Darius43 Posted April 16, 2023 Author Posted April 16, 2023 Watching the trains go by in the shed today Cheers Darius 1 Quote
Darius43 Posted April 16, 2023 Author Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) The MGR train did several circuits after which the magnetic couplings began to fail as shown below. The couplings are from West Hill Wagon Works and are the latest of several failures I have had with their couplings. I am forced to conclude that they have a good concept but their execution and engineering is poor. Alas I won’t by buying anything else from them in future. I plan to make my own fixed bar couplings (like I did with the Freightliner Flats) and create permanently coupled rakes of 5 wagons with tension locks at each end.

Darius43 Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 The layout has now been dismantled in preparation for my friend’s (and shed owner) house move in March. A brand new shed is to be erected at the new house and the layout will be reinstalled in the new shed. Dismantling was undertaken with minimal damage to the “scenic” part of the layout. The new shed will allow us to iron out the bugs that were popping up with the original layout concept. Watch this space… Cheers Darius 4 Quote
