      I see it was a load of NIMBY persons from the posh end wot knackered it. Or is there more to the story. The virtual Trollys looked really good to me.

      Why does Leeds struggle to get itself a modern transport system. Manchester's just keeps expanding.

      Seriously though, I've actually got a few in the pipeline - at the computer drawing stage for all the panel overlays etc - with every expectation of progress, when I get some usable free time. I've also been doing some "proof of concept" tests on how best to address some expected issues with these builds.

       

      However, I wonder how many people round here will be convinced until I've got something I can post on a site like this one.

       

      By the way, I fully understand any constraints of space, time etc being experienced by various people here.

      Also, don't forget there's a Thanks button if it's appropriate, so as not to clog up a thread with a one-word post.

      Indeed, good manners costs nothing but are worth a lot - might be just my perception, but there's been a fair bit of grumpyness and some curt replies on some RMWeb threads of late, posts with attitude, bit of a shame. I want my hobby to keep me away from the rudeness and hassle of some much we encounter in the everyday world 'out there', not follow us about on here :-)

      A magnet should find the grub srews and locknuts (Steel?)

      Nylon covering Vacuum hose is often recommended for whitemetal and brass bits .
