  1. You as well? I only went once. Once was enough.
  2. Common way to deal with Cartazzi trailing trucks, keeping the frames fixed in place as they should be.
  3. Anywhere on the Swiss rail network, if only to experience services that just... work.
  4. I feel a little unwell after reading that....
  5. At the end of the day, Irish transport policy seems much keener on roads than it is on railways.
  6. ....and you can cram so much more of the Irish landscape into the available space as well.
  7. Looks like Hollywood Foundry's product.
  8. It happens.
  9. Grand. Thanks There's a very long-term Swiss-German HO project I have in mind, which uses this colour.
  10. Is there a RAL colour code for it?
  11. They'll be dining out on this one for years to come.
  12. Spreading yourself?

    Rivets

    Yes, I wouldn't be without mine!
  14. Interesting. The build article seemed to think it came with castings.....in which case, where did the builder get them from?
  15. Possible replacement for faulty Heljan motors, for example. Or cheap alternative to Mashima for kits. Some Mitsumis come with a worm (pitch unknown), so that will need to be extracted if you're using your own preferred geartrain.
  16. 4-4-0s generally need all the help they can get, as do 0-4-4Ts.
  17. Maxons are very strong motors. Expensive, but strong. Alternatives are Escap and Faulhaber. More weight?
  18. Let me know when you start hallucinating.
  19. Dunno if this will show up, but here goes: This is a blown-up crop of the original photo, the copyright of which belongs to SLS. There's also six rivets on the door itself, in a hexagon formation.
  20. Reported on here as well
  21. Wow, the corrosion really has got into that cab door.....
  22. It might actually be 35 rivets because there are a couple that seem to be hidden by the smokebox door hinges. I've taken a close-up photo of the original photo, and will see if I can blow it up even more to verify the count.
  23. I make it 33 visible rivets on 560's smokebox front.....so far.
