Yes well you two guys hit the nail right on the head, it was a big job removing all the dirt and getting the pipe out but we really had to find out what the problem was. The walls had in fact pushed in at the bottom by pressure of dirt and moisture as well i think. As well we cut away the slot from 85 mm to 100 mm and sliced the edges off so the parts nearest the rails was bevelled. But we found that the camber was out slightlty and this was enough to cause the cow catchers on these locos to foul on the pipe. The whole thing is nearly back to how it should be and I run the three locomotives involved around the track all together for about 2 hours then rversed them and run them for another two hours and not a single hickup. Not a lot of interest in this subject i guess thats because it is factual and dealing with true to life problems that do occur on garden layouts rather than something whimsical with no real substance.
