Power districts are mostly used to Stop a short in one area from stopping trains in another. For example, on a terminus to fiddeyard layot there might be locos with lights on or diesels ticking over or steam locos making appropriate sounds in the terminus and someone causes a short in the fiddle yard. The fiddle yard are will cut out but the terminus stuff will continue to 'run'. So double track gaps and each area fed through a District Cutout. The cutouts are fed from the same bus. If you're not worried about a short shutting down the whole layot then don't bother with them.

Put decoder in another loco. Dave.

Crimping pliers on eBay about £9. P.ugs very cheap. Dave

I was told by Phil Parker to 'stop banging on about this problem'. And here we are weeks after the event where the organisers seem to have done nothing about informing exhibitors about the problem and I'm sure many have paid up. Dave.

Very helpful but what are they and where do you get them please ?

A very few of you will have seen posts regarding this H0 layout in the 'Exhibition' section but little else has appeared here. Built and owned by our Club Member, Graham Broad, in 2019 it won the Continental Modeller mag Best Layout at the Warley show. I thought it was about time to post a few pics. Dave.

The AS Class 37 was my first ever Factory sound fitted loco. In the past I have always fitted my own using Legoman chips (34 now) and I've learnt my lesson the hard way. 😭 Back to Legoman as I need a re-blow or two soon to keep up with developments. Dave.

Very kind of you to offer Charlie and much appreciated. Unable to take up the offer though, as I just couldn't stand the set up, it was so bad. It's now with a new loving owner and I made £10. Thanks once again Charlie. Dave Smith

I spray my ballast with a water/ipa mixture to break the surface tension. I would say, Dawn, that you probably had enough washing up liquid in the PVA to take care of the surface tension. Dave.

I have literally, just now, tried it. It fits with a tiny bit removed from the Lima body at the very bottom of two front coners. You will need to find if the Dapol cabs fit though as I'm not in a position to try them. The Lima boy sits on the Dapol buffer beams just like the Dapol body. Dave.

I wanted a refund for my 37 because reducing the volume to allow the loco to run was not satisfactory in my eyes. However, they would not accept that I could have a refund so it went back to them. Two weeks later and its back and cured. However, the quality of sound is not upto scratch. I'm beginning to think this is a sound file by ESU. Good sound on start up and pulling away. Tickover is barely audible thought. Its going to be sold and will be the first and last AS loco I own. Dave.

In my experience most Bachamann locos need the grease clea ed out of the bogies, the fickups adjusted outwards nad then lightly re greased . Always works for me. Dave.

Thanks to Phil Parker for the Parking charge info. However, I only spotted all this because I was looking to see if anyone had posted video of our layout. I think Warners may have a big problem with anyone that doesn't see this thread for any reason. Over the Steve Cole I think. Dave.

I was exhibiting and had a Parking pass in my window in the Paddock. Euro Car Parks have me for 24 hours from Sunday arrival at 08.53. £8.20 BRM get this sorted please. Dave.
