  3. Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any of the following Bemo Post issues - 3 21 27 28 I have managed to fill the other gaps in my collection but am unable to find these editions so far, Would any of you have an odd copy tucked away somewhere that you would be willing to part with? Many thanks, Andrew
  4. Hi, I recently purchased a number of items second hand. All three of them appear to be from the same manufacturer due to the labelling & packaging being similar. The items I can identify are from SOPA, but very old, around 30 years according to the current SOPA company - http://www.mbapiro.ch All three of the items have part numbers on which appear to translate to a modern day part code - Three buffer stops - has the number 8306 stamped on the back, whilst the current description is - Art. Nr. 830 600 Prellbock Beton (H0m). Also has the manufacturer on the back - SOPA R.Solca und U.Panzini Postfach 79 CH-4105 Biel-Benken A cast resin tunnel portal 8391, current description - Art. Nr. 839 108 Albula - Tunnel, Nordportal, mit Vordach und Toren Bausatz I have a second tunnel portal with the number 8375, however, I cannot find anything similar in the new product range. My guess is that at some time in the past the product numbering has been changed - would anyone have any ideas as to which tunnel portal this model is based on? The white label is my own catalogue number - nothing to do with the manufacturer!
  5. My pre-order of the newly released Bemo 1388 101 - RhB Gmf 287 01 Diesel - D1 arrived the other day. Whilst I don't anything permanent to run it on I tested it on the rolling road to see how it ran and what the Loksound decoder sounded like. I wasn't disappointed - I've placed a couple of videos on Youtube - links below...

  7. Saw one of the new driving coaches out on trial - full of RhB engineers and laptops...
  8. Hi Kevin, There was always a saying that there is a prototype for everything. There is even a prototype for using a solid rail for the catenary instead of overhead wires - On the new tunnel into Samedan from St.Moritz. It's also used in the first tunnel below Bergün. The RhB appear to be installing it in the new tunnels and when they complete refurbishment of existing ones. I've uploaded some catenary photos to the site if they are of use to you. Andrew
  9. We rode in the new stock when we were staying at Filisur at the end of August. The 'Photo Compartment' is a great place to sit, especially if you are on a train heading away from St Moritz as you will be at the end of the train with a glass door facing up the track - a great place to get some different photos. We also saw the new driving trailers. Initially in the yard at Landquart, however, at the end of the week, one of them was out on a test train, full of RhB engineering staff with their laptops hooked up to various sensors within the train.
  10. Just spotted one of the new Albula sets at Filisur today - https://goo.gl/OLXu0o - More info on the RhB website - https://goo.gl/UiZcXa A.

  12. Again another possible variation for you - Rocker Switches - Good Rotary Pots - Good Hinged Cover - Good - Possibly clear or dark, semi translucent? Output Sockets - On the top or bottom - makes it easier to surface mount the unit? Have you though about using a Arduino NANO? You can get a version with a USB interface for around 99p if you order from overseas. Makes it easier for people to program? Good luck with the project. Andrew
  13. The following video shows a rather nice Feldbahn layout - https://youtu.be/demHuzZG_pU, there is some more information here http://www.stummiforum.de/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=120830&p=1340246#p1340246 about how the locos were converted to DCC etc (it's in German but Google translate can help :-) ). I recently purchased some 'real' Feldbahn Flexi-track, made by Technomodell http://www.pmt-modelle.de/2011/seiten/56603.html ,not the cheapest but it does look very good. It doesn't have the metal strip built in but the shop owner I was speaking to also suggested the Faller Car System Guide Wire method. He was aware of people using it successfully. Something else I had thought about was purchasing a strip of the rubber magnet - plenty of choices on eBay. The only downside to this is that the trackbed would then become magnetic and this could cause issues if you get any metal filings near it...
