dubmill sidings

Dubmill sidings stood up well to the 180 mile bounce from Derby to Fareham and ran very well. A big thanks to the organisers for a great weekend - Thank you.

Just finishing some small jobs on Dubmill Sidings (the 0 gauge thingy) before packing it all away in the car and trailer for its 180 mile bounce down to Fareham tomorrow. We are all looking forward to this weekend.

We are taking Dubmill Sidings which at 43' x 4' could be classed as a large layout. It is nice to get the opportunity to take it somewhere, especially a guild show and play trains. Looking forward to the show at Doncaster. We are also doing another one day show at the end of October at Binfield.

I have a 40' long 0 gauge layout - Dubmill Sidings. I use the Gaugemaster Prodigy wireless system with a 5A power booster. Normally have 3 handsets in operation at any one time but have been known to use 4. The wireless operation is brilliant and provides just the flexibility we need when operating. Had one or two problems with handsets but Gaugemaster have sorted these quickly. Biggest problem was at the NEC a couple of years ago which we ultimately put down to interference from other NEC equipment. Decoders vary from TCS1, Gaugemaster DC0025, Lenz Gold and NCE DR408. Consisting is easy as is programming on the main. Very happy with it.

Try laying static grass on top of the green mat. I've done this and the green matting provides a good base colour.
