As normal one of the springs has come out of the coupling at one end. Two replacement springs are included In original boxes I have replaced the quite frankly hopeless original coupling mechanism with new Hornby MK3 bogies with integrated couplings. These are far more robust but still occasionally derail ( not nearly as badly as original coupling)on my layout when being pushed by class 47 with DBSO. Fine when being pulled. These are superb looking scale length coaches let down by the original, very delicate coupling Advertiser Tay Bridge Date 08/12/23 Price £80 Category OO / 4mm scale

Hi I know this has been mentioned before but has anybody found a successful replacement for these dreadful couplings? I have a rake of MK3s , DBSO and 47 711 so need it to work being pulled and pushed. It keeps derailing when pushed. Very frustrating. Preferably getting rid or sorting the spring type system on it. as said before it spoils an otherwise great model. All suggestions will be appreciated Chris

Just ordered the book too. Likewise stuck in the house! This was my era, when locos were ...proper locos ! Will help with with the development of my new N gauge layout Glasburgh . funnily enough I was just discussing with one of my (also stuck in the house) friends today and talked about where /when we would go back to .....got to be that period! You could get a runaround weekly ticket giving a weeks unlimited travel between Edinburgh-Perth-Arbroath for £6.30 ! Yip, £6.30 unlimited 55, 47, 40, 27, 26, 25, 08, even 101 and 121 DMUs to name but a few . Now some of the time I should of course been at school.....well 6th year anyway... Chris

Cheers mate.

This is the start of my 2mm journey. All my old stock has been sold and the first new items in 2mm scale have arrived. Some second hand track has been acquired and a new baseboard ordered. The new layout is to be 8 feet long by 2 feet 6 inches wide. Currently the spare room is being decorated quickly before the baseboard arrives in 10 days time. What is it to be? I had a long hard think about this and decided that what I really wanted was a piece of my happy train days circa 1979-1982. No change of period but a change it most certainly is.I bought the Peco plans book to see what sort of thing could be managed in this space. After some consideration I have decided to create a representation of Dundee Tay Bridge. It will be far from factually correct as I do not want to build a station that is below ground level and can't be seen properly. Not much point! So I am going to use a bit (a lot actually) of artistic licence and model it flat. It will be the same set up. 4 platforms, two bay platforms (2 and 3) and Platform 1 going south and platform 4 going north. Focus will be on local trains DMUs and a couple of London services to Aberdeen and of course Aberdeen to Glasgow services. it will also allow me to create the Dundee to Edinburgh and Glasgow trains from the bay platforms which were mainly class 26 and 27 but often gave a bonus loco! My brother (Glasgow George Square) reckons I will not be able to see the stuff properly in this scale without a magnifying glass but I am amazed to find the level of detail on the newer Farish and Dapol stuff. The two things that have arrived so far a Class 26 and single car DMU are quite frankly superb. Again DCC control so have been purchased with fitted DCC chips. That, I do not fancy doing in 2mm so I suppose wee Bro has a point! Next post will be when baseboard arrives and track planning can commence. Chris

Hi Just an update to announce that Glasburgh has been closed! All the stock sold. Layout dismantled. A steady increase to the grandchild stock dictates a rethink of the spare room. So, amidst the painting of walls, moving of furniture a new venture is planned. one of the things I miss about small laoyouts is the ability to see trains running. To this end...a shift to 2mm scale for 4mm is required. New blog started. Goodbye Glasburgh chris
