Hi Mick,
Very nice indeed. I used those mud hole covers from Malcolm Mitchell somd time ago (I think on my Scorpio large prairie), but then forgot about them until somebody mentioned them on here. I used them on the 3P but even fixing with epoxy as suggested I got one in the wrong position. I was prepared to trash it getting it off to replace with another, but just putting a sharp blade under the rear edge and applying a little force caused ig to ping off with no damage. It left a perfectly resin cast mud hole in place that was then scraped off. I don't know if that would work every time, but sometimes you get lucky.

Cheers,
Peter

Very nice, very convincing. Can we interest Sir in a Bulldog?

Cheers Peter,

The instructions that come with them suggest epoxy for securing but I soldered mine as I knew fine adjustment maybe needed and I’m just not confident enough to get the positioning absolutely bang on. Especially with the small strip to represent the hinge.

@SimonT Sounds interesting, why not

Hi,

Mick came down at the weekend to test Alton Hall on Heyside, and to his credit, it negotiated every part of the track first time, and for a relatively big loco, that is a rare occurrence.
