Hi all Not a huge amount happening here, have mainly been trying to start restoring an old Hornby-Dublo tanker that I think may be a very long-term project. It needs new wheels and couplers along with a new tank barrel ideally as the original is seriously scruffy. So far I’ve resprayed the chassis and intend to give the tank ends a coat of paint, I’ve found a supplier for couplers but they don’t seem to have wheels or bodies. John, Enigma was a lot better as a book than as a film apparently – I’m just annoyed I can’t use it as a reference due to it being technically fiction! Duke, the trick is to think of it in terms of five 2’000 word essays – I should be able to get it done by Easter at this rate, it’s due in the week after. Rob, I think we pay about £25 for SPUDs online – try www.mainlytrains.com as that’s where mine came from. I think I’d be more inclined towards a conventional British snowbroom than that thing – can’t see it being allowed out in public with those blades whirling around at the front! J.R. I was looking at some infra-red train detection kit for the trams – the idea being that you have an IR beam pointing up between the rails that reflects from the underside of equipment and turns the power off to that section. Power would be restored when the following tram tripped the next IR beam which would then turn the power back on, then power down again when the following tram reached the stop. Ideally I’d be able to fit a few of these on passing loops so that traffic would be automated and near-continuous. Bye for now
