  1. Wagons in action on the layout today. Cheers Darius
  2. It does sit a bit high on the bogies. Apparently there are plastic shims that are fitted between the bogies and the chassis - presumably to enable transit around R2 curves. Removing the shims is supposed to improve things a tad height-wise. Cheers Darius
  3. Arrived this morning Cheers Darius
  4. If I tap the wheel with this hammer and the wheel goes clang, then I know that the wheel’s there. But supposing that the wheel doesn’t go clang? Well then, I know that the train’s gone!

  18. I built these MIR kits a few years ago, however the resin axle boxes started to spread apart, which caused the wheels to drop out. Fixed today by inserting plasticard horseshoe shims between the bearings and the axle boxes. Cheers Darius
