  1. I am building a large 0 gauge layout and have found the Lenz DCC system is perfect for operating in this gauge . The recent addition of the wireless hand throttle has been a massive advance to the system
  2. It beggars belief that the people who come up with these plans for housing estates and the planning authorities that then allow the building to take place still never seem to learn that this sort of thing occurs. Maybe Network Rail should send the bill to the local planning authority for causing the land slip ………
  3. Some nice pictures of the Class 25 and I would agree that the Paul Chetter sound file is the best on the market of all Loco types
  4. Ref Heljan spares I have often bought spares from GM without any ongoing issues. However I was surprised to hear the other day that Heljan do not supply GM with any screws or metal parts and this has been the case since GM took over the spares supply. I’ve been trying to source the long screws that secure the body of the 0 gauge locos to the chassis which considering the weight involved are fairly vital components. I’m a big fan of Heljan 0 gauge locomotives but do find the lack of backing from this manufacture somewhat frustrating.
  5. The Royal Mail around our area is getting really bad I've been told by our postie that we are now only getting deliveries every other day because there are no staff to do the deliveries ....
  6. Thanks for the pictures of Crown Street Tunnel fascinating area and very historic
  7. I saw the black version on Tuesday night on a friends layout and was very impressed by the straight out of the box running performance. Generally very pleased with the long awaited model but I have to agree with others comments ‘Bling’ was the first thing that came into my mind. I never saw an ex-works example personally the ones I saw around the Chester area were very uncared for and I’m sure my normal weathering skills will put the model into the right state of appearance.
  8. I saw this at the Guild show at Stafford what a cracking layout just goes to show what can be achieved in 7mm
  9. If you did that you might have massive flash over ⚡️
  10. Hi Jim you mentioned a slate train to Bescot just as a matter of interest where does this train start from ?
  11. If only the power’s that be hadn’t sold it what amazing preservation locomotive it would have been 👌
  12. I’ve found that 6ft radius is quite tight for that type of Loco and I personally make 7ft my preferred minimum radius
  13. It’s to make sure it’s not the real thing
  14. Enjoy the time off with the family Jim ……I think you deserve it 🤩
