As someone who is more of a collector than user of my lovely trains at the moment I like all my stock to be boxed. In fact I bought a box last week for a Bachy 57 and some Mk1 coach boxes a couple of weeks ago. Money well spent to keep them in good condition. Need a couple of boxes for some Bachmann...

£140 posted to a member of this forum - usual postage restrictions apply - Highlands/islands etc will be a bit more.

As per title - after a pack of discs for a bachy 20. ta.

I've had a good search but don't seem to be any chassis available - I'll keep an eye on ebay I guess. Are the VBB the same chassis? Loads of vans with very similar codes.

Anyone know if these share the same chassis & where I can get a couple from? Just purchased nicely weathered body of each type as part of a lot & would like to add them to a short rake of wagons. Thanks in advance.

Well - had a good run out the last few days on the little circuit layout I'm building for my Nephews. Amazing runner now. Gave my Lima 50 the same treatment & it is superb too. Tried a 37 & the results are way different. Runs OK on the curves but judders & stops on straight track. Change...

Readyish for the boys to have a play tomorrow. Plenty left to do!

Road. Bridge. Grassy stuff & a wall.


Level crossing thing being built in the corner also.

Platforms bricked & tarmac laid & start of some hills & a road.

Next is frame the base board with 3" X 1" timber as it is just a sheet of ply at the moment then prep some 16mm ply for the platforms. Done that...

Started building this on Tuesday for my Nephews who are showing signs of interest in trains. Roundy roundy with passing loops & a station. It will be very basic with plant on buildings etc. I have been running a few of my locos for, ahem, testing purposes! Surprised the 60 handled the tight curv...

I'll try the Loctite stuff - just ordered it. Thanks Allan.

Another of my brilliant ebay purchases has turned up in a right mess. Currently trying to glue the bogie side frames & couplings back onto a Hornby Class 60. My glue of choice - Revell Contacta is not touching it. Usually takes a minute or so to weld the bits together but is not drying at all. O...

Runs like a sewing machine! Found the fault (user error).Need a decent 8 pin decoder with Back EMF - any ideas anyone? Still need to source some wheels too as running on the old ones at the moment - can't quite bring myself to buy replacement wheels that will cost nearly as much as a railroad chassis.

As per title - need the glazing for 1 windscreen for a Hornby Class 60 if anyone has any knocking around. Failing that its lazerglaze I guess? Another cracking ebay purchase...
