The Dorset Wanderer

Car loaded and fueled- ready to go!!

Good luck trying to get a Tri-ang TT Jinty to run on code 55 track- wait for the wingers!

building coaches the Comet way- free download.

Received payment confirmation on the 16th Oct- that was from Sage pay- zilch from modelmaster.

Last time!

Excellent day and a good catch up. Some pics from yesterday-

Ordered two loco sets yesterday- just had note confirming they are dispatched today- How much better than that can you get-Awesome! Recieved this morning-WOW!

This is helpful if looking for Cornish- or Celtic names

Just used a matchstick with the wire wrapped round- worked 20 years for me.

Wait till you get the full fat retirement Bob!

Just been past the shop and it has been cleared out-

I ordered on 5th May- modest order. Had payment taken by Paypal and since then- nothing.

Have e-mailed three times and tried to phone- no luck either.

Do they want business?

I use Spratt and Winkle- very reliable with uncoupling. However, I don't use the S&W magnets- just the rare earth button magnets. Makes uncoupling much more exact and, because mine are mounted under the baseboard, easy to move.

I will be showing Woody Lane this year.

Really enjoyed the first day with Hillbrow- some excellent layouts and traders to peruse.

Branchlines do  kit's  including chassis for the IOM engines

Bachmann can supply- ring them with the actual model number.

Unfortunately common sense appears to be lacking in these selfish people. There is a case where a person was gassed by carbon monoxide caused by a barbecue whilst asleep with a window open.

But if the fence becomes damaged they are the quickest to complain.

Just selfish and inconsiderate.

I have aquired a 7mm Blacksmith E85 Toplight coach kit plus it includes a couple of sides for another coach.

However, the instructions wern't included. Although it is not impossible to work out how it goes together, a set of instructions will help identifying any missing parts or cunning assembly requirements.

Can anyone copy me a set of instructions- I believe they were fairly generic- I would be very grateful.

Ford Kuga for distances and Focus Estate for the Railway layouts-best of all worlds-

Can’t fault my 8750 received from Rails- for the money absolutely superb

Bear in mind that lead hasn’t been used in paint for years so possibility of a correct match to anyone’s memory is fairly remote

I knew the driver who passed an incorrect light- he had a supervisor on board- driving the service before the incident -it affected him massively. Was also a recipient of a concrete block through the cab roof of a 4REP so I have the utmost respect for those involved on that fateful day.
