  1. Not sure what radius the wheels in that photo would be able to cope with. Doesn't look like much movement is possible. Smaller power bank sounds good, even if it doesn't last as long.
  2. As they are not symmetrical, does a Class 50 have an official front and rear? I would say Hornby always show the loco pointing left, but the website and the catalogue have it differently.
  3. The Mk2F are era 7, the Mk2E are era 8 ? I have no idea if this is correct in real life, did the F come out before the E?
  4. Mid 1980's is the look I'm aiming at, so era's 7 and 8 with some era 6 stuff hanging around. Also including a heritage line so I can run the older locos, but will only get ones that look significantly different. I don't want a fleet of green A1/A3's or MK1 coaches. Finally, the loco must accept a Bluetooth sound speaker!
  5. I think the article title should be changed.
  6. They leave a different size gap, but I don't have any platform pieces to see how they compare or look in real life.
  7. Thanks for heads up. Four era 7's ordered. Might get one or two more later, want whole train to be able to stop at a straight station which will be about 125cm (coincidence!) long.
  8. Would have liked the three way point from original catalogue to have been mentioned. I'm keeping a space for it.
  9. Junction signal description says they are 17cm high... Think they've mucked up with the prices too, home are cheaper than distant.
  10. Looks like I'll have the fastest fuel tankers in the west until the coaches arrive.
  11. PECO station parts can be cut to make narrower platforms. In The Greenwood make laser cut platforms that are 47mm wide.
  12. Seems to be a Tillig Modell piece that plugs the gap: 83105 (G3) - 43mm. Maybe one day they'll duplicate the whole range of track pieces.
  13. I've just had an email saying my pre-order of double length track has arrived at their warehouse, so worth keeping an eye on.
