    Any long term problems with tea being liberally spilled(flooded) across fiddle yard tracks? Asking for a friend.

      Was there any sugar in the tea?  Will make the task much trickier if there was.

      Cheers for the comments chaps, not too concerned as was plain track fiddle for a shunting plank. Good point re the sugar tho, glad I gave it up now! Could of have been worse, a rather fine tank car and a controller were either side of ground zero. A scenario many of us has experienced I suspect:D

      Certainly there's some lovely 1930s GWR featured on RMWeb, eg http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/120848-little-muddle/

  16. slow8dirty

    mm, new Arriva 150/2, doesn't look quite right on my S&D BLT, what to do? Maybe an answer will come to me while I take these old boards to the tip!

    No matter how well I design my boards/wiring, I still end up upside down cursing at point motors!

    1. RJS1977

      RJS1977

      Next time - build the layout upside down with the track on the bottom and the point motors on the top!

    "DCC requires just two wires to the track", so why have I got nearly 70 odd of the little darlings waving at me from under the boards?!

      You are either doing it very wrong or you are doing it very right!

      I'm a DC guy who likes the idea of DCC but every article I read seems to suggest more droppers (s8ds 'little darlings') are an imperative or new gadgetry is necessary. Maybe I don't fully understand what is required with DCC?

    4. slow8dirty

      slow8dirty

      Cos I counted em Terry ;-P

      Steve, to be honest the number of droppers is just a natural evolution of belt and braces, I actually changed to DCC halfway thru tracklaying and have saved on isolating sections and switches etc. Good DCC wiring is good practice for DC, Trust me if a clanky articifer can understand anyone can :)
