I used to contract for the CO-OP and I've encountered it too......yuk! Just thought !!!! There's an ideal opportunity for greater DCC realism - they've got smoke, sound, flickering firboxes, headlights, cab lights, coach lights, headcode boxes, MU destinaton indicators - why not smell?!? Just imagine; a Crosti passes through - cue sulphur; then a cattle train in the opposite direction - cue slurry; then the Grimsby fish - cue FISH; whilst, due to the dairy adjacent to the station - a continual smell of rancid milk. .... oh, and don't forget the glue factory with its delivery of bones; the petfood factory receiving offal; and the brickworks chimney poring out goodness knows what. Now, combine several layouts doing the same at an exhibition - there'd be little call for refreshments !!! Regards, John Isherwood.

Regards, John Isherwood. If they ran them back and forth over that tight branch junction enough times they probably ended up with butter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious at exhibition a cacophony of sound and a back ground smell of noxious fumes! Mind you I've attended a few exhibitions whereby the smell from some visitors achieved that all on their own!

Wish I could claim the same ! Our central heating boiler has gone kaput and, whilst a replacement could be sourced in 48 hours, an installation team was not available for four weeks ! No heating beyond a trio of Dimplexes and, worse, no hot water except that which comes out of a kettle. Ten days to go - we are trying not to socialise too much at present !

Sorry to hear that John, that's, grim in this day and age, plus modern boilers have the life span of a gnat. Hope that it turns a corner for you soon.
