Hi all Have finished repairing the Fleischmann loco, now looks as good as it runs. 3 pole motor, driving 2 axles with traction tyres, picking up on the other truck. Amazingly it'll cruise around steadily at low speeds despite this! John, Comrade Khrushchev came out of the debate ok - the "opposition" made assorted errors (such as having a very loud person who hadn't bothered to find evidence to support his views... very easy to out-argue them!). Conclusion essentially was that he was well-meaning but a bit hopeless - he had good ideas and intentions but they didn't work. Bearing in mind what he had to work with I'd say he did pretty well - USSR was still recovering from WW2, Stalin's terror, food shortages, etc. Currently waiting for more snow. Wish I lived "up north" in the Pennines - half the roads up there are closed and they have about 25cm of snow forecast! Our best snow coverage was on the car bonnet this morning - though when you hit 60mph you end up with a personal blizzard effect! Bye for now
