Well just when thought you had things planned out they go a bit goverment policy shaped...

Never mind.... There hasn't been much modelling going on, but this weekend I have made a few tentative steps back to actually building the layout! The train table is accessible again, all the junk covering it has been tidied and the space underneath tidied.

I bought one of the new Liliput O&K loco's on Saturday, with a Gaugemaster decoder. As soon as it hit the track, I had a sense of déja vu, just like D11 before it, it would start fine and then ignore every command until it lost power (however briefly). When I bought D11, years ago now, I found the same with a Digitrax decoder...

Returning to the shop, I got a Bachmann decoder which works fine, the other loco (D11) sports a Lenz silver mini, which also works.... Very strange!

You can see the new loco here under test:

Goodnight!
