MOGUL

Me again - just wondering did anyone get a delivery yet ? Still nothing at my end and when I check the status it just seems to keep pushing out each day, was 29th, then 30th, then today and now when I check it says tomorrow so who knows. The website (the TNT one not this one :-) ) is absolute crap as far as I can see.

Been waiting in vain also.. Did see the weed spray pass while looking at a likely looking delivery van though!!

I think the split rail might be to tie the sleepers together to prevent the moving as the rail expands. Maybe its uneven because points and crossings are packed by a different tamper than straight rail so will P&Cs are kept well packed while plain track will subside with time.

Big problem on the Kingscourt branch apparently, the line is being walked around every three weeks to try discourage stealing the rail. I was told this was due to members of a "certain ethnic minority" offering miles of old rail track to scrapyards in the north. Also a problem in Limerick where two large spools of brand new copper wire was stole from the S&E the night after it was delivered and in Connolly where a guy in a white van was caught helping himself to a load of gear from the CTC compound.

I use this glue with those kits its very good:)

I found this stuff good to but it's quite runny to use when your starting off modelling, needs a controlled hand

More than a prblem for 740!!! It caught fire and blocked the running line for around 4 hours. I've posted a video of 207 hauling it through Drogheda on youtube.. Link to follow

Most probably due to the disruptions to service due to an obstruction on the line between Drogheda and dundalk. Put the DD sets out of sequence.
