The 4 wheel trucks became less and less used on passenger trains as the trains became faster as they were limited to ar maximum speed of 70mph. It was common to see a "club" symbol in the working time table that denoted no 4 wheel stock to be conveyed in that service.

Unfortunately the 1974 resignalling notice is locked for members only, however the 1963 notice is available here https://www.s-r-s.org.uk/pullfree.asp?FilePath=ArchiveSignals%5CDownloads%5Cbrwr&FileName=1963-lxo062.pdf Shouldn't be too hard to work out basic changes. Jim

Not currently having a layout, for the first time in years I have nothing that I am really wishing for.

A nice looking plan Jim - pity about having to reduce the radii. I know you had to contend with the complications posed by loft height previously. This time you will have to cope with scrambling down under the boards - you don't mention a lift-up/out section. Will there be one? - I think you'll fin...

Oops - double post, sorry

C.J. Freezer is alive and well and living in Loans!! Although installing the shed is still some months away, I have been busy and have been sketching my proposed stage 1 of the shed project. the next generation (1024x768).jpg So we have a through station, (nominally Northbridge) with four platforms ...

Quite sure that if you contact them via the website https://slatersplastikard.com/contact.php they will be able to at least send you a pdf of the instructions.

As I have been travelling on business over the past couple of weeks I just caught up with the series over the last couple of evenings, please to .ay that in the first three episodes I managed to agree with the judges and pick the winnerfor each,. I particularly liked the winning layout of episode 3,...

Hi Blueday - Always great to see a new project starting, you look as if you have plenty of space there. How are the curved points worling out for you, many modellers avoid these as they are notorious for causing derailments. Can you do a track diagram, woul dbe interested to know where the two track...

Can this be inserted between the struts or is a hut like a loft where you need to have an air gap between the insulation and the outside wall to prevent condensation (see sketch). This is a whole new concept for me so expect lots of questions.

I have the maroon one and the lights work fine on DC as well

Yes - totally agree, that will be part of setting the shed up, also got to think about running power out to the shed. Any suggestions as to the best insulation? I was going to use that thin plystyrene like this https://www.diy.com/departments/duralay-3mm-laminate-flooring-glueless-wood-flooring-unde...

Well anyone thinking that it would be an easy conversion from a J36 can think again, the J37 was a longer wheelbase (16ft 11in) against the J36 (15ft 6in) so that is nearly 6mm difference in 00, too much. The Bachmann J15 is closer at 16ft 1in (3mm short) possibly close enough for anyone but the pur...
