Hi Bob,

Looks like you're ready to repair clocks....

Would being a Fellow of the British Horological Society might help do you think?

Take care.



Tony.

Full of surprises, you are.

Hi,

A few years ago a foreign visitor to the Cardiff Model Engineering Society donated about a dozen vintage tinplate 0 gauge model locomotives to the Society.  These models have been in a case in the club house since they arrived; it has not been possible to run them with their large flange wheels on the club's garden railway.  Recently the G45 track in the garden railway has been made dual gauge by adding a third rail to allow 0 gauge to be operated on it.  As the G45 uses code 250 rail rather than the code 200 rail used on the other 0 gauge tracks it now possible to run these vintage model locomotives.  As I am supposed to know a bit about clockwork I was ask to get one of the models to run.

I hope you enjoy.
