Having a daughter in the Police service worries me every day, I feel for the family.
So good morning, evening or afternoon wherever you may reside, can I have a coffee, black and a whole rye sandwich with ham and pickles please.
This weekened my wife and I visited the Thirlmere Steam Fest. It's held every year in this little town about an hours drive south of Sydney, here is some vids of 08 and 09.

Anyway of course they had a model exhibition and some table sales, and lo, did I get myself a bargain..I think A Athearn HO EMD GP60, still in it's box, maybe ten years old I guess, untouched. So I get it home and find I have to partially assemble it, no problems...hand rails, glue some fittings on and so on. But I want to make it DCC, and the motor is so big, it takes up nearly the whole interior, does anyone think it still can be done?
The other small thing is I need to change to a Kadee coupling and I know I've asked this before, but if anyone is familiar with these Athearn jobs, the chassis is diecast, and tongue where the existing coupler goes is a part of the chassis. Any help would be appreciated
