Finally gettiing out of my system.

It certainly seems an ideal alternative to Kadees which, whilst I do like them, aren't particularly unforgiving, especially if you get the height slightly off. They can also be quite awkward to fit to older stock.
Terry, a neat way of providing a cheap auto uncoupler & I guess it could be made into a delayed method as well like Dingham & Spratt & Winkle.

Something like this, but I'm not sure where on his rather large thread it can be found!

At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

It looks a very simple but effective method of auto uncoupling without all that "ramp" business!!

A lovely wagon. Imagine my pleasure and delight (not) when I turned it around to reveal this…

In the meantime, here is the Terrier shunting the yard. I note that some wag has sent the Queen Mary down with the pick-up goods…

Did you tell the distant station master off for doing that ??? :)

Sometime last year I purchased online this Bachmann wagon. I don't even remember from whom I bought it. It is an old model but arrived in the unopened packaging. It has been sitting on my workbench and was opened for the first time last night.
A lovely wagon. Imagine my pleasure and delight (not) when I turned it around to reveal this…YES, IT'S A FRIDAY AFTERNOON WAGON! Does that work the same way in China I wonder? Despite being well and truly shafted I fortunately have the HMRS wagon transfers to hand to remedy the problem, although it's a job I didn't really need.

It has been known for certain layouts to have stock with decals on just one side if the other is never visible!
