I'd rather try the proper way for this, but being that it is aluminium I may be able to use a router sled if all else fails

I am looking for access to a milling machine. I have some aluminium T-track for slotting into the track on a table saw and I need to reduce the height of the T-track by probably less that 1mm. I have three of these that are 450mm in length that I need done. If there is anyone who couold help in the Wexford/Waterford area or anyone that I could send them to, I would appreciate it. Thanks

I did a Bachmann 150 conversion to the commuter livery a few years ago. I made a few physical changes including filing off the roof ridges at the cab ends and filling in the small window behind the cab and replacing with a vent (some plasticard will do the job). I also changed the lighting circuits which was quite tedious. It's on my workbench if you want some inspiration:

I also got an offer - never noticed the option to send out offers on any of my listings. I once received a message from a person on an item that I was selling, didn't bother responding just blocked them

Try reading and changing the value of CV29. Change from 0 to 1.

I use Inkscape for converting images to SVG.

Does anyone know if these trains are operating or if the recent rain has affected them?

I asked that question before and got the following answer:

Class 181 aerials I saw a post elsewhere of someone looking for aerials for the 181 class. It seems that only some locos were fitted with these aerials, and though they come in the box with the Murphy Model offering, they are often lost as they are so small - only about 3.5mm long. It was not the 3D printing project that I had in mind after my last post, but a few iterations gave a resonable result. They pass well within the 2 foot rule - even up close they are pretty similar, apart from the colour. 4 rivets included, for those counting. If anyone is in dire need of replacements, let me know - lol.

Recently got a package via DHL over the €150 and no issues. Delivered in 3-4 days.

The Wexford show is the 30th April and 1st May - a little over a month away

These reaprays might or might not suit depending what you are looking for.

One method would be to install microswitches under the point, either operated by the throwbar or by some part of the point motor. The switches would be on-off and could be used to switch a sepperate 12V power supply to LED lamps. Make your own mounts or buy them if you can find ones to fit your motors - example here: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/233325153647
