I think Union Mills are made in the IOM?
Lovely metal bodied British outline n gauge locos

that they are.. or were as the case. Actually stuck for accommodation on the island if you have any contacts ? 

Anyone here lucky enough to live on the isle of man?  interesting oasis in the irish sea , trains and bikes , could it get any better?

Surprised they were never '' disposed '' of to prevent them making it to market.

Is this a bit fishy? seems to be fresh stock coming from china?

Is there an alternative to soldering for circuit boards? I'm assuming that Super Glue etc are insulators rather than conductors?

Not actually railway related - I'm replacing the battery in a mobile and one of the two connectors broke away from the board. The other unclipped fine.

Just thought that IF there is a solution, this might be applicable to the PCBs in locos as well.

Very hard to get them in focus for the photos as they're so tiny, these are the best I could take. The connector that broke away should be to the right of, or above, depending on your perspective, the "2".

I do have a soldering iron but the tip is bigger than the whole connector here!

 

 

My suggestion to this is find your local car electronics guy , one that does the likes of mapping and ecu work , they are set up for fine cleaning and soldering using scopes and solder guns, they would also be able to test the joint. With you knowing the fault it would be a very quick process.  

i know where this is , was used a a shed , in very bad condition and surly not worth that price tag 

It's good beer as well

Could be going down the wrong track with that one 

Bargains, now a vegetarian for the week

Quite agree i usually pick up a box of them at Beaulieu Autojumble each year use them on all the models as well as on all my vehicles from Austin to Land Rover via JowettAndy

Aye, much the same now. There aimed at professional use more than say halfords stuff. The biggest thing is nozzle cleaning, always do it! Wipe the lipstick off the dip stick... saves trouble later on

As a mini teaser, IRM has 13 new tooled lines to launch lining up for the coming year, as well as delivering on the ICR, mk2b and 2c and much more  A little something for everyone too. 

Is that one a month, every month for the next year fine by me  

Need to sell the dishes to make room for them all, job lot and the dishwasher go's free, she'll probably leave by next year anyway

Is there any word on how many packs are up for grabs ? or remaining stock levels... trying to budget getting what i don't want to miss 

I worked in the maintenance department for the (not mentioned) company that runs ocean pier, this where the liner splits in two to be loaded and unloaded, It didn't cause to much trouble or congestion in my eyes and I worked around them long enough , this however is mostly a political issue and the company I know would only love to get rid of the liner to expand the yard further move more tonnage and get more revenue, fairly obvious what's happening there.

Dublin - Waterford 2003  -2005 trains were a mixture of MK 3 sets, Push/Pull sets and Cravens. Some of the  Push/Pull sets I travelled on were not worked in Push/Pull mode by the 201's and they ran round at Kilkenny and Waterford. One of the Cravens sets sometimes included a coach with the buffet at the end. They all appear in Ernie's Archive on Flickr either photos or on video.

One from up the hill at Waterford in June 2005
