    is looking for a source of sprung buffers for the front end of an A3 and V2 in OO without much success! Can anyone point me in the right direction please?!

      you want a pair of Spencer's double acting buffers. You may get more answers if you ask in the right place.

      Thanks for that, I'd tried various searches but not come up with anything, but those few key words may well be the catalyst! The Markits NE type look pretty close, but I can only find a line drawing of them thus far!

      As Ozzyo suggests, try the forum instead of SUs

      I always have this problem when i do my first night shift at work it drives me nuts. Rest in bed all day with the light out works for me :D

      That's my routine for the start of my week, I was just restless and the less I slept, the crosser I got because I wasn't sleeping! Viscious circle!

      Aye, I think wifey will be glad when its done, as the lounge won't be a modelling den anymore (and she gets a weekend of peace and quiet!)

  4. JaymzHatstand

    Harlech Castle has had a coat of undercoat and is looking smart! The ballasting on Scrayingham is almost done and the forms for Whitborough's appearance at Thirsk have been sent off! That seems like progress!

  13. JaymzHatstand

    Scrayingham has been re-wired and tested! It all works too! A bit more testing and the new senics can begin!

  14. JaymzHatstand

    70000 Britannia looke rather smart heading South from York this morning. Plenty of clag in the cold air!

  15. JaymzHatstand

  16. JaymzHatstand

    the first point on Scrayingham has been wired and tested, two more and the isolating sections to go!

      JaymzHatstand

      Thanks for that, I shall await a possible announcement with anticipation and the hope that I can hide whatever it may inspire from the domestic management!

  19. JaymzHatstand

      Bad luck lads. I am suffering from SMMBO saysdecorata de hall so no modelling for me (what's different?)

      I don't think Sir Alex was too pleased at Man Flu being dumped out of the FA Cup.

  20. JaymzHatstand

    3 of the 5 roads on my traverser are now fitted, once they're all there and soldered/tested, there'll be an update on the Scrayingham layout thread (at last!)

    1. Beardybloke

      Beardybloke

      Woo! Your challenge is now to finish the upgrade before the first train runs on Hafod Las Mk.3...

  21. JaymzHatstand

    is cutting track for his 009 fiddle yard, it's slow progress, yes, but progress non-the-less!

  22. JaymzHatstand

    has finally started soldering bits onto the fiddleyard board for Scrayingham, now I just need some connectors and power can feed through from the rest of the layout! Progress at last!

  23. JaymzHatstand

    is glad to see RMWeb back, and would like to thanks Andy and all the others who have spent their fesative season sorting out the various problems and pitfalls that had occurred. All the best for 2012 and fingers crossed for a stable server! Thanks once again!

    article on BBC breakfast about 'men in their sheds' but not a mention of celebrity shed fan Pete Waterman, or model railways in general!

      Or Rug or Brian D (and others) who are frequently a "man in a shed"
