With insulated track joiners there is a chance that the rear wheels could bridge the gap. The danger then is that the whole layout could end up as the programme track with every loco on the same address.

After a couple of days faffing about with my coal tower ladder I thought I’d Better get back to the tender project. The paint and varnish are thoroughly dry so I started to work out the positioning of the lettering. But, we’ve hit a snag. I think there’s a problem with the transfers. All the referen...
