Prepositions are the hardest to learn in any language and are the places where even those who are more or less fluent in a second language make mistakes. Two-way prepositions in German are mostly associated with either movement (take accusative) or static position (take dative) - so presumably the layout is positioned under the cups. You did the right thing checking with native German speaker - occasionally things don't follow the rules..........

Thank you so much for the information - didn't realize it was a kit. I am building my own version of Buxton and have constructed my own fuel point. Combination of kit bash and scratch built and I was struggling with the ladders/walkways and actual the roofs of the pump buildings. Might see if MS Models would be willing to sell me the components for the ladders/walkways.

Curious where you got the ladders and walkways from?

Where is this? Inspiration for sure.

What a neat project - good luck.

Could be a smudge on the picture, but it looks like there is a faint exhaust plume above the leading end of the 25?

What does decoy mean here in the context of railways? What is the purpose of a decoy?

You will ultimately have to program one of the decoders to essentially invert the command to go forward - I have done this but I have forgotten how (not much help, I know). It's not that difficult per se but I wonder whether this inquiry would get more responses on the DCC threads?

I believe "Newton's 4th law" is just a special case of nature abhorring a vacuum......

Pikestuff?

I have slowly been accumulating Hornby 110's to make the conversion to 104's - I think I will still do it as a learning experience but I am looking forward to getting a couple of sets of this Heljan model. I have voted for this model for several years in the annual wish list poll.

Thanks Owd Bob

PT/Keefer, Perfect - thanks so much. Best, Tex

Hi Paul, Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. Can anyone guide me on how to find out when a specific class member had the air brake modification? Specifically, I would like to determine when 08611 had the conversion performed. Thanks in advance, Tex

Hi David, I appreciate the response - it was what I suspected, but was not sure. Further questions for the collective. Were some built vacuum only and some dual braked? Or were air brakes added later? Thanks for the help, Tex
