Back home in North Wales after another fantastic show. The fourth time I have exhibited in Stafford and probably my favourite show of the year. To many familiar faces to mention but did anyone notice the 'celebrity' visitor? I had a selfie with him in front of my layout, if your into cars you may recognise him. It was Workshop Phil from the TV programme Car SOS.

The 'Hymek Swansong' Railtour - 22nd September 1973
Nick G replied to Halvarras's topic in Diesel Hydraulic Group
I model modern image and live nowhere near the South West but have a soft spot for the Hymeks. Probably the most stylish diesel ever? -
Van is loaded, except for the stock and chilling out with a beer and curry before a 05.45 departure from North Wales.

I came across this photo on flickr taken in 1991 which fits in nicely with my layout era so I had a go at modelling it. Wickham type 27A Mk IV Trolley DX 68010 at Darlington Park Lane CCE Depot. 1991. by Adrian Nicholls, on Flickr- 687 replies

Building another O gauge micro layout and weathering stock
Nick G replied to Nick G's topic in 7mm+ modelling
After I put a plea for help on a Facebook forum and twitter asking if anyone who does 3D printing could look at doing me some lamp irons for a Wickham trolley which are quite a unique shape. Someone who follows me messaged me asking if I had any dimensions, using a lamp iron from a BR brake van as a guide two days later these dropped through my letterbox. Painted and now fitted they look great. Cropped photo of the catual lamp irons attached also.- 687 replies

Hi John, Although my layout is DCC I have a seperate 12v transformer under the boards to power the yard lamps (with the supplied resistors) and the LED's that light the layout. -

Thanks John, that's exactly what I do, stick a blob of white tack in the lamp slot so it doesn't 'wiggle' around on the lamp iron. I use a pair of tweezers to fit and remove lamps. -

Hi Julian, Lamps from here and they will slip on & off the lamp iron as they have a slot underneath. https://www.modelu3d.co.uk/product-category/detailing-components/loco-rolling-stock-lamps/tail-lamps/ -
I will pop by and say hello.
