    I've finally started today on building my tribute to Whitrope Tunnel. Has anyone else attempted a representation of those great retaining walls in miniature?

    I'm Building Chathill in OO. The goods shed is a puzzle. Yes I've got the footprint (OS Maps plus the full track layout of the station held at Northumberland County Record Office) but finding any decent photos of the building is a real challenge. Ive never found anything that shows the east or south elevation. A plan would be really useful!

    I’m looking at a thread on RMWeb, my first visit to the forum in a long long time. Likely to be my last if I cant figure out how to get rid of the annoying video continuously playing in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Please please can someone tell me how to switch it off.

      I've had same problem, weird ad (always the same one) appears on tablet, makes site impossible to read, but not on laptop or phone. I just look at RMweb on one of the last 2.  Tablet is  fine with any other web page, so looks like whoever this company is is deliberately targeting RMweb.

      @greslet you can install AdGuard. It’s a separate app but works for Safari. I’m using it on my iPhone. The only thing that it doesn’t block ATM is that one video.

    The Rede Valley Railway is finally getting the engines it needs to make it look authentically in the English borders. First one into traffic is a Hornby Q6, weathered and sound fitted. A steam railway set in the North East needs the engines that made that part of the world distinct. Steam ended on the […] The post Hornby Q6 is added to the fleet appeared first on Rede Valley Railway.

    How about a NER J21 or J26/27, these would go nicely alongside the Q6 and the planned G5 from TMC, all in use from WW1 to the end of steam, so loads of livery possibilities.....and how about some NER 20T wooden coal hoppers, these were in use for a similar period, and used in their 100s by the NCB into the 1990s. But it’s Hornby, and these aren’t used on the Southern, so zero chance!

    Good to know, I’m about to standardise on Zimo for everything

    Yes, I use JMRI already, but I’m looking for simpler ways to automate, that don’t necessarily depend on full block detection

    Who uses assymetric DCC to automate bits of their layout? I’m looking to automate a fiddle yard and do it without expensive software, strikes me that some simple logic and some relays on my mega points system will do he job. Anyone experienced in making assymetric DCC work? Will All ZIMO decoders support assymetric?
  21. greslet
    Is one key difference that the ZIMO MX600 supports asymmetric DCC and the Lenz standard+ doesn’t?
  22. greslet
    Am I right in thinking the ZIMO 600 supports asymmetric DCC while the LENZ standard doesn’t?

    I'm a firm convert to DCC, but I still use my H&M Duette to test every loco before it gets chipped, the Duette is about 45 years old and still works as well as it did the day it arrived under the Christmas tree.
