In answer to Simon's questions:
M/B = mint/boxed - I will be bringing some sealed 4.5v sets, for display
only.
I can also bring 7725 and 7745, but I need to replace the rubber bits of the
wheels on the 7725 - anybody any ideas on that?
The fiddle yard (as 'real' railway enthusiasts call it) will basically be a
bunch of sidings (probably 8) with sufficient points to merge down to one
12v track. I don't quite envisage how you want to join the 12v yard to 9v,
but we can probably work something out on the day.
Phil.

| (...) Interesting. (...) Buy some more? I'll be buying some old train stuff from a source of mine - not sure how well they would have lasted. Do a search in lugnet.trains on replacement 12V tyres I'm sure this has come up before. (...) Agreed. (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
