  1. Pretty sure it goes on the screw that attaches the draw bar to the loco. Put the screw through the draw bar then add the spring. Edit: having just see a picture, what I have said is absolute rubbish. I believe it attaches to the tender end of the draw bar then attaches to the loco. The hole in the loco end of the draw bar is elongated so the spring allows the draw bar to be long when the loco is moving but closes up when stationary.
  2. Bought a car roof box the other day, a pound cheaper than Halfords with free P&P so it does work sometimes.
  3. A few days is not enough. Practice and you will succeed. The size of your fingers is irrelevant unless you are doing finger painting. 😉
  4. CitizenOllie, when you say "Maybe if you sold enough we could see Hornby Adverts on the TV" are you talking to Hornby or us, because Hornby very rarely read this forum?
  5. Are you sure they have the correct couplings. Could they have stepped couplings by mistake.
  6. I have only had one set and that was when I was about 9 in the late 50's.
  7. I knew that Al hence the 😆 after the location. It will be located anywhere on a small branch line.
  8. Era = GWR or early BR. Rolling stock = Probably pannier tank/14XX/ Class 08 goods. Location = spare bedroom 😆
  9. Yes Jacob I do realise it is bigger. O gauge wagons are only about £10 more than OO. Locos about double the price but I reckon I will only have 3 instead of 103. Be nice to start something new. Probably won't be on here any more. No point.
  10. Thanks Al. It is something I have been thinking about for ages. Only going to have a small layout on the existing boards.
  11. I'm about to have a negative acquisition. I have sold all of my layout.
  12. I thought a decoder already sent 12volts to the motor or won't that be any good for the syncro smoke.
  13. The uncoupler doesn't need to be too wide and the wagons must be pushed together.
  14. Sorry Al I thought you were waiting for the loco to be delivered. Doh!
