Very broad interests but perhaps focused more on BR Midland - Derbyshire, Notts and Lincs areas in late 50s/60s - Wirksworth, Buxton, Cromford & High Peak in particular - Also GC Main Line around Nottingham + any Industrial railways (NG and Standard). Old enough to remember C&HP in working order, Trent Junction Station, Derby Works in full flow, Windcutters at Nottm Victoria, prototype Deltic at Grantham and a few other things I miss.A believer in modelling to capture the feeling/atmosphere of the time/prototype even if some details are not correct and of the right to run what I like.
Well that was fun!. My Bachmann Jinty threw a connection rod screw, dropped the rod and threw the wheel quartering out. Finally found the screw - where else but in the tunnel! All back together and sorted now but what a waste of an hour or so. Should I Loctite the screws?
