NOPE you are wrong
the transfers on River Deben my millie are lovely still after two years. It is only due to a livery change that I am taking them off.

Why did my Edrig backsheet come off in a light drizzle then?

I just need a name, which is bugging me, as several of my locos need names as well

I've named all mine after local rivers (much to Andy's annoyance!!)

May I suggest for the name: 'Dolwyddelan'? Or 'Dolwyddelan castle'?

And your coupling method for the Mamod stock... May I suggest removing the chopper hook on Edrig's buffers, and if you remove the actual buffer part out, you can remove the spring behind so it does not lock with other couplings when going around corners.

I did this to my Mamod coaches when I had them, so I could use them easier with my other 16mm stock, using the 3 link chain coupling.

Thats a good name, I might name one of my OO gauge 08 shunters that!, or the Edrig!

I might have a go at the mhlr with the couplings, I'll just nick another link off one of the locos

I'm not quite sure what you mean there?

Ah right, I have changed the way I couple the rolling stock and edrig together

as a temporary measure I have got both of the single chain links and attached them both together and when I do couple up, I'll put one ring over the edrig chain bit, and the second ring (which is attached to the first) over the mamod hook part but that is a bit of a tight coupling between the rolling stock, so I may have a bit more slack

That's if you get any of what I just said there!
