Thanks, so not exactly to NEM standards then?

Anyone tried to fit Kadee’s to these? It’s supposed to be an NEM pocket but can’t see how I can swap the tension lock for a Kadee.

Thanks, I thought that would be the case.

Got my Network Rail version 08 and I've just realised it has the radiator ladders fitted. I thought these were all removed years ago to prevent possible accidents with the overhead power. Did Network Rail re-introduce the ladders or is it just wrong?

So £20 for a cheap speaker?

Slightly worried as I'd love one of these but my shunting yard is C&L bullhead track.

I'm building a layout that has a crossover for a loco release. My question is would both switches (or points) be operated by one lever in the box or ground frame, or two? I ask as I'm controlling the by DCC and I can either give the motors the same address, or separate addresses and set up a macro to change them one at a time, but want it to be as prototypical as possible.

I guess this is more to do with providing a stop for modern units with the middle part buffering to the coupling, as the new stock doesn't have traditional buffers.

This may be a silly question but I've just bought the Bachmann 117 3 car DMU which now needs to be run in. As my layout is end to end I use a rolling road for running in but obviously this can't hold a 3 car DMU. Can the power cars be run in individually or does this mess anything up? After spending £300 I don't want to do anything to ruin it!

Thanks, not quite enough room for the side mounted motors. Thanks for the article, look like I'll be looking for a different solution.

Has anyone got any experience with the Peco Smart Switch? I'm looking for a point motor that I can surface mount but doesn't take up much room for an N gauge fiddle yard. Need to mount the motors at 90 degrees to the track so thought servos might give me more flexibility.

Me too. A great layout. Whole exhibition was good too.

Looks an interesting concept. Looking forward to seeing more.

Cleaned the wheels and lubed the gears and it's running sweet as a nut. The motor is is good condition but one of the brushes is very worn and I'll need to find a replacement soon.
