Everything related to model railways including wiring, baseboard contruction, kit building, power tools, DC, DCC, N O OO Z 009 gauge and everything in between.

Everything to do with model railways.

Oh well never mind. Excellent forum to discuss any type of model railways

This might work. If it does you can look at all my pictures by selecting previous or next. http://modelrailwayforum.co.uk/album.php?albumid=61&pictureid=1403

I can do that but can't be bothered to switch on the laptop. Like I said I posted lots of layout pictures on the other forum. I'll have a go when we get back from Holland next month.

Trouble is I have pictures of the layout on my ipad but it says they're the wrong type of picture when I try to download them. There's plenty on the Model Railway Forum.

Sorry Jacob it has taken me two days and about 60 attempts to get the picture of the J15 on here. I'll have a go later.

Hornby J15. It is an absolute beauty. /media/tinymce_upload/5f0cb8dd6ee99e3bf6ffacf0573e96b7.jpg

Yes they've been planting explosives under buildings and people for many years. 😆

They use miners in WW1 to dig under the enemy to plant explosives. Trouble is the enemy did the same. Sometimes they could hear each other passing by. Officially a sapper is a soldier who lays, detects or disarms mines but became the common name for a Royal Engineer. Going back to mines dropped from aircraft, they were usually attached to a parachute otherwise they were likely to detonate when hitting the ground, then it would be a bomb.

Well done Jeff.

It's an object on the ground or in the water that detonates on contact e.g. Stepped on, hit with something, unlike a bomb that detonates above the ground on when hitting the ground or with a timer.

WTD is a lot shorter to type. As is PP BB Fishy SoT and so on.

That's me. Jacob you'll probably end up as JW. 😀 By the way the loco was £75.

If you get enough of it you won't care about cleaning the track 😉

Yes it looks like the old version. /media/tinymce_upload/2a9cbd4a3993760c21b200c885de512c.jpg

Not at all.

No problem 😀

Not at all. A real bargain.

Interesting, mine is 222 grams also empty.

A bargain price.

But still very heavy.

Brand new J15 at Ally Pally. Bargain price.

I only clean mine once in a blue moon. Occasionally if a loco falters at a certain spot I give that spot a quick clean, that's all. I think the most important thing is clean wheels and no plastic wheels. About once a year I run the Sharge round and then the Dapol vacuum.

I have a Sharge track cleaner. Does what it says on the tin, if it was in a tin.
