Last Sunday I bought a few items from the Monmouth model railway exhibition. I bought Smiths Crisps and Kitkat boxvans (always wanted them when I was little), a Dapol railbus kit, a Hornby Dublo sprung bufferstop, a Triang short TPO coach and Triang Hymek in BR Green. The Hymek belonged to one of the Barnhill MRC members and was being sold cheaply on a table behind their Kingsfield layout. A test run revealed it was a poor runner due to a broken bogie wheelset, so they swapped the wheels with those from a blue Hymek also being sold. It then purred round the Kingsfield layout almost as quietly as their usual high end locomotives! The TPO is being converted to a 'neverwazza' sorting van by removing the TPO apparatus, blocking up the holes and adding a few small windows.
