    Not sure about that Jacob. 😉

    Rob while we seem to have gone off topic what ever that was, I must warn you that SWMBO and her sister are visiting Limassol on Tuesday for 6 days so don’t go out after dark.

    She does look rather splendid. Thanks PP. Hope they don’t spoil it when the weather it.
  4. walkingthedog
    I bet PP. Look forward to your pictures..........please.

    You could be right. I wouldn’t buy one what ever the set contained but that’s just me.
  7. walkingthedog
    "I am surprised at the number of "loose" Santa Express Loco's that are available to purchase" I think this proves that the set isn't particularly popular. People are just keeping the wagons and dumping the loco.
  8. walkingthedog
    Or you could buy a cheap second hand loco and decorate it yourself. You might start a trend. 😉

    That’ll work, I prefer pliers, don’t like levering things on plastic wheels.
  10. walkingthedog
    In that case small pliers and remove as if unscrewing. Does the head not have two flat faces?

    Good grief what did you use asocket set? Just gently unscrew them. You need a nut spinner. Spinner is the proper term. https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/con-rod-nut-spanner-double-ended.html

    Why do the coupling break?
  13. walkingthedog
    The advice is unplug you controller and remove all decoders equipped items when ever you use the the applicator.

    Try contacting this ebay seller. He has a lot of different couplings. Scroll down his page. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/hornby-oo-spares-x9717-4x-pendolino-power-car-couplings-with-4-screws/153117538650?epid=1144291042&hash=item23a684395a:g:W1EAAOSwdkZbFlsO

    I've added stripes, tiny brush, tiny drop of paint. 😆
  16. walkingthedog
    Are you going to add stripes to the dots?

    The phrase "We're sorry, the website has sold out of this item and we're not expecting any more stock." doesn’t necessarily mean the tyres won’t appear again. This has appeared before and the item has reappeared. I reckon "we don’t know when any more will be in stock" would be better. Fingers crossed.

    I notice with interest on PP's pictures how thin and almost invisible are the front steps, unlike the ones on the model Posted by New lad.

    Have you checked their spares on here. They’re getting there. They do 13 different traction tyres. In the past I found that any one will fit a myriad of locos.
  20. walkingthedog
    Impressive, they certainly have a good turn of speed.
  21. walkingthedog
    I have quite a few assorted unused traction tyres from Hornby and Bachmann. Had a look to see if any were suitable for the 14xx but they had all perished. I got rid off all my tyred locos asap. 'orrid things. I have seen quite a few people on here say that the locos run OK without them. Guess it depends on the loco. Maybe a wheel change should be considered.
  22. walkingthedog
    Heat shrink is a bit shiny and tends to go a bit hard once shrunk. I reckon tyres from another loco would fit. Problem is finding the right ones.
  23. walkingthedog
    Even out of stock on ebay which is unusual. I wonder if another type will fit.
  24. walkingthedog
    Thank you Colin. Very well explained.
  25. walkingthedog
    Jacob if you buy a loco and post it on here several might think that’s nice I think I'll get one. The magazine you bought today has more than likely been purchased by a large majority on this forum some 3 weeks ago. Still you carry on, I know you will. 😆
