Totally agree Sparky, this morning I had a running session with 3 Dapol panniers, 2 Dapol Hall's, 2 Farish 101's and a Farish 108 all running at the same time without a hiccup all fully light and in glorious sound, it doesn't get better.    :)

Running session at the club last night: BachFar Class 33 on passenger and double-headed Dapol Class 73s (one each JA and JB) on a engineers train.  Later loaded the 33 and one of the 73s (separately) with 10 assorted PMVs, BGs and GUVs. Quite a successful evening 'playing trains'!  :D :claphappy:

Last night I ran 2 Hymeks, 2 Class 26, a class 121 and my DP1 with no issues, even though the conservatorymancave was extremely hot  :sweat:

Well I can't seem to stop buying their products so they must be getting something right. I've bought two Dapol HSTs and a 56 in the space of a week...  :claphappy: :'(

thank god for Union Mills and Kato

and as for Barwell doing repairs , they sent it back twice once to me and again to P-t--'s S----'s , they damaged valve gear both times on different engines (4-8-8-4) in the end removed the wheel sets and turned them true on the Unimat myself .
As for Dapol bought a B17 book set that was a good looking nowt , but got sucked in to buy the 9F and 67 both good runners but next came the Hymek , and again the wheels went on the Unimat.

best running loco in the fleet is Minitrix Ivat tank loco.
