Ha ha ..yes typical though fix one bit then another appear s ..so had to order some Peco flexi on line ....that glue is good ..i have done both plastic , glass , metal , and it does stick very quickly ...cheers Dave

Hi Paul ..yes you can say that again , I have now taken that Hornby track up as i got a problem just further down , i bit the bullet and bought some genuine Peco Flexi ..cost me £8 carriage though for 4 pieces , but least got the good track i should have had in the first place , anyway got that laid down now and a lot better ...video coming soon ..cheers Dave

Hi ian , well when i replaced the track it seemed to run smoothish , still need gluing down so probably be better then , i know what you mean though with the back to back , had smae problem on a 37 ....a new set of bogies and wheels cured it ..cheers Dave

Hi Jeff , yes always makes the hairs stand up the sound of Deltics ....cheers Dave

Hi Stuart , not surte if you get the same but after iether very hot weatehr ofr very cold i find i get these track problems , got that part done now got a problem just further on ...the shop were i bought that track is more or less just a toy shop dont think they knew anything about railways , but bad practice putting Peco label on the hornby track ...alwys said Hornby flexi was very poor standard , i should have inspected it more ...but needs must so used it ..cheers Dave

Hi Peter , still waiting for the new hip and she is really struggling now. , but life goes on , as for the track work .. it never ends .. got more problem further down the line now .. roll on summer and back out in the garden Cheers Dave

Hi David ..well i thought i had , but now more problems further down the line ...think i shall look forward to summer and doing more in the garden ,,,,Cheers Dave

Thank you Richard , now got more track probs , never ending .. cheers Dave

Thank you Stuart , got a bit more of a problem now , does it ever end ? … cheers Dave

Yep your right , one step forward two back.

@@StMaryChurchModelRailway ..Thats for sure Stuart ..

Yes though the chap had not a clue he did not know what flexi track ment. , but once bitten twice shy as they say , won’t be going there again … trouble is now got another problem further on … cheers Dave

@@howarth004 well I’d just see it might not develop into a problem yet! Rails of Sheffield is quite cheap for track

Thank you , well The stiggs waiting for a new hip and ive managed to catch a bit of cold , but no problem we keep going ..Cheers Dave

Thanks Nick , as for CB Models ..no not used them , but think most are pretty good these days ...cheers Dave

Thanks David, I like what CB Models have to offer. @@howarth004

Thank you Josh

Just occasionally had back to back problems , but most are track movement , only needs a fraction on a joint , which we get after very cold spells and hot ones , mainly my fault not leaving a gap on the joints … cheers Dave

I thought so but now more probs , the joys of model railways … cheers Dave

Hi Dave,Yes great joy .....Dave locomotive67,🙄👍👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂🚂@@howarth004

@@howarth004 Hi Dave,Think you will over come, annoying though , Dave locomotive67 🙂👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂

Too true lol … 🍺 found more now .. excuse for more Boddingtons … cheers Dave

Aa I said Rob ..this was just a toy shop ..they had not got a clue , probably bought these in a job lot , but my local railway shop has closed and I wanted to save on postage , should have taken them back , but i used them , now found got a problem further down the track , so lifted the lot , ordered some Peco on line , so hopefully will replace the lot next week ...£8 though carriage charges on 4 pieces of track ...,,Cheers Dave

@@howarth004 I hear ya. Everything I buy anymore is shipped to me. There is one model shop in the area to serve 4 million people. It is 30 minutes away, so an hour plus shopping time. I would rather just stay home and pay the postage.

Yes they are a good few closing down now , that was a big surprise with Hattons closing ....shows its a hobby that is too expensive now for a lot starting out , and i refuse to buy new anymore , a sound loco now you are talking £300 + for a decent one ...I do have enough though to keep me going ...

Hi Barry , think the problem was a fraction of track movement , did not leave a gap between the rail joints , or they had tightened up during the summer , after fitting the Hornby flexi (poor quality) i then got a problem on the next lot of joints , so now pulled up the whole of the curve (3pieces of track _ and have ordered on line some Peco track ..shall fit new cork underlay and hopefully will cure it all once and for all ....thats shop i bought the rail from was more or less just a toy shop think they buy odds and sods of all sorts , he did not have a clue what i meant when i asked if he had any Flexi track , I should have inspected more closely , but i saw the peco label on the track so thought it was genuine ....we live and learn ...costing me £8 for postage but least shall not be buying rubbish ...cheers Dave

I found the set track is OK but the flexi is very poor standard , the rails slide out of the sleepers too easily ..have you used flexi track and then compared the 2 ?..cheers dave

I would have done if could find some Peco track , but nees myust so had to use it , its very poor compared to Peco track ..cheers Dave

Been a busy boy , and had a few days away .. cheers Dave
