Re: Accucraft Baguley Drewery - Thunderbird loco
Glad to hear Accucraft sorted out the iffy bits. Odd about the interference with the radio. I don't think any of my engines have suppressors fitted and I have not had a problem for years. It used to be a major point of argument when running a 00 train set on the carpet when the rest of the family we...

Re: Cleaning after using super glue
Stainless steel sewing pin to seal the nozzle (instead of the provided cap) - as long as the nozzle hole is no bigger than the dia of the pin. Use one with big plastic ball for the head not the all metal pin (easier to pull to open) Also keep the glue in the fridge. What he said. I also tend to use...

Re: B@&&*Y Internet
4G on your phone or hotspot it so you can use your computer. BT have hundreds of free Wi-Fi locations as well providing you are a customer. Other ISP's provide similar schemes, worth checking. Mobile internet is iffy to say the least in my part of Wales and while I did make the most of the local pu...

B@&&*Y Internet
I am finally back on line after losing my internet signal in early Jan. I am with BT and I have had a intermittent problem for months, after two engineers visits to the house and several "we have sent a bloke to check the box in the village" events. I have been sent a new Smart Hub. Surpri...

Re: Where do you start?
With regard to atmosphere, that's a really useful thought. I've spent my spare time writing a 5 page history of the fictional Welsh county in which the railway exists, which has organically then developed a geology for the railway which I'll factor in. It's going to have a north Wales vibe, but be ...

Re: Merlin Spares
As Tony said try Simon.
However, banjo bolts are used on a lot of other things, fuel systems on cars for one. If you have a local Diesel injection specialist they may be able to help If you take along the parts.
Can you post a picture of the bits and where it screws in to?

I think to get the scale look, you would have to make them yourself.

Re: Smokey Sophie - A Roundhouse/Riverdale Amy coal fire build
I agree. The toning down has made it a more work like loco. Did working locos keep their colours. Most photos I see of the old working locos are black/dirty black. But now when you see them on heritage lines, they are coloured, as well as black. It depended on where they were and who looked after t...

Re: RH Double Fairlie
The cost is what it is, it what it has to be. Roundhouse is not a charity, they pay their workers, holidays, sick leave, etc. They have to send their kids to school. They have to devote time and a profit % to new product development or perish, they store stock, they give customer service, it is a p...

Re: Birthday Party
The milkman is rapidly becoming a rare sight in the UK. Does this explain the falling birth rates in some areas?

Ahem, I have four large scale engines that cost me less than that in total. (Cough, cough don't tell the wife.)

Re: What did your pets have for Christmas?
Thank you folks. It was very sad to say goodbye to Thicky as it was when we had to have Fatty put down in the summer. It was a very odd feeling coming into the house on Monday last week and not having something furry running up to me and demanding food or a fuss. The new cat has settled herself in v...

Birthday Party
I have just attended a birthday party for one of my parishoners who is celebrating her 107th birthday today. Now rather infirm in body she is still fairly sharp in mind. It was quite an amazing sight to see her and my son ( who is days away from his 7th birthday) sharing a joke. One hundred years se...
