He might be able to get it commuted to a wife sentence....

The gap, if it exists, is very slight - sometimes it's enough, sometimes not. I had to remove a tiny amount on one, and a little bit more on the other. Try your locos a few times in both directions through your shortest left- and right-handed points and the tightest curves - if they survive, you should be OK. You only need to shave the very outside corner of the coupling socket, nothing that will affect the location dimensions, should you ever wish to replace the coupling later on.

I have found, on a couple(!) of occasions, that it has been necessary to shave tiny bits off the corners of the coupler socket, or they strike the pin-mouldings on the back of of the front skirt insert and then cause the odd derailment. Only happened on two locos out of about a dozen that I know of. See what happens in your case.

It took several days to finally convince him, but one of the lads had a picture of a mine that had just been stone-dusted. They did this as an explosion suppressant, the dust would be lifted into the air by any blast and mixed with the coal dust, greatly slowing the combustion - also, the dust would be very light-coloured, almost white, and this reduced the likelihood of further ignition from the radiation from the flame front. He was completely convinced by that point. Probably still is....

I was going to suggest it only burned white coal. I was at college with a load of National Coal Board lads and we managed to convince one of the more innocent types, who worked for Michelin Tyres, I think, that coal mines weren't really that dark, as coal was actually white until it was exposed to the air for a few hours after being dug out. In fact, some miners even wore sunglasses because of the glare and that was why they often had those clean areas around their eyes. I wonder if he still believes it...

It means it's oil-fired - there's a (dirty) white circle on the smoke-box, too - it meant that they had some priority in movement. Damn! A second longer than Flick - but, I did put all the letters in mine....

They don't mind, it's what they're for.... http://imgur.com/

I upload mine to Imgur and paste in the link from there.

Definitely. Always willing to learn from others in delicate situations. The Cravens would really benefit from slightly less vivid seating - and a few passengers.

No stamina, these women.

Indeed, he gets a quiet weekend all to himself - and then she'll be back home with his magnifying stand on Monday.

Old advertising hoardings?

Great shots there - the Mk 3s certainly were much nicer from the passenger's viewpoint.

Ah. That sounds familiar....

A friend of mine has one, probably from another source. It's quite effective. Seen here at 1.05 onwards. Edit - Whoops, I should have mentioned that it's in the green shed on the top right of the picture.... ..it can be seen from other angles later on..

Interesting tweet just now - "The 17.35 Heuston to Waterford service will be terminating @ Kilkenny due to high tide . Bus transfers will be in place for rest of journey." - .

I'm very sorry, but my orders are "No prisoners". This is going to be an understandable mistake.

Say that when you've been hit by a 40mm - if you can........

Mmmm, you might like to keep your head within the turret structure... http://www.daystoamaze.co.uk/pages/product890.tpl

I'm sure you know somebody that would be prepared to flatten it with an iron.....

Presumably you're thinking of the N Gauge aficionados - they'll be the ones with the precision tools... http://www.lidl.ie/en/Offers.htm?action=showDetail&id=14149
