versions! Most lost that trim when refurbished so that may work to your advantage…. But you can reinstate it with micro strip if repainting Typing Class 31 skinhead in to a Flickr search will come up with a few…

    Yes we do the same but it is a mixed blessing as lights can be a useful indicator to rookie drivers that they have selected the right loco!

    Working out on drive on layout has its advantages …. Buzzed yesterday by a male brimstone and a tortoiseshell in addition to the more literal bumble bees. Overwintering peacock had left the garden shed too, hopefully to produce a new year’s generation.

    New visitors for our garden this morning…, siskins ! Very happy with that. Re bird apps I use Chirp-o-matic but if it comes up with exotica I treat it with a big pinch of salt. It was persistently trying to tell we there was a golden oriole in woods at Talybont on Usk last April.
