Hi Stephen, thank you for watching terrific to hear the video brought back. Happy memories.. All the best. Oscar

Hi, sorry about that I selected 7 pm instead of 7 am back to normal next week. I've checked already. Oscar

Hi Paul, thanks for watching great to hear you're still have your original items. Take care. Oscar

Hi, thanks Bruce, glad you enjoyed that. It's a lovely little set. Oscar

Hi, Royston glad you found that interesting. Thank you again for taking the time to watch. Oscar

Hi Paul, thanks again for watching, glad you found a video interesting. It's really nice to hear you have your original clipper still in use. All the best. Oscar

Hi Antony, sorry about that, got my A.m. & P.m. mixed up! two 7 o'clock's in the day! Glad you found the video interesting and enjoyed the wonderful set wit its classic group of items. All the best. Oscar

Hi John, sorry about the time mixed up. I seem had selected 7 pm instead of 7 am. It would be far simpler if KZfaq adopted 24 hour clock across its platform. It doesn't appear to be an option in the interface I'm using, all my devices operate on the 24 hour format, have not found an option to change it within KZfaq so far. All the best for the coming year. Oscar

Good morning Gordon, thank you again. Glad you enjoyed the video. I think it was definitely worth working on all of those fish plates. It's made this old track good fun to use, and very rewarding in the process. All the best. Oscar

Hi Mr Snooze, thanks again for looking in glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you enjoyed the chicken. Take care. Oscar

Good morning Eddy, got my AMS and PMS mixed up! Glad you enjoyed seeing the items from the set, classic group of items. The figures and the trolley I picked up from TCS back in November. I'm not sure of the exact date, possibly late 50s early 60s great to hear you have one of the Tractor & Trailers on your layout. Thanks again for watching the video, should be on time next Sunday! Oscar

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks again for taking the time to look in. Oscar

Thank you David. Glad you found that interesting. The set with the Jinty is a great group of items, Glad you enjoyed seeing them have run about the railway and the newly finished siding. Take care. Oscar

Happy New Year Jeffrey, thanks for watching. Oscar

Good morning Pauline, thank you again for looking, it's definitely time consuming but it's made a massive difference with the series 3. Take care. Oscar

Hi Martin, thank you again for watching, sorry about the time, I got my AM and PM mixed up! Great to hear you had one of those a great introduction to model Railways. I will have to get serious about finding the Dublo goodsshed in the coming months. I almost got one at the end of last summer, but it was being sold with replacement doors which really weren't very good and the price really did not compensate for that... Take care. Oscar

Thank you, David. Take care. Oscar

Good morning Graham, thank you for the information. All the best. Oscar

Hi Robin, thanks for looking in and the information, quite a long time without the Internet. How did we ever survived before it? I managed to upload this video at the wrong time I seem to have selected 7 pm instead of 7 am... I've been using a budget soldering iron recommended by my local electrical shop when my previous 30 watt iron gave up the ghost The temperature is variable and is capable of very high temperatures (clams to be 48 watt) which is great for warming up the steel Rail & fishplates for soldering, Iron can be turned down for switches and wire/cable had it about 18 months now. I'm currently using a solder by Cynel 60/40 resin core solder 0.7mm. New fish plates would be the way to go, but the only ones I found to fit these rails are a bit cost prohibitive when so many are needed... Glad you liked the contents of the set a classic group of items. All the best. Oscar

Buffer Stops don't fit very nicely on 1/8th rails. Oscar

@@oscarpaisley Sorry Oscar, I wasn't aware of that. Paul.

Hi Tim, thanks for watching and happy New Year. The panel you mention shows point direction indicators for some of the three rail track, eventually, when I get around to it, all of the points will have indicator lights. Here is a link which shows how I've got about it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9GeopuB0MmdfmQ.html hope that is of some help. Oscar

Hi, I was sure I had shown how are did this in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9t_iMybltaUoZc.htmlsi=oV1mp0RzH7-fHc5O&t=91 But I've just looked over it, and I haven't covered it. I will try and add it to a video soon. I've made these reproductions on a handful of occasions, but you need the original thing to start with, it's best to get them on the flatbed scanner and select only the area around the decal, it also works by photograph of them provided you can get it large enough in frame and close focus, but you can get quite a bit of distortion, especially on a mobile telephone. I've printed these out on an Epson printer on the photo setting, but I've only used cheap 80 GSM paper from the supermarket. It's best to do a handful ganged up on the sheet, quite close together. They were quite nicely, just cut out with a very sharp blade, the one on the Jinty, I sprayed with a very basic extra hold hairspray from the discount store. I quite like this because it encourages the ink from the printer to spread a little into the paper, making it look a little more original transfer.. Great at arm's-length running on the railway but up close under magnifying glass. They look like paper cut out.. Many of the commercially available reproductions are vey good but usually are the wrong size, and the camp appear to sharp. The originals really are quite crude, looked at closely. Hope that's of some help. Oscar

Thanks. It sounds quite a tricky process! I appreciate you taking the time to provide such a detailed reply.@@oscarpaisley

Hi, almost all of the fish plates are soldered to their respective rails with very few exceptions. I did some sections when I was first putting it down and decided to keep going with it. It was time consuming, it's not perfect but it's made a massive difference to the running. All the best. Oscar

I had to Series 3 and Super 4 as a child before acquiring steel system 6. It has all been passed on to me and my brother from another family member in the mid-70s. I had always intended to build one of the trade layouts depicted in various pictures and diagrams by Tri-ang Railways in the 50s and early 60s it should have gone on the board when the Super 4 came down, I had collected enough of it to make this one (T.R.L.4/59) at the bottom of this tri-ang.weebly.com/1959-canadian-standard-display-layouts.html the board was such a poor condition. It was replaced by the board that goes around the room. Needless to say it needed a little bit more track than I already had.. I do like the look of it and remember been thrilled with it as a child, it's been great deal of fun and very rewarding developing the current railway. The steel System 6 can be very cost-effective but the original steel point work is the weak point. I think it's all good fun whatever you decide to go with, for me it makes sense to go with the earlier track types as the majority of my collection is much more at home on it. The standard track is lovely, looking stuff, I've never been able to get hold of enough of the later polystyrene base Standard Track to do anything sensible with. Maybe one day... Thanks for taking the time to watch. Oscar

Thank you for your reply, like you a have a collectionof old playworn Triang locomotives and rolling stock and due to a lack of space I'm in the process of building a small portable layout with Series 3 just so I can run these trains. I get as much enjoyment watching and operating these old clunkers as I do running my much more finescale DCC locomotives at the club layout.@@oscarpaisley

Hi jimyjames thanks again for watching. Great to hear you have those in your collection, the crash train set is a lovely group of items. All the best. Oscar
