There was not the terrific thump on the porch, like on Tuesday, when over 2.5Kg of books were delivered.

IR (United Kingdom): Hello John, Thank you very much for sending me all the Hornby Dublo spares I ordered on 27th January, processed and then paid for by me and despatched by you yesterday 3rd February. The spares arrived safely via Royal Mail special delivery at 0900 hours to-day - marvellous! So just 5 days from order to receiving the goods, brilliant. The other goods news is that my (1954) Hornby Dublo 3 rail N2 tank loco 0-6-2 and my (1956) Duchess of Montrose 4-6-2 are up and running, after many years of idleness in a siding (AKA a box!). Fortunately I remembered from my tender years, how to set the motors up and adjusted the securing screw for the armatures correctly after a few attempts to get them working efficiently! I am really 'chuffed' with the result and so will my grandchildren be. I haven't had terminal nuts on the power 'in rail' since I was about 10 years old - luxury! The next job is to convert some rolling stock, I have to Hornby couplings with the spares you provided. Please be assured I will be ordering more spares from you in due course - some rail repairs are necessary , so new fish plates and so it goes on! My railway operates without government subsidy, so it is a question of obtaining approval from my wife. You provide a really excellent personal service @ 'Mainly Trains' and it has been a pleasure from start to finish doing business with you. Best regards

JB (United Kingdom): John, Parts arrived today, Many thanks,

AS (United Kingdom): Hi John, The armature works brilliantly and the trains now back to full working order after nearly 15 years :) with a little help as well from a new magnet. I am also after a new armature for a hornby dublo bo-bo 3 rail have you got one and how much? Cheers

PF (United Kingdom): Hello John. Thanks very much for the spares which arrived yesterday. Have passed your details on to other friends who may also need some bits & pieces. Cheers,

TR (United Kingdom): Many thanks for the parts received on Friday. I now have my own 3-rail Dorchester all for less than a hundred pounds. Also the Wrenn wheels are a whole lot better than the plastic ones on the "genuine article" Great service as usual.

RK (United Kingdom): Success! The coupling is on - slightly looser than the one on the other end, but we tested it with a 2-rail and a 3-rail truck, and it hooked up without any problems. My smallest nail punch didn't do the trick at first, so I tried a 2" nail with a sharp point, and it started to open the rivet, after which the nail punch did the rest. Should the wagon tend to uncouple on points, for example, we can always give the rivet another couple of taps, but for the moment it's back in its box awaiting developments. My next modelling task will be to attach Tenshodo motor bogies to the bases of two Keil Kraft trams and then assemble them. That may be left for the long winter nights. First priority is to insulate and decorate the room and then build the table. Many thanks once again for taking me through the procedure so clearly and patiently and, as we say up here, lang may your lum reek. All the best

SL (New Zealand){ Hi John I don't know what you have done to the postal service because the parcel is here already !!! Two more things you may be able to help me with. All the buffer stops in NZ have disappeared and I need another 4 to complete this layout. Secondly I will delay the GWR conversion till last. If you should come across a body then it would be the real thing and that will save me converting a standard domed body so if you wouldn't mind keeping an eye out it would be appreciated I realise this is probably going to cost more than a standard body but I have seen one on E**y recently. Thanks again for a fantastic service Regards

DS (USA): Hello, John! I wanted to let you know that the motor arrived late last week, and I installed it this week on Monday. The engine now runs! Wooo Hoooo! I do have one question for you. As I've mentioned before, my model train experience has been limited to live steam engines in scales running on 45mm track. I have good success tuning them up. However, tuning up an HO electric engine is not something I've previously attempted. After installing the new motor, I see that at slow speeds the engine runs easily through about 1/2 of a driver revolution, and then not well through the second 1/2. So, it kind of lurches along at slow speeds. Before assembling it, I carefully cleaned all gombu that I could see/reach, and used small amounts of a good modeling lubrication oil. I've also checked all of the external "for show" drive gear rods, etc., and don't see anything binding. I know that the motor you send was a good runner, so I am not thinking it is the problem. Perhaps there's something I can do/check on the drive screw? If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them! Many thanks, again, for providing such a wonderful service to this hobby! Steve (the owner of this locomotive) is *very* happy that it's running again! Cheerio,

DS (United Kingdom): Hi John, Arrived safely today, many thanks. I’m sure that you will be hearing from me again! Regards

GG (United Kingdom): Thanks for everything John, the items arrived this morning (Tuesday) and I'm very pleased. Kindest regards

TG (United Kingdom): Hello John, I just wanted to say thank you for the excellent quality of the rewinds on the two armatures, they look new. I have not had a chance to fit them yet, but I am sure they will breathe new life into an old loco. Best wishes

SL (New Zealand): Don’t know how you do it John!!!! Parcel arrived today. Many thanks

WC (United Kingdom): Hello John, Thanks for e-mail and all your help. I will keep your contact for any more wants in future but getting a Bristol Castle is really a bit of nostalgia for me. When I had my layout as a boy I always wanted one but could never afford it. Regards
