For a sense of balance...The sun is shining...finished work....footie on the telly....and my now  11 bachfar and dapol locos plus numerous bachfar blue riband coaches and wagons are all running fine !...both companies appear to be doing well!

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: :'(

mr bachmann

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.
