For a newspaper, it beggars belief where did they learn the Queens English ? Here is what I saw after clicking the link...........The picture shows the culprit wrapping Horny carriages and engines in bubble wrap during the well-planned burglary. Bubble wrap is now the latest fetish then is it, what scale may I ask ? On a serious note, good to see on here that 'someone' was caught.

Just part paid for an up and coming Prairie. As always, not only a brilliant service but it was nice to talk to Dan whom has a wealth of knowledge about DCC. Keep up the good work Derails, well done. andy

You're quite correct John, I seem to recall reading that on here too. Did you manage to fix it ok SRman ?

I have 4 of this USA tank locos and I found, like others that trying to put plate in the upright position is a bit of a pain. I did manage to get one plate in the vertical position and the other 3 horizontal. It is a fiddly job but it is doable with tweezers and I use a small amount of Pritstick. You can use tacky wax too.

Were you wearing your colostomy bag or your incontinence pants Mr Stubby Sir ? I heartily concur with our sheep man, LSWR platform lamps Alan.

What a great exhibition this was. My missus dropped me off and I had a great time. The Exmoor gang worked hard but I think their hard work paid off. Great exhibits and stands too. Heartiest congratulations on a great show Exmoor Coast Modellers, looking forward to next year's show. andy

Thank you for that C6T, I shall make enquiries next weekend at the Exmoor railway exhibition at Minehead. Also, thank you for your information Johnster and Peter. I have purchased a Gaugemaster analogue controller and it has a 12v accessories socket for lights. I shall try just one or two street lights for starters, I don't want something that looks like Blackpool illumination's, just something simple first of all. Baseboards are constructed, track weathering is in progress etc. It will be interesting to see if there is a club somewhere around Exmoor because I will need help with wiring the layout. Gents, thank you all for your kind help and input. andy

Thank you gents. I've sent an email to gaugemaster and I'm awaiting a reply from them. I have a nasty feeling that I've bitten off more than I can chew when it comes to electrical thing's lol. andy

Thank you for that Tony, I'll look at the ampage tomorrow. I've got two spare mobile charger's in my store room. andy

Gents, thank you very much for your replies. Yes, the 12 street lights do have resistors on them all. I would like to have the DCC separate from these lamps and so, am I to understand that I will need 12 mobile phone charger's for these lamps or could I wire up all 12 to light them up ? I'm sorry to ask these questions but hopefully someone might say you need to do X Y Z to make them work...... Thank you again gents. andy

Good afternoon all. First off, I'm hopeless when it comes to electrical things so bear with me please. I have a DCC powercab only, sat waiting for my first ever layout to be built. Now, i purchased the other day some street lights, 00 scale LED ones but I haven't the foggiest idea what to buy to make them work ? They are 3v to 12v street lamps. Switches are one thing I need but what power unit would work them etc, I haven't a clue ? Does anyone know what I need please, or more to the point, what on earth I am on about ? Many thanks all that reply. andy

This curry evening looks like that a good time was had by all. Good to see SWAGgers enjoying themselves. I see that our BlackRat has competition from BGman.............handbags at dawn, 20 paces over their shirts me thinks. I noted that Andy Y was not there, but, i think it was very sporting of Captain Kernow to have a toy version of our Andy Y at the table Well done all

I shall make a note and pop along to this event. Looks rather interesting.
