    I like DCC sound but only for diesels and electrics.

      A decent speaker and a decent chip really.

      With steam, the sounds are too organic to reproduce convincingly. Fortunately, I’ve listened to Peter Handford recordings all my life so I can just imagine the sound. :-)

      Nah !! you just need the right decoder and speaker. Steam sound gets better and better. :-)

      Superb project, Rosspop! That gland needs to be repacked, though.

    Only another week or so and you’ll notice the days starting to stretch out that wee bit again. Which is nice...

      I think Gibson crankpins were the last straw. ;-)

      Welcome to the fold Dave.

      Our numbers were dwindling so it good to have a defector from the broad gauge room.

    Been waiting 38 years for this one... :-)

      Also pre ordered one but we have no plans to offload the club J36s as they look superb and run beautifully..be surprised if the rtr model looks better than our Maude.

      Might be some extra shifts getting done, Paul. Unless you know anybody needing extraordinarily good weathering done! ;-)

    Right, seeing as it's the solstice I'm going to get the garden incinerator going and run round it naked with holly on my head!

      There must be a joke in there somewhere about getting pricked by Holly

    Was going to do a bit of modelling but sitting in a candle lit conservatory listening to the rain on the roof makes Hygge a more appealing thing tonight. :-)

      It's a Scandinavian conspiracy. If you're brought up with Lego, Ikea instructions are easy.

  15. Mad McCann

    Hmm. Water pistols it is then. Wonder if any after-market manufacturer will think about tackling a twin jib PW conversion for a Warwell? Another variation for a versatile vehicle.

    I do love the accidental comedy of a poorly tuned train horn...

      The hidden force has unlimited sources of energy, and Government scientists have finally established that it is this that is powering the Peco track debate arguments.

  18. Mad McCann

    I do believe that some modelling is actually about to occur here today!

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      Ditto. It depends on how broadly "modelling" is defined!

    2. Mad McCann

      Mad McCann

      Essentially, in this instance, throwing crap at O Gauge products. Some plastic shennanigans later.

    3. Mad McCann

      Mad McCann

      I'm still amazed at the output I once had.I guess I'll take a while to get up to speed again!

      She may have split up, she may have capsized, she may have broke deep and took water

  20. Mad McCann

    Just to embarrass Dave a bit more, I have to say his cast Oleos look great on my Class 20 and 26...

    1. vitalspark

      vitalspark

      He told me in confidence that they were actually for a brake van but didn't want to tell you that..if they look ok I suppose thats fine.

    2. davefrk

      Shhhh, don't tell Mad McCann that or he may spark yer vitals.

    With all this dodgy mazak about, building replacement chassis in EM doesn't seem that bad a shout these days.

      It is good for building chassis in OO as well. Just doing a rebuilt scot

    Don't like when people do unwarranted public hatchet jobs on decent traders in places like this.

      No offence, Lee, I just felt it was a bit harsh.

      No thread, I believe it was a status that was locked.

  24. Mad McCann

    I have attempted to ameliorate my disgust with the world today by replacing the buffers on a Class 20 and 26 with nice LMS cast ones. Small victories and that...

  25. Mad McCann

    Some lovely new models out there. Just a shame earnings haven't kept up with prices...
