Further evidence, then, of domestic black holes of which I have writ elsewhere. Lost items always re-emerge from the black hole in exactly the place where they should be and have looked ten times before. Good that it has restored your faith in your fellow man, though.

Cheers,

These are thin-walled, about 5mm diameter, but very light so won't add much weight to the wagon.

Yes - for normal weight wagons plastic in one form or another is good however for these 3-D print jobbies I need more ballast.

Anyhoo, I actually had another idea and have just bought some sticky back lead of the sort sold in rolls to golfers and tennis players (used to adjust the balance of golf sticks and tennis racket ). I think I can lay thin strips of that within the underframes, in between the trusses. For other printed vehicles I have used Deluxe Materials liquid gravity but correct fitting of that on these vehicles is harder as there are no real cavities...

Some old U2, from 'Under a blood red sky', through 'Joshua Tree', No line on the horizon' and 'All that you can't leave behind', with oddments like 'Miss Sarajevo' with the heart rending Pavarotti (aka The Passengers) and, of course, this epic from Live Aid

Phew!

I should have informed folks that your visit to Deadwood well predated the time when I knew I had the two locos. You were never under suspicion  .

Gawd, for a minute I thought it might have been me!

Hello folks

A few months ago, I was looking through my rolling stock collection and noticed that I could find only one of the two Kato AC4000CW locomotives that I knew I owned. Hunted high and low for the missing loco, but not a hair of it could be found. That it had evaporated was unlikely, that I had dropped it in the rubbish bin accidentally, possible but also unlikely. My mind then concocted the notion that it had been pocketed by one of several visitors to my layout and I even had a person singled out as the most likely culprit. Many years ago I had come across a person who just liked to pinch items from friends and shops. It's a mental disorder called kleptomania.

To make a short story long, the missing loco turned up a couple of days ago in a place that was not hidden away, but where I hadn't looked.   I'm happy on two accounts. First, that I found my missing loco, and second, that my loss in faith in my fellow man was unfounded. In fact, I'm now quite ashamed to even have suspected that it had been stolen.

Ah well it's chugging along quite happily now.

@Tank
It could be one of timing, if the forum hosting provider or somewhere in the network did an upgrade overnight UK time, this would explain why some of us downunder saw issues middle of the day. Given the time differences.
