Afternoon all Sounds as though everyone's having car problems at the moment. Think my Discovery needs an oil change - she took a bit longer to fire this morning than normal. Well, is reckoned to be the way to keep a 300TDI engine going - change oils and filters regularly, give it a good workout every so often, and new cambelt every 50k miles - should see another 200k miles out of it at least. There are still plenty of '89 Discos (first production year) about, and I often see original Land Rovers dating back to the '50s still going, though many have been restored - passed a Series 1 107in station wagon yesterday, production of them was only between 1957-1958 and not many were built - around 5'500 for both UK and export. Pretty much an immortal vehicle - run it for 30 years, then a rebuild for the next 30! On the railroad, nothing to report - awaiting a big pile of bits mail-order, including a couple of sets of LGB metal wheels, a small pile of components for a Fleischmann N scale loco, and a pile of Fleischmann HO couplers. Must get round to taking a photo of the loco I've repaired so far - I'm guessing it to be around 10 years old though it still runs well and looks good after some replacement cosmetic parts and new couplers. The German stuff's expensive but it lasts - have a Minitrix N electric and matching push-pull train that has to be pre-1989 (has "made in West Germany" on the box!) but still runs well. Bye for now
