a complete newbie !

The packaging on my Xurons specifically states 'no need for filing' so I don't.
It might help with the inevitable 'Fishplate Finger' though

Thanks for the advice guys...

Will after reading more about them invest in some Xurons..

Ref newportnobby got my first 'fishplate' finger last night   

Hato clean all the tracks afterwards because of the blood

Another lesson learn't

Passed through Norton without a hitch this end. 

Maybe try keying in the info or just simply Google expotools

Probably just a false positive. Never had a problem before with Expo web site.

thanks for the help guys ive ordered some  Isopropyl Alcohol  online...

Hi Craig - did you fix your track problems and intermittent running that you posted about a while ago?

[cjbeattie]

Hey bob

Yes partly yes I sorted it the liquid I ordered off line helped a lot to clean the tracks, I found out more though it was due to lose fishplate connections than the line (I think) as when I nipped them up with long nose pliers the connection seemed a lot more constant!

Mad though just missed out on eBay of a class 25 and missed out winning it by 1 pound!!!!! What a beautiful old engine!!!!

Nearly finished decorating bedroom so will be ready to put my base board up for laying of the track..
