They are, but it's not a NEMS fitting - it seems to be specific to Hornby. I just wonder what I should call it. ..though, earwigs seems clear enough to me.. Handy things, even when not fitted in the 'correct' socket - it's easy enough to attach with a small screw and the claws can grip round a bit of the exposed thread.

I had to buy some of these from the Train Man last week... ..my description of them as "earwigs" didn't help, but the Hornby packaging only calls them "Couplings" and gives the part number - is there an official name for this style of attachment?
-
Some other signs have also gone reflective. ..I may have to have a 'face'lift.. This sign has been there for many years - and is getting a bit tired now..
-
Well, after the controversy that this caused, I went armed with a black felt pen and some white sticky tape, but was confronted by this... ..a new sign - and reflective, for some odd reason..

My other Forum has been going about eight years and we've had the cops round four times..... It has been fairly sedate lately, though we did have a threat to fire-bomb a café a couple of years ago.

They could just deny that they were within 150 miles of it at the time - it'll work eventually.....

People used to buy tickets to the station past Gatwick and get off early, as it was cheaper - so they passed a by-law making it an offence to get off before your stated destination.

Well, it was an RN sub after all - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-34177386 .

The market-testing seems to have yielded a positive result....

Happy Birthday.

All will be revealed in good time, I expect.

The Facebook link is not available (to me) and the Twitter link brings up this - https://twitter.com/irishrailwaymod ..... Is it a manufacturer, or a retailer? That's a shop location, if they're using the ground floor..
-
Will do. Let us hope that it keeps his beets regular....... I assume that you will be taking charge of the remote control?

Scraping the bottom with that thread title....

If it has pick-ups from the rails and it has a DC motor (which it will have), then it can be DCCed, subject to the practicalities of breaking into the wiring and hiding the extra gubbins successfully.

I worked with this sort of thing - I've never trusted electricity.......

You don't have to be Indian to be blasé about railway tracks - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-34065369 - that's on a Southern Region track, where the third rail was (luckily for him) isolated for some work going on - normally it would be 750 volts and would kill you now.
-
Is that true? The inside rail is connected to the outside rail, and vice versa. I don't see it working.
-
In the previous Bombay Railway documentary, the driver they featured was asked how many fatalities had occurred whilst he was driving - he wasn't sure, but felt that it was probably more than seventy.

I note that we have Gardaí called to deal with disruptive passengers for the second time in two days.
