Quote from: lil chris on June 17, 2026, 08:19:51 PMJust got some good news today, following my checkup scan in May I have been told I am still all clear. For anyone who does not know I had cancer in 2023 and had a opperation, then had chemo in 2024 and was told all clear. So well happy, I had a feeling it would be ok because I was booked a telephone appointment, but still glad to find out proper. Been told by the hospital they will be keeping a check on me for the next 5 years, which is good to know.

Hi Rob, I've got a few packs of these that I gave up with, so I can let you have them for a small deduction on my weathering costs!

Hi
 
When N Brass announced they were closing a couple of years ago, I bought some of these excellent container securing hooks and chains. I should have bought more as I have now run out and need some more.

Does anyone have any that they don't need, or know of anyone who now produces them? I need them in N and 00.

Something like this would be good for the NGS to produce maybe?

Thanks

Rob

Quote from: EtchedPixels on June 18, 2026, 02:54:27 PMI am actually very impressed that Revolution have been able to pull this off but I guess Ben is probably one of the best connected people in the entire rail industry  :)

Hi Alan

That is exceptionally kind of you but it's only fair I emphasise Revolution is very much a team effort and everyone does their bit!

As to KR Models; I don't really have much to say.  Our paths did not cross because the niche KR was in has never been close to the niche we are in!

Different businesses work in different ways; some will succeed and some will fail and I guess as customers all we can do is make our judgements based on individual products and individual companies as we see fit.

cheers

Good luck with the repairs! :thumbsup:

Unless the motor itself is what went FUBAR, it should be as simple as I posted here;
https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?msg=884867

Scott said that he'd tried that, without success, but hasn't posted any photos of what it's like now so you'll have to see when you receive it.
