Aussie Fred Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Just received my Hornby dongle from the UK - 6 days after ordering it through Amazon, cheaper price than local in Oz and no extra postage, meanwhile my castle ruin from Sydney took 11 days to come from Sydney, just 1100 km away. Australia post are useless here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellocoloco Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I really must leave Ebay alone for a while, but at £25 I couldn't leave it! I need the Lima HO coaches to go with my Trix Scotsman. I'll change the wheels and couplings and a repaint is on the cards. The whole set doesn't look like its been used much since the Christmas of 76 or there abouts. The 33 runs great and once it gets some oil I reckon it will be even smoother. Lola not included with purchase! 😎 I have collected a few Lima HO coaches over the last couple of weeks and must say they are not that bad. OK, there is an odd mould line along the side which I will have to see how much effort is involved in its removal. I have already replaced the wheels on a number of my coaches to metal wheels of a slightly smaller diameter and along side my 66s and A3 they don't look too bad. I know the Mk1s ride too high and I'm still undecided about what I do about that. The Mk2s are better but still not quite right. It is not fair to compare them against state of the art models from this year - the Scottie, and around 10 years ago for the ESU 66. If only TT120 had been launched 30yrs ago. I could have taken out my scale/gauge frustration so much easier. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I remember getting one of those Lima 33's when they first came out. I thought mine was that strange 'Thomas the Tank Engine' blue, not Rail Blue, but the running number is familiar - cost me less than £5 from Beatties, Liverpool. I seem to remember it was pretty fast!! Al. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew Man Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Just received a Stanier 4P/MT, R2730 Yesterday. Absolutely mint condition and a snit at £71. Have just fitted an 8 pin TXS decoder loaded with the 4F profile, it being the nearest I could see on the list. Runs and sounds fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
