That's because it is a Screwfix product code. For CPC try D00391 or D02236.

Hopefully the leads were properly removed and not simply cut off so refitting them will be an easy job..........

:) Don't forget folks, a first for The East Lancashire Railway, a charter train "The High Speed Train" (HST) visits The East Lancashire Railway on Saturday 12-10-2013, the HST arrives at Bury Bolton Street Station at 13:20 hours, departs for Rawtenstall Station at 13:40, arrives Rawtensta...

:D That was a good reply, you don't fancy helping us out to test & prove the new wiring do you? Next Sunday you know were we are. Alan. I spend all week trying to keep them in a fit state to run as it is, weekends are my time off from coaches. Should he bring his own loco to help with the test?...

After lunch it was back to the Santa carriage to finish off the cleaning and wiring of the control units, it appears that this carriage had been causing problems with the ETH for some time according to Lee Kenny and Simon. John found out after some testing, that it appears that three out of the fou...

We then had a phone call from our leader M.V. to check out the blue and white brake coach attached to the Howson bar car, apparently the internal lights were not working, we checked the lights on the brake first with the guard and they were working OK then the lights on the Howson car were checked ...

David - Its nothing to do with red rags, and everything to do with the stance portrayed by the ELR - which is all to often grumpy, unhelpful and confrontational. I have repeatedly seen that for myself directed at both working members and paying visitors alike - and I wish that sometimes people woul...

Agree with the Daves and Andy on this. The section for Mainline Workings has the subtext "Details of ELR related charters, tours etc. using both steam and diesel loco's. Also incorporating update snippets on Ian Riley's work in progress." The Cotton Mill doesn't operate on the ELR, by the ...
