    Trouble is the top track has be clear of the bottom one to allow a train to pass underneath. You need at least 2 inches and no matter what you use there isn't much length to rise that much.

    It will arrive, waiting excitedly for it won't speed it up, much like waiting for a kettle to boil. Now take a deep breath and relax. 😉 Must be a nightmare at your house approaching Christmas. How many sleeps till Father Xmas comes? 😆

    Quite nice to uncouple wagons by hand, just like the real thing.
  4. walkingthedog
    Keihtp look at my picture above. Uncoupling never fails and unless you are using a huge spatula how the heck can it derail a wagon? 🤔 This is a reconstruction of an uncoupling posed by models. No wagons were hurt taking the picture.

    Here's my home made version. /media/tinymce_upload/e8abd7e8a9c50a203efab223ea69b242.JPG

    If you use a brush it must be a good one and it must be a new tin of paint.
  7. walkingthedog
    I usually use a brush.

    You've changed the wording so my reply doesn't really apply now. Regardless of dirt, fluff, static or what ever, sods law says you'll tread on it.
  9. walkingthedog
    I refer you to the second sentence. 😉

    I have used Humbrol spray cans. Very good but spraying improves with practice.

    Slough had a lot of 61XX locos. I reckon the cement wagons were ferried to PR with small locos and once the train was made up a larger loco pulled them to their destination.
  12. walkingthedog
    This was my thought when I said the line was light. So what about the big locos you say you saw pulling cement wagons.

    Modelmaster and Fox to name but two for transfers etc. Are you brush painting or spraying?
  14. walkingthedog
    Yes I realise that Fishy. I just couldn't pick it out amongst the far too much track.

    Two of the OP's four posts are whinges about Hornby. Seems to have given up as he didn't get the response he expected from us. 10 Class you say the model you saw did have the linkage so perhaps his had come adrift and was loose in the box.

    I just enjoy the program for what it is. Interesting entertainment. 😆
  17. walkingthedog
    Thanks. I now understand. A reverse loop it isn't but it has the same effect.
  18. walkingthedog
    I still can't see the reverse loops. Not saying they're not there. I would have thought Hornby would have made and tested this layout first.
  19. walkingthedog
    As long as they do a thumb down as well as up.
  20. walkingthedog
    Every time I try and use a reverse loop I either end up in a siding or go off somewhere else. Surely they must have built this layout.
  21. walkingthedog
    Does it have reverse loops. Looks like them but they don't seem to go back on themselves.
  22. walkingthedog
    I agree LC. With fencing I put plenty of PVA down and stand the fence in it. Usually does the trick. Might need holding in place temporarily until it sets.
  23. walkingthedog
    I have PVA'd it. Use plenty and it will work well. You can't stick plastic things together with it but it will hold almost anything in place.
  24. walkingthedog
    Google is a matter of luck. 😉
  25. walkingthedog
    That's the point of the post Jj. The ones with the yelllow ends usually have a silver roof. Ravenhooks is grey. So silver is not close enough.
