@lighthavenmodelrailway it's a very old kit (I think Peco) which is white metal wrapped with an embossed card which is pre-printed with the livery of the owner. I hope that helps.

How do you properly fix the screw link hooks to the bufferbeam… cant seem to get them to stay…
@JAMESDEMU-RailwayModeller 3 ай бұрын
@VauxhallRailfan there should be a spring and split pin if you're fitting an etched / kit built set. The spring fits behind the bufferbeam, and the pin holds in in position. The plastic cosmetic ones just glue into place.
@VauxhallRailfan 3 ай бұрын
@@JAMESDEMU-RailwayModeller i think i might have misunderstood the whole thing then, i just glued the screw links straight to the buffer beam, and after a while they just let go. So where do i get the ones with the springs?

Hello. A very clear video thank you. However, I loose power as my Flying Scotsman goes over the frog. It will run round several times, then just cut out. I have to switch of&, let the controller reset then start again. Any ideas please. Oh, the points in question are both Hornby 00 gauge and are connected back to back.

It sounds like it's creating an electrical short which is tripping your control system. You'll probably want to put insulating fish plates between them and see if that solves the issue.

That unboxing... Oh my word. (Mickey-take, presumably?) Anyway, I persevered (2x playback, half the pain!), and I'm glad I did... I've watched several people's takes on the SL-40 buffer, and you are the first I've seen removing the extra (unprototypical) securing clips. What a difference! I shall certainly follow suit. Also leaving the lamp bracket is interesting. I would have probably just sliced it off. Good stuff!

@@JAMESDEMU-RailwayModeller The magnet raises the hooks without actually touching them. On old Triang couplings, touching the raised hook will cause it to magnetise, temporarily and remain raised, for a few minutes, so that loose/fly shunting can be performed.
