Hello, You may find joining MERG a really helpful source of information for virtually anything you could possibly want to know about electrics for model railways. The information available goes from basic stuff for beginners through to state of the art stuff with help available from members too. The skills and knowledge available via their web site and members is without doubt the best available for making informed and cost effective decisions about this part of railway modelling. trustytrev. -
Solvent, chairs and ply timbers (code 75) help!
trustytrev replied to Moley48's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
Hello, I think Martin of Templot mentioned what he used for resin printed chairs on the Templot site. trustytrev. -
Hello, I thought it was something I had done that had turned Railway modelling on ebay from a pleasure to a pain. Finding this uncovers they have made it a pile of **** themselves. What is it about current times that working things are totally wrecked in virtually any sphere of life. trustytrev.

What do you do with your old magazines?

Hello Derek, Have you considered getting one of those spinning computer chairs. You can adjust the height and they are really mobile when you want to move about. They take all the weight off your joints and are quite manoeuvrable once you get the hang of it. They come up on freegle quite frequently so you could get one at the cost of a car trip at your local group. trustytrev.

Relative merits of different track component brands
trustytrev replied to Clearwater's topic in Handbuilt Track & Templot
Hello. It's me again. I have kept quiet for a while but am somewhat confused. Contentious behaviour apparently warrants me receiving a warning . However others seem to engage in such behaviour without let or hindrance on a continuous basis without redress. I think it seems a clear case of discrimination against me. Dear moderators please get your act together. trustytrev. -

trustytrev replied to Clearwater's topic in Handbuilt Track & Templot
Hello, I have received a warning for Contentious behaviour by a moderator of RMWeb. I assume it was my previous post on this thread which now appears to have been removed. I wish to state it was never my intention to behave in a contentious manner and offer my unreserved apologies to any one whom I may have offended or upset. trustytrev. -
What makes something valuable/rare.
trustytrev replied to cypherman's topic in Modelling musings & miscellany
Hello, I have a Baltic tank front bogey without cow catcher. Is it worth a lot? It could be used at the rear as well but would not be genuine for that purpose. So it is definitely a front one. trustytrev. -

Eastwood Town - A tribute to Gordon's modelling.
trustytrev replied to gordon s's topic in Layout topics
Hello, I think it is all getting rather too complex. Surely a green led illuminating whichever way the turnout is set will show which routes are possible. Just follow the green led's along the route will show the way. If it is not illuminated green it is not accessible. One would just need an on-off-on switch operated by the tie bar to illuminate the relevant led. Turnouts are usually set one way or the other depending on the route chosen. trustytrv. -
Hello, Powdered pencil lead and superglue could be used to reconstruct the track of the variable resistor. Fiddly to do but possible. trustytrev.

Eastwood Town - A tribute to Gordon's modelling.
trustytrev replied to gordon s's topic in Layout topics
Hello Gordon, I think most big stations had more than one signal box each with it's own section of the overall plan. Maybe you are trying to replicate the same thing but failing to consider this. After all you are trying to replicate a system that existed in such times and trying to get it to fit with modern technology? I am sure the use of multiple boxes and section plans would have been avoided if technology at the time had permitted. Regards. trustytrev.
