Nearly a month since the last post.

It's been a funny month, I usually like to post each week but not a lot has been done.

The Class 74 has stalled as I am waiting for an ESU stay-alive to arrive. I don't really want to put the body on properly till the stay-alive is fitted.

Other than that she is allready to go and runs well.

She has been fitted with a third rail arch.

Watch the video Here

I have also fitted it to both my EMUs from Bachmann, another video HERE

Fitted a couple of 'Sprat and Winkles' to my NOV wagons so we now have a parcels train to pull.

Talking of the Dapol Class 73, there has been a major upgrade, something that I have wanted to do for some time, the age old problem of its cab lights being on permanately.

Cut the 'track' to r1 and the track from r1 to r2 and solder 2 wires from the resistors to the aux outputs 1 and 2. Your cab lights will then work independently via a function button. To confess, I have to thank the guys at DC Kits for this little mod.

So, it's been one of those months of little jobs, not that I feel that much has been achieved but it's all progress.

Oh, one more thing, something else that I have been thinking of purchasing for some time. Well, it happened.

I have a sprig, well, it was going to happen wasn't it.
