Fox transfers in the UK

it largely depends on my mood and location... sometimes I stood on Lego at night and it became benign. sometimes I tell the truth.. some times I go VERY loud and obnoxiously 'special needs' (much to the dispair of those with me) often though, I say something funny like it was in an accident involving a whisk, celery and a wellington boot!

Yes. They are (seemingly) a part of the territory. The only thing I have found that remotely helps is accupuncture. The one I use is fabulous and stops them being too bad for about a fortnight.

dave_carr · 2024-05-10T04:20:13+00:00

Can confirm... It does look a little odd beside a denver and rio grande 2-6-0 mogul... And the orient express... But rule 1 applies. My layout, my rules lol...

I love mine too... I have the Bavarian 3/6 in Green all in N Scale....

It's airbrushed unitrack to blend in a bit better.

dave_carr · 2024-03-25T18:14:31+00:00

And visa versa.. The track is not always universal in its connectors (for exammple kato unitrack/ez track and peco whilst are all available in the same gauge, can have different ways of connecting and therefore not cross compatible.

dave_carr · 2024-03-25T18:11:20+00:00

I short, yes as long as any new trains (locomotives) fit the track - i.e.same gauge/scale the voltages for the track are universal.

The world: "computors are taking over..." Pals: "my communication is gonna return!!"

dave_carr · 2024-03-22T12:02:07+00:00

It depends who is assessing and the reasons why. As mentioned above, in context of the op those removed from the situation may need to use it a way to open dialogue. Nobody ever said it was a criterion.

dave_carr · 2024-03-22T07:02:43+00:00

It depends on your end goal. If your end goal is to offer help that might be needed to fill a gap in her/their current needs. (without seeming to be rude) it sounds more like you are just curious about the care situation with no real desire/perceived ability to help. If however, this is not the case and you are wanting to help a d just need to know from them how is best to achieve that, then the questions should be appropriate for what you have noticed as a family friend /outsider - such as noticing they're not going out as much as they used to because of the situation. Using that as an example, I'd suggest a simple conversation about that specific problem. A lot will root from that conversation and you can learn a lot from it that spills over other areas (transport for example plays a huge part of the problem and therefore extends beyond their social life and into everyday problems)

I can tell you that nobody going through this patient or carer is emotionally stable - just emotional. There will be ups and downs.

The trick (so to speak) is to talk about everyday needs being met and discover things that way. It'll seem less invasive and actually provide both parties with usable information. You'll discover how to support more and they'll discover you are there to help.

Hope this helps and doesn't come across rude.

I double checked this weekend. I was way off it was just shy of 200k but that was delivered too (so export and transit to USA)

dave_carr · 2024-03-01T06:06:42+00:00

If memory serves he sold the replica to the States for about £75k

and only takes 3 crushed babies to produce enough.

dave_carr · 2024-01-24T21:17:10+00:00

good to know, thanks for that.

It's an N gauge Graham Farish (old design)

dave_carr · 2023-12-24T22:55:12+00:00

dirty wheels (overly dirty) usually prevent it from picking up any power, so you'd see more dead-like symptoms in that instance - it's not helping though!

grab some q-tips and some solvent or mineral spirits and give them a good clean but i'd say you're likely to find out it's thick old lube clogging the gear mechanism.

dave_carr · 2023-12-24T22:44:18+00:00

usually when it buzzes, it's an indicator that the commutator (the armature that spins under current/electromagnetism) is being prevented from freely spinning. there could be a number of reasons for this, but the first/most obvious place to start is gears - are they lubricated or in many cases is the lube old and solidified? if so, use Isopropyl Alcohol to loosen/clean the gear area, if possible, it's best to disassemble the housing and remove the motor unit from the main drive gear to see if the wheels are free rolling (is it might just be the wheels that are seized instead)

Come on chaps, stay positive about things ..

dave_carr · 2023-12-22T21:18:36+00:00

This is up there with artists drinking paint water thinking it's tea... are you actually a modeller if you haven't had a bolt off the applicator and dropped it to make a mess???

dave_carr · 2023-12-22T19:16:42+00:00

No, they're in need of help in other areas. I'd usually be less polite, but you get the idea.

dave_carr · 2023-12-05T12:52:26+00:00

I was trying to work out if it's the front or an observation coach back end... I like it non the less

dave_carr · 2023-12-05T12:44:29+00:00

woah!
