Re: The North Circular - Austerity & Nostalgia.
The number of those shorty coaches I see at train fairs/swap meets I doubt Hornby could have made more of them! I've cut and shut them into just about every number of compartments you could want. The one I haven't done is turning one into a brake coach.

Re: Sleeper Built Buffer Stops
Whatever's heavy and available in your chosen locality. Likely to be ballast surplus and spent and any lumps of masonry concrete, cast iron which are lying around the yard. Probably will get a top dressing of reasonably clean ballast.

If you use Chrome it has a password manager. Save the passwords when prompted, then the password manager will list them out by websites but hidden with asterisks. It will display them if you supply your Windows password or PIN.

Re: Handrails
Yup your right, Sorry Elaine.
It's for things like that, that you really miss a good local model shop, where you can look at what's available.

Re: Failure and restarting
I was a network manager for an academic site, one of my colleagues asked me if her son was making things up. He told her he could access blocked sites at school. So when I got a chance to talk to him I asked him what he did. When a site returned access blocked to http:/...... He typed in https: It c...

They are the first people I'd try, "Elains Trains" is much missed.

Re: RFID tags
Even those faced with Bulleid's foray into alpha-numeric seem to cope... Can anyone explain to me Bullied's logic in using the format n1-n2-alpha rather than the more obvious n1-alpha-n2. It's easy enough to understand, but doesn't translate well to other systems. Or was it just another example of ...

Re: Wobbly wheels on split chasses - solutions?
Got it. The Collet Goods to be precise. Mine wouldn't allow two long screws to be tightened, but I've seen other examples where they touched and some where they would never touch. They didn't seem to grasp that the screw lengths mattered. The quality control bods probably knew what to do when they g...

Re: New Record
We used to get "strafed" occasionally in the days when they were practicing in Tornadoes, there being a convenient hill with trees on the top, they'd fly over at a safe height do a tight turn behind the trees and drop down so that they appeared in front of you just above the roadside hedge...

Re: Wobbly wheels on split chasses - solutions?
I've just watched a video on overhauling a split chassis, (no names no pack-drill) I spotted a mistake being made in the reassembly with no recap to fix it, so either it was fixed in the editing or there's a fault waiting to happen. Each through, threaded hole into the plastic takes a screw from eac...

New Record
Congratulations to Pete Waterman on setting up himself (and his Railnuts) to set the Guinness Book of Records Award for the Worlds biggest Portable layout. As someone pointed out, if there isn't already a record where else will they find the qualifying parameters. It's long enough and wide enough to...
