A question... does anyone have any comments to offer on using brake fluid with Heljan bodies ? I have a vague recollection of someone, somewhere, somewhen perhaps saying something about Heljan plastic not coping with brake fluid as well as other manufacturers ? Anyone able to make a positive comment on Heljan & BF based on their experience ? cheers

This is interesting - 4 thousand dollars (us) for a Triang train set... http://cgi.ebay.ca/Tri-ang-R3-S-R3S-Military-Special-Train-Set-Triang-59-/370486555061?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item5642b831b5 Now, I have no idea about rarity and collectability of old stuff from that era, so can anyone offer an opinion to how appropriate that sort of price is ? Nice that shipping is free

Here's a few examples for you... The Stanlow - Jarrow tanks was regularly (in the early '90s at least) 13 TEAs and a single TTA. - 47324 Colton Jnct 6E18 Stanlow - Jarrow 14029 Several from the Barnetby area - a fair few of the workings there had mixed TTA & TEA/TDA consists. I'm not sure what these workings were off hand... - 31233 + 31205 Melton Ross 100791 This one I've noted the formation in the filename: - 60064 Brocklesby 12xTTA 5xTEA 2xTTA 10xTEA 270592 Not exactly a block train this one, I think it was depot fuel being tripped to Doncaster, but not a bad example of what can be "justified" on a model railway - 47380 Melton Ross 100791
