Yes, crap. But hopefully it will not be the new norm, looking on the bright side new young players can always shake it up.

Congratulations England.

What another rubbish Ashes test match. Guess this is going to be the new "norm".

There's some MTB point motors somewhere, lost in the depths of the Dutch Post Office!

there is also the possibility that the wheels are dirty - a number of the locos that I have aquired second hand or "fixed" for friends had this problem. also the commutator slots may be full of carbon from the brushes.

I get my mead from Amazon these days, brewed by Lyme Bay winery, used to call in there on our way to holidays in Cornwall, they do a good scrumpy as well as some typical farmhouse wines.

You'll enjoy the Bill Bryson. Utterly fascinating.
