Dont forget to soak your hands in diesel then you can pick up the motak roll it into a ball and put it in the traction motor gear case !! simples.......

Pretty sure one down south Cholsey ? was quietly scrapped but I think one emigrated up north ?

Has anyone any news on these locos I had heard that one had quietly been scrapped on a preserved line anyone any news on the others ?

Glad to hear the DJM cogging has been banished ,will now invest in one of them !

Does anyone know if these are still fitted with the DJM Mechanism or have Bachman redone the chassis .

Great to see you back Steve !

Yes i believe the shop closed  a while ago ..

Has anyone heard anymore from Steve ? been very quiet .

Nice progress there Is Love that Milk tanker !

Ta Hal  for the advice always wrap stuff in Acid free tissue paper due to an unfortunate experience with one of my American locos that was packed with yellow foam ...it reverted to it pre production petroleum state ruined the paint on the Loco ,as well as forming a yellow gooey mess everywhere !...yuk !

Ta for the replies ,Edwin didn't want to appear obtuse as to the electrification ,sometimes units will use diesel if there is a problem with the pan i just didn't have the knowledge of what state the electrification works were around Bath Spa , hence the question (,have put the proper station name in 

in to stop the references to electric fires and large bathing vessels filled with water !.....)

While staying at Bath the weekend noticed that an 800 class started rom the station on diesel power didn't have time to visit the station ,so has it now been completely wired up ? and did they fence off Sydney gardens ?  with palisade fencing .

Can I ask what glue people use to fix their backscenes  on to boards or if you even use boards  Ta......

Nice to see you back an building stuff !

I remember seeing this layout in London a while ago and it was then stated that the railway was run to the BCR time table so there was only one or two movements during the whole time it was exhibited must say it was just as enjoyable looking at it without stock as the standard of modelling was and is superb! Thanks for reviving this classic layout looking forward to seeing it again !....

Sorry to hear your news Steve ,but on a positive note its great you are back !

Just a quick ask are you stocking Heljan ?

Mr Brian Rolley of this parish is the man to ask ! he is wise in the ways of dumballs road !!!.....

Great news that Steve has got a clean bill of health ! who knows maybe there might be some more news yet !

Just a quick ask ,did the NCB ever have a Sentinel as per the new Dapol Model ? and on the same theme what livery would the GWR one have been ?

Sent mine back about a 2 months ago was a quite quick turnaround ,once again it was a thumbwheel that went wrong they replaced it free of charge  !
