I believe Dave is unwell and the company is closed at the moment, I hope things work out OK..... Eoin

Or Use Deluxe odourless super glue (no blooming), the green label one, remember not to glue the top rail into the back of the cabs so that the body can be removed easily! Eoin

Next Fair = Jan 19, 2025

Some things to try;- Is this happening with other locos? This would indicate the track or the controller is the fault! Try running them on a friends layout. Try running them on a separate/isolated track that the controller is only connected to. Reset the DCC chips to the factory defaults. Remove the DCC chips and run them analogue, if they run the chips are at fault. Eoin

Hi JasonB, So sorry to hear the story, I was wondering what had happened....... You could setup a quick temporary board with two 8X4' sheets, lay some track and run trains? Then in the future revisit Petersbridge when the above is a distant memory. To the future...... Eoin

KMCE had mastered 3d printed pointwork but sadly is not with us anymore..... https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/7108-kmces-workbench/page/10/#elControls_221856_menu He did give info on his track making in some of his threads like above Eoin

Sad to hear. May he rest in peace.

Came across these in my Da's photos;- Connolly station back in the 80's Eoin.

The last Fair of 2024, not to be missed;-

A very nice man has donated this kit of castings to the cause...... It includes a full set of castings in gunmetal & cast iron, full set of 11 drawings, frame steel plates, steel angle buffer beams, and LBSC's book on building the loco. The loco was designed by LBSC ( Curly Lawrence ) based on a contractor's shunting tank locomotive. This is his 3.5'' gauge version, running on coal with a boiler pressure of 70 to 80 lb. The loco is heavy enough to pull one person relatively easy. Boiler, body and general stock materials are not included. This project will be stashed away until current projects are complete......... Eoin.
