Some punctuation maybe ?
You said you weren’t keen on “ labelling “ so I assumed you were an offended cupcake ..
I’m not a lad , boomer .

As someone else pointed out , it’s an easy reference to when people were born.
It’s not some “judgement “ on the relative merits of each group, so you can park your outrage .
Park my outrage jesus wept lad...... enough

See more slack English.......never mentioned "judgement" clearly subconsciously you feel it relevant.

It's a handy and shortened way to refer to people born in a specific time frame, rather than having to say "people between the ages of 27 and 12" and next year "people between the ages of 28 and 13" and after that "people between the ages of 29 and 14".
Guess we should stop "labeling" people as Victorians or Edwardians.
You just added in more ....its boring and pointless

Has Bachmann completely forgotten that the years 1965 to 1974 exist, or is the pre-TOPS era really not that popular? I'm definitely in the market for another Blue & Grey Mk1 BSK, but @ £60? Think I might search eBay first.....
Probably cheaper to buy new, they are either battered or sub 60 notes

Or introduce the Networker family & include a Royal Mail 325 alongside classes 465/466.
They aren't family though they share a fibre glass cab. 325 has more dna with a 319

With that missive you would think a big manufacturer had announced it was shutting up shop.
I repeat we are talking about a RETAILRER here!
As such can you ditch all this "the hobby is doomed nonsense" worth of a dads army episode and get things in proportion!
probably the biggest gross retailer.

Cant recall were this idea came from? But I had some good experience with a Loctite product used in the music sound industry wasnt cheap but did a great job on ply/ Peco Pandrols. Cant seem to find the one I used but this is very close to it.
Google just re found loctite 480.....

The MicroMart is for setting the existing indentations to take tapered axle ends. It doesn't work with bearings.
It's Micromark, and if you know what you want to achieve, you can use it to tweak and clear material.
Steel can smooth or cut/remove brass with ease.
I had one from 1998, and still got it.

posted as you did your edit!
The two above are more for me to tweak and or repair a worn bearing.
As you gleamed they set the bearing at the right depth and keeps it square, which sort of helps with getting the axles true.

All the Airfix wagons had those four bits on the buffer beam, two I'd guess related to the coupling. just chop EM off.
Have a look for the truck tuner or H&A models retail a neat little countersunk drill that sets the bearing true into the axle boxes/Wiron. Most just need a little material clearing.
As for hinges try filling them back? You don't want to keep them being able to open and close do you?

I seem to recall something like a full entrance was proposed but the ferry workshops didn't relocate which scuppered it.
The Birkenhead Railway - LMS GW Joint T B Maund RCTS published 2000 is well worth a read, if you have not already!
