How many engines have you broken?:

Oh Dear,
no sunbathing tomorrow.

Shame on you stop bating us in the UK 

Serves you lot right over there for giving me a bad cold when I came over last week. It may or may not rain tomorrow (if it does it will be the first time since I don't know when) so as a precaution I have moved my open topped car to an underground Garage.

When it does rain - it really does - the pictures below are of a nearby roundabout and the TF1 Motorway when we last had a heavy downpour.




Do I remember correctly that was last December, the only year we didn't spend December on Teneriffe but went to Gran Canaria instead. Watched it on local news channel and waited for the storm to hit us but it went by!
Back to Costa Adeje this year please keep the sun shinning.

to hear that your BB is broken just for the record which bit has broken was it the couplings ?

No, just me being very heavy handed whilst trying to find out how all it worked, and if you have been following my posts you will have gathered that I am naturally inquisitive!
No problem at all with the model per see, in fact very well executed by Arnold/Hornby.
Yes of course you can miss handle anything if you try, but after checking the alignment of the three pin connector in both axis, gentle but firm pressure is all that I found was needed to assemble the couplings.
