Nice Video Roy and love the bin lorry and workman. Good job with the repairs and you were lucky to find the missing part on the garage floor. In my experience once a part is lost it is usually gone for ever. Cheers for now Malcolm
@roystrainsАй бұрын
Yes, I was dead lucky finding that little spindle. I heard something fall on the floor when I lifted the loco up of the track but not knowing what I was looking for till I found the fault. It had bounced under a drawer unit that was on casters. Couldn't believe my luck when I found it. Thanks for posting Malcolm.

Well done, Roy, very impressive modification to the Metcalfe Footbridge. It is an excellent piece of work for your layout, and you have a nice-looking layout, too. The filming was first class, and what you did with your little partner was magical and reminded me of Bernard Cribbings Hornby adverts of yesteryear. I also noticed that you got the ex MP Michael Portillo. calling in on an exchange service for one of his many Bradburys journeys around the UK, lol. BFN, John.
