[modeleng] Re: Track circuiting & Loctite

Ron,

I have run at Gilling many times. The track is extensively track circuited 
and my ground level engine has all its wheels held in place with Loctite. I 
have never had a problem even when running light engine. Furthermore I have 
never heard of any other engine or rolling stock having a problem and there 
are usually about 30 engines and a hell of a lot of rolling stock running 
there at their "Mainline Weekends"

Regards,


Barrie
