GWR-Kris

Hi All, Just to say thank you for all the advice. I managed to fit a simple loop in the space that I had with one siding. Had to make some compromises however i'm happy with the outcome. I doubt I will be able to top and tail autocoaches due to buffer lock if a wagon is pushed but not the end of the world. Have a good christmas.

Thank you @MarshLane some sound advice. Yes in my ideal world i would love to have an A4 and full rake of coaches but that will certainly not happen with the space I have For now im not after anything fancy just something to run a loco and rolling stock, maybe a siding or two. I would add scenery at some point however I just want to get something up any running however i wanted to ensure that i could get something to fit and work in the space provided before i make the investment in the track. Thank you all I think I have the answers I need to start building something. I really appricate everyones advise.

Hi both, thank you for that. It seems to me there is mixed opinions on this topic and so many variables that can effect if it will work or not. Is it best to go for flexi track or the set track? From what i read Set track seems to have more room for play, where flexi has tighter tolerances. Can you get Peco R1 curves?

I think there is a big difference between what I would like to run and what I can run this is why im asking here before I start purchasing track and locos. My plan was to only Run things like panniers from Dapol their 57xx and 14xx. I would like a Heljan 2-6-2t tank but I think that may be pushing things. Based on earlier comments I think I will limit myself to open wagons, all locos and wagons will be GWR, Im not looking to build from kits as I dont have the time currently. I hope this helps.

I decided to draw up what space I have available and a basic loop using peco set track. Is there any other options for set track that would be suitable for uk o gauge? Im thinking i may have to use R1 corners if it wish to get a loop in to fit the space.

Hi All Thank you for the advice and links. Yeah I realise space is tight for what i want this is why i bow down to your superior knowledge, think I may stick to a single line, I was just after something simple nothing fancy or too complicated. Just to run a couple of locos max. Most of my stock will be dapols RTR panniers and wagons. I may for go the mk1 and autocoaches if they will not work on a R2

Im new to O Gauge but currently have an OO Gauge and N Gauge Layouts I have a 7' x 11' room with a shelf approx 1' wide all the way round im hoping to use as my O gauge layout, I was thinking of a dual track most likely R2 outer, and R1 inner circuit with one siding. Im only going to be running panniers maybe some MK1 stock or autocoaches on Peco SL-700BH. My questions are as follows Is there any templates for getting the corners correct what gap should I have between the lines Any other tips and advice? Thank you all

Cheers @34theletterbetweenB&D and @Dagworth found the three on the motor housing and now removed everything running smoothly.

Cheers for the feedback. There are no capacitors directly on the Motor however from the below pic the top loco there is one cap. Could this be causing my issues?

I have 2 Bachmann Deltics with the 8Pin type socket. One was DC other was fitted with a Hornby 8Pin chip. Now I purchased a Gaugemaster DCC92 chip for the other loco. I fitted it with the factory setting to start with however it does not run correclty. It like surges or on occasion does not even stop when it should. I swaped the chips around on my two deltlics and the problem moved to the other. Next i tried the DCC92 in a different loco and works fine. So there must be something that with the combination of chip with the deltic causes problems. Any advice.
