The Nth Degree Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Absolutely! I had a test a couple days ago - the loco and a couple wagons fit on a biscuit tin! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dava Posted August 23, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 23, 2017 According to a narrow gauge forum, a Lima motor bogie in 0 gauge would go round a 3.5" radius circle of track. We have a 10" diameter deep cake tin so that would be ideal for a complete roundy-roundy for the 48DS! Dava 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nth Degree Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 When will the Type 2 be revealed?Sorry, missed this question. Very soon is the answer. As soon as the Rustons are out I'll announce it. I didn't want to be in the position of effectively having two announcements open, with the Rustons not yet released, so decided to wait. I am very, very excited about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toffee Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Co - Bo ? You might well be right. I seem to remember that we were informed that the new type 2 would not have ER connections, if that is right then it narrows the choice down to 2/3 classes, 22, 28, and possibly 29. Only type twos not to have been based on the ER at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian G Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 A Class 22 would be good as not many went blue, those that did only lasted a few years before scrapping. Ian G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delticfan Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I can't afford two Class 24's (I'm modelling the Consett Ore train at the moment) But I can push the boat out for one Co Bo...will have to be a good boy though lol and wash the dishes more often...

Ian G They only lasted a few years, full stop!! sort of funny how much interest there is in them, now. For me it's their Forest of Dean links. I couldn't give two hoots for the Class 29..!!

Hesperus Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The 48DS is looking absolutely cracking. Is it going to be available without a DCC chip for luddites like me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davec.hh Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The 48DS is looking absolutely cracking. Is it going to be available without a DCC chip for luddites like me? I gather that it is not available without the DCC chip, but will run DCC or DC. The main advantage being the stay alive capacitors which will help it over point work without stalling. I've ordered a DCC sound fitted one even though at the moment I run DC. DaveC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Young Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 To return this thread to the almost here and now and away from yet more boring wish listing... for the person asking after photos of the coming model, I took these on the LLC stand at Guildex: Looks stunning! Cheers, Andrew 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nth Degree Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Thanks Andrew! I didn't manage to take any photos at all... Excuse the mess under the bonnet, the production versions will be secured, but this was rushed out without all the components fixed in place, but you can see where everything goes and how much we've jammed in there. To answer your question, Hesperus, Dave is correct – all models are DCC, so you only get o choose between sound and no sound. Both will run on DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
