I too was very impressed with the speed with which Antics online dispatched the order that I purchased from them. There was a package in my mailbox within 4 days of placing my order; it was probably the fastest delivery I'd ever had from the UK, and at only £5 for shipping, I thought it was great value too. Limited disposable income for model railways means that I usually buy heavily discounted items from a Liverpudlian retailer, but I regularly check out the Antics site as a result of my experience with them.

Wow - I'm impressed with what you've managed to cobble together with Sketchup. I downloaded it myself with a view to bepoke CAD work for model railways, but got no further than a cursory look at the enormous pdf instruction manual, which was rather intimidating :-S

Looking at the photos here I am struck at how the sense of spaciousness that is possible in N is conveyed in the open spaces of your layout, rather than by running very long trains - the six or so carriages you have in your trains look convincingly "long" and in proportion to the environment that you've created. Really impressive stuff!

I have a 'Clipper' which I have used for the last 15 years with a wide range of locos - from elderly Tri-ang TT A1A-A1As through to the latest incarnation of the Athearn HO SD40T-2 - and it has always performed very satisfactorily. I currently model primarily in N gauge, and find that it works just fine with both UK and US outline locos. Once they have been run in I have found that it is possible to run most locos at a smooth, steady, crawl around my small oval test track, provided the resistance and wave switches are set appropriately. When I do get around to shopping for a new controller, it will be for a DCC system. I can't see any real need to replace the Clipper, especially as it provides an excellent source of power for my soldering iron!
