Hi all - I acquired (another) Farish China Class 25 recently - but one end had been fitted with dummy coupling, MU jumper cable, steam & brake hoses - the previous owner had also removed the NEM pocket, so I had to source one in order to retro-fit a coupler.
The Bachmann Spares site does not list this tiny item as a spare, but it seems to be available as part of a complete bogie frame, which seems a bit of an overkill to me.
After looking around I found a pair of unused Gloucester Wagon Bogies (which come fitted with NEM couplers). The NEM pocket on these are clipped to the Gloucester bogie and looked like the one at the other end of the 25, so I pinched one - and it did the job. So where do I get another to 're-instate' my wagon bogies?

Happy N-gauging!
Kev E.

ps - the 25 runs lovely and no longer has red tail lights!

So choose just one! 

No wagons or coaches at all? No suburbans from LNER or SR? No brake first or BSO Mk1? There must be something?!

Catching up!

Roxy Music - yes from a great album
Boz Scaggs - er not his best
Nirvana - no a bit weird (even for me)
Sixpence... - almost a no
Dracula - yes until the vocals kicked in
Half Man Half Biscuit - oh crumbs a definite no
Waterboys - OKish
Kraftwerk - sounds the same as everything that they do

Aren't you lucky 

@port perran That's the only Waterboys track I have ever heard

I can't remember if The Waterboys have featured on here before?

Mrs PP and I saw them at Glastonbury in about 2005 or thereabouts and very good they were too.

Here they are a few years later on the Isle of Wight with what is possibly their best known offering:

Just what I was about to say!

As a reminder:

Quoteminimal wish list of models either never produced, or not produced to current standards - one wagon, one coach and one loco/multiple unit. Plus one re-livery of an existing model

After two years, my wish list remains the same:
HEA
Mk2 BFK
Class 110

My choice of relivery would probably be a 37 in Intercity.
