Those are somehat fragile and need careful handling and also needs a stall point motor as a ...

Re: Bachmann motor.
Quiet common, people want a specific loco that is not actually produced.Aussie 3 railer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 13, 2025 9:10 pm Thanks Mike. Wonder what the reasoning was behind doing that. Maybe the Royal Scott is more collectable. Gone to a lot of trouble though doing the run change and the name plate.

Re: Homebase
My local Homebase went downhill when the Aussies took over. Half the internal store lights were switched off. Since the Aussies left the lights have all been switched on but all that does is show how tatty the store look. Understand it will become The Range but hopefully there will be major refurb f...
