Time for a bit of admin answering questions posed in the comments on recent posts.
Paul B asks on the post "A Hen's Tooth": I now have one, with the plastic spike and the original box. Works as well. Now, I have a request which I hope you won't mind as I know you're a bit of a fan of these (pun intended!), can you please post some photos of the inside of the body, of the plastic spacer that sits across the middle of the chassis, and of the body fixing screw? Mine has neither screw nor spacer, and I'd like to see what should be there so that I can fabricate new parts if possible.

Hopefully, this will help (click on the image for a bigger picture). The bar is a simple plastic item that fits in the recesses in the chassis. The bolt is a long bolt. Something with the thread running all the way up would be just as good.
Hum asks on the post "E-R Models Monorail": Just out of curiosity, what's the space between the conductor "rails" on that track?

I think this should answer the question.
Hope this helps everyone. Don't forget you can always use the Ask Phil link on the top right of this page.
