This is from Roads and Rails...from their DCC sound installation I thought I was finished but all the lights came on together, I like them to be directional so that I can easily see which way the model is gonna move, so I looked at the PCB and noticed that there was a green wire bridging two components, which looked like a bit of an after thought, so i took it off, and it made the lights directional, but backwards! So I have reversed the light outputs in the function mapping and it works now, any decoders you buy from us will already have this change made. Chris

Paul Here you go: https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/lx032-oo-laser-cut-lner-sectional-concrete-hut-pack-of-2-oo4mm176-497-p.asp IIRC colour scheme was based on a building at Llandudno Junction. Chris

Another exhibition - 16 November 2024. -South Hants MRC Portsmouth Exhibition.

I agree with you. A second powercab using a 4 wire connector in the righ hand socket is infinitely better.

I think the Cab 06 has to act a secondary throttle to a Powercab or Procab. Chris

Well..we turned up and Cropper street was adequate....some fots here....a lot of Cropper Street plus other stuff. The exhibition guide was a little enigmatic but I will try to caption later...click on the bus for fots...

My take on the couplers from the pictures is that they are not the usual NEM pocket and won't take Kadee plug-ins (17-20 range). Is that the case? I do appreciate its a tight spot but would like confirmation. ( I think the 6w brake was similar IIRC) Thanks Chris

Hopefully 7120 is on is way....

Karl Crowther did an excellent article in MRJ 230 - I'll dig mine out and see what he did if you can't access one. Chris

You can't go wrong with a few vee-tanks...please ignore the inappropriate motive power...I can't leave my fellow operators alone for two seconds...

A basic upgrade to NEM coupler pockets would also seem overdue....

Me too...all very easy.. Chris H

Which edition was that in? - sadly I have them all....Thanks

I know of at least one modelling friend who has had very good service from Contikits - he even drove a considerable distance to trade with them ......but he did have a life time stash to shift...

I always advise people to test before weathering but obviously failed to take my own advice...you live and learn This didn't go well..... it looked great before I weathered it.

I do use them and I obviously can't disagree with what is on the website but it is easily damaged (especially on Brickwork as I said - weathering needs to be gently done) and the footbridge kit I have on my work bench is a very flexible material. Chris

I think they are a strong card rather than mdf? You need care at the edges particularly on brickwork.

These are HO US but worth a look given your prototype windows. How big is your building - I have few spares you could have a look at.

A bit of work on a trial build of an Lanarkshire GWR buffer stop..

well - for a second time - I like the Digitrains Zimos...thank you Andy....I have a plan...

well - I like the Digitrains Zimos...thank you.. Chris H

It depends where you are. Here in the South West I find Ray Heard is open and honest about how he buys s/h stock and prices sales. May not get as much as Ebay but a lot easier. He goes to a lot of ( and sponsors a number of ) shows but does not really do the internet... Chris H

Please do....I just need to decide if an 08 sound project will pass muster for an 11 - does anyone know if the prime movers are the same..? ChrisH

Ditto 7120 - LMS pre-war black - also reported as dispatched.... Chris H
