    Ian, Owning 8 ML 5s and 1 DJH 5 , I consider the ML to be superior to the DJH kit especially with regards to lost wax castings as opposed to the DJH whitemetal offerings. I will root out a set of instructions and if you PM me with your address I will post a set on. Pete

    I had a Grange too. Built it, thought it looked terrible and threw it in the bin. Pete

    A couple of days back a friend demonstrated how to remove numbers etc using Brake/Clutch cleaner. Please note cleaner not brake fluid. The numbers were removed in a matter of seconds using a cotton bud and the remaining cleaner quickly evaporated with no apparent detriment to the cab side. Pete

    Here we go again. Lets nail the driver. I don't consider a driver as having a SPAD just because some bloke on the ground sticks 1 arm in the air. It's amazing how everyone wants to blame the driver and report them and yet a driver can see lots of things wrong but never reports the matter. Pete

    Green handsignals were used at night in shunting to indicate to the driver that the movement was to be made slowly . Eg side to side when buffering up.

    Or any light waved violently at night.

    Why limit it to local government. The whole country leaves a lot to be desired.

    Titan, I think you are getting a bit confused. Control air pipes are used in multi working and are actually named Regulating air pipes, painted white . I think you are referring to the Main res pipe painted yellow. The straight air brake can only be operated on the loco and cannot operate the straight air brake on any additional loco. Pete

    Well I will say it. All this trouble over 25 points or am I missing something ? Pete

    Gordon, I think I have the solution to your shed options . Sell all your stock and go ex LMS and then all you need is a roundhouse and coaling facilities. No ? Just a thought. Pete

    Gordon, Does the layout of Widnes not appeal to you ? The 2 main lines to Liverpool (bottom side of the shed) could be incorporated into the shed plan as storage/departure roads. Pete

    Thanks Russ and a happy New Year to you too. I knew you would know being ex Thornaby. Have to say they were my least favourite loco to work with, give me a good old 45 or 47 to anything else. Cheers Pete

    Yes Which was a problem for the second man,as you had to be careful where you placed your cup of tea.There was a set of controls at each seat (nose or cab leading). If I remember correctly both power handles moved irrespective of which seat you where driving from. Therefore if you were sat in the non driving seat and put your cup of tea in the vicinity of the power handle it could go flying all over the desk. Disaster no tea. I'm sure Russ will put me right.

    Also if the signal box received a coat of paint you knew the box was closing. Pete

    I know that this is not really a bargain but there are 4 new Sir William Staniers on e bay from Malta at £199.99 with £15.95 postage as of 09:35 this morning. Still a bargain though compared to other recent prices. https://www.ebay.co....yEAAOSwX3FaIRis HTH Pete
