Thank you. I think that i will either look to source a Lima power car complete, or a Hornby version that has the advantage of being DCC ready. It will be a simple case of swapping the body that I currently have. All that remains is the challenge of finding one on e-bay for reasonable money....... Regards, Paul

Hi there, I was wondering if the Lima motor would clip into the Hornby bogie frame once the plastic top mount is removed. I'm trying to establish if the chassis will allow the Lima motor to clip in to the channels (assuming it has got them) that will allow the bogie to slide left/right at each end. Regards, Paul

Hi Ian, thanks for your reply. I have a broken Lima power chassis and would be able to get dimension sfrom that. But in essence, I'm looking to find out if the Hornby chassis with the top plastic motor mount removed would work. Regards, Paul

Does anyone know if the Hornby Class 101 Power Chassis will take the Lima powered bogie as a direct fit, or if any modifications need to be made. In essence, do the bogie tabs at each end of the Lima bogie fit into the channel of the bogie frame to allow it to pivot? Any help/advice would be most appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Hi there, I'm looking for a Lima Class 101 plastic chassis for the power car (or failing that, a complete power car). I have tried ebay but have only found one with an asking price of £29 with postage which seems a bit excessive for a piece of plastic and weight. Is anyone able to point me in the direction of any potential stockists of Lima body/chassis parts? Thanks, Paul

I've got a load of railway vids that I was planning on taking to the recycling centre tomorrow............................unless they can be converted into something else like beer tokens.

Welcome back Jerry. Looking forward to seeing your latest micro layout. Regards, Paul

I was thinking along the same lines as Stubby, but admit that I can hear the sound of tumbleweed........................LOL.

I was driving my car the other day when I crashed into a ditch and was trapped inside. Two families stopped. One called the Smiths, the other called the Balls. Luckily I was dragged out by the Smiths.....................

The title of this implies to me that the business is going into receivership or ceasing trading rather than being ramped up by the new owner. Could I suggest that the title is changed to something clearer for the benefit of the new business owner and its customers. Thanks, Paul

Fantastic!!! I laughed that much, it made me cry. You've made my day.

It is very sad news. I'm sure that anyone who reads the article about the Maersk Honam will realise the dangers that a ship's crew face whilst at sea.

I couldn't find this article to begin with so I thought I'd post a link. Very impressive. I'm a big fan of micro layouts: http://nevardmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/layout-in-box.html
