The Great gathering.

Looking at the last photo I notice you have a small platform & shelter - I probably noticed them before but my eye was looking elsewhere.

 

Are they home made or kits?

 

I'm also looking for something small, single storey & low relief to use as or instead of a goods shed/provender store in front of the fiddle yard on Puzzel Yard. Have you come across anything that might suit before I start scratch building?

 

Thanks mate.

I think that Shelter is Skytrex Ray, I also used another Skytrex one on Pen Y Bont. I cant remember anything other than the Bachmann Provender Store that I used on Bala Town for the Goods Yard, it's big but was cheap from Tower Models.

Hi Andy, do you use the point drop inserts? Really struggling to order them from Parliamentary Trains, any other retailer sell them that you know of? Cheers.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Julian, Andy does use them, as I picked him some up last year at the Bristol show 

 

Cheers, Ade.

[Baggies1961]

Cheers Ade, thought so, any other suppliers you know of?

[Adrian Stevenson]

No, only ever seen them sell them as they make them.

 

They are listed as doing Bristol show again in a couple of weeks.

 

Cheers, Ade.

I have used them, and I got mine from Parliamentary Trains at a Show. I don't know of anyone else. 

two tone green designed them, so a PM to him might help.

Well this evening I've had a Shed full, Ashley and Trevor Toon, Big John, and Mark the Chippy, plus me.

 

We ran all three Layouts and had a great evening.

 

My new Camera also arrived today. When I say new, it's actually a second hand Fuji the same as I have, but 8 MP instead of 7.1 and most importantly does NOT have a broken Battery holder that needs elastic bands to hold it all together.

 

WHOOPS.

hi Ade, Yes mate, thanks, only a few Pixels difference, but it seems to make a big difference.

[Adrian Stevenson]

I think you can tell. I always say that the photos don't do justice to the real layout when seen in the flesh.

 

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Andy

 

I want to put a decoder in my Railmotor. I see Youchoos list a sound for a railmotor but I have no idea which Zimo decoder and speaker to choose. The is no DCC socket and the motor is a Mashima. Any ideas

Hi Don, Not a clue I'm afraid, but if your fairly flexible on a Zimo supplier, then a PM to Paul Chetter / Pauliebanger, or a phone call to Didgitrain might get you the information and advice you need. Both are extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

I've never seen or heard one, real or Model.

 

All the best with your search.

Andy.
