  1. feel free to laugh but i just wrecked two points by trying to cut off a point rod only to have the dremmel go through the rod and mangle the point blade

  2. I paid a visit to Digitrains as suggested and i chose to go with the Power kab which i have no ordered along with the necessary Decoders the wood for the base boards are on order as well i again want to thank everyone for their advice and input the response has been overwhelming im used to posting questions on forums and either being ignored or told to leave the pros alone Hopfully my next topic will be the start of my layout even if its a simple loop Andrew
  3. So today i paid a visit to a hobby shop in Nottingham who had a few DCC systems i have a go with the Hornby basic DCC controller, the Bachmann dynamis and the Lenzs 100 controllers and while no definite answer was formed in my mind it has given me a better understanding of the feeling of DCC on a side note when did wagons and coaches get so expensive 46 for a single modern image wagon WTH Andrew
  4. thank you all for your comments my doubts about getting back into the hobby have been quashed i am looking forward to getting my trains running again but wont rush things Andrew
  5. The space i have for the layout is a 19 by 12 shed thats been insulated and weather proofed and has light heat an electric professionally installed (wasn't cheap either) i intend to run diesels and electrics but haven't nailed down the period yet the scale will be 00 N guage caught my eye but the and id be able to fit more in the space i have but i do like the 00 scale a bit more to be honest id dint think you could fit DCC into N gauge i will be running just DCC sound is fun but if i plan to try recording some videos and putting the real sounds over the top as ive seen that done quite well on a few youtube channels The sort of layout i have in mind is a Depot at one end and a station at the other as i live in the Nottingham area id like to do something based on Nottingham station Andrew
  6. After reading up on some of the available brands im considering the power cab myself and ive seen a few videos where people show that cheaper decoders dont give as good a control over the trains
  7. thank you all for the comments i now have some reading to do
  8. Hello, As the title suggest i need some advice about which DCC system to go for The last time i had a layout DCC was still new and i was using the old analogue system, i've searched on youtube for reviews for the different systems but come away with more questions than answers im not put off by brands if enough people recommend it or tell em to avoid it ill follow the advice I guess the only thing i am restricted by is money but having seen how much some of the systems cost ill spend whatever i have to if the product im buying is reliable Thanks in advance
