Great news Tim. If it has a chip bring it along to Camrail in a couple of weeks http://titfield.co.uk/Camrail/Camindex.htm if not then Highbury is at Stormex in August http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/55432-stormex-model-railway-exhibition-saturday-4th-august-2012-cheltenham/

Or of course the RMWeb members meet this saturday

Does it look like there is room for a chip inside the loco? I was thinking of using DC for 2mm but most reports seem to indicate better running with DCC.

Oh yes, there is a surprising amount of room. Just have a look at some of the smaller locos, a pannier is positively roomy. I saw a chip inside an 04 diesel, now that was small.

 

A challenge before Camrail!

Appolgies if this has been discussed elsewhere but why the change of scale? Is the pannier just a little folly or are there greater layout ambitions?!

Looking to the future, my current layout Clutton is getting nearly 30 years old. So where next? It's a big layout, so something smaller. BLTs don't do anything for me. So to get more in, means going down a scale. Thing is, can I build in 2mm? This project is about seeing what I can do and can I make it work for me.

 

It's amazing what can be left out.
