0-6-0ST J94 Class '22' ‘United Steel Company’

Yes I realised that but I reckon he was just making a blanket statement. You must admit it would be quite easy to let a DCC loco run out of oil and keep running, it could be standing in a fiddle yard or on shed or just out of view, you might have a very big layout. Better to be safe than sorry. If he didn't make the statement and you left it running oil free and it burnt out the unit, there is a good chance you'd be knocking on his door. 😆

Roy maybe the 'do not use without smoke oil' was referring to DC not DCC. The unit can't be switched off with DC.

I've been using those couplings for years Vespa. Apart from plugging in they are ideal to replace older couplings that are held by a screw.

Modern Peco code 75 and 100 also need a converter rail of sorts, special rail joiners. As detail and accuracy improves over the years these things will keep happening. It's not a problem to anybody really. Just needs a little adaptation.

Funny that JJ, I wondered what RAF was on about. 😆

Hey just giving some advice RAF that's what the forum is for. Racing two locos on track laid on a carpet isn't a good idea. I'm pretty sure you've advised people that what they are doing isn't good. 😀

Sorry Jimmy I don't think you should race locos. Running them at full speed is very bad for them. There are many posts on here about locos breaking and I bet this is why. 😀

That's not fair LC, you have posted the picture on two forums. You know how weak I am.

Very merry.

Your wagons look great 37, that's a lot of whiskey.

Looks great Roger.

Oh good you've convinced me. Wasn't difficult was it?

Should I get one LC?

Can't stand the stuff but my mum and sister worked there.

A Horlicks 7 plank wagon.

I wonder if they were all the same?

Blimey I hope the ones on the other side haven't fallen off 😮

Well my model does PP.

Thought I'd do it in 1/16 of an inch. I imagine you're imperial as opposed to metric. The end of the bars are curved. You'll see when the picture arrives.

Length 17/16th inch. Height to top bar 3/16. Number of bars 3. Spacing just under 1/16 equally spaced. One side only. Picture coming.

Don't need to. He won't be going near my layout until he is about 13, by then I'll be 80 and won't give a damn.

I haven't got a little controller to ask, got a 5 month old grandson so got a few years before he takes control.

Had to bite the bullet and buy a new one from Oliviers Trains.
