70b Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 . . Today my DCC Concepts Catalogue arrived. If you ain't got one then get one. It is like looking at the future. There is stuff in there I didn't know existed and they have wires and some green things with solder on. They even have some lovely levers....... Yo. a couple of weeks back, I found myself in their shop in Settle, came out much lighter of wallet, having been fed tea and biscuits and had a lovely chat about this and that, I think my favourite manufacturer, after Peco of course, still playing with all the gadgets I didn't really need but I've had lots of fun, I wonder if my Cakebox challenge entry could just be their catalogue and some flashing lights, what size is it Phil, would it fit in a cakebox? ... to keep this properly on topic I saw their BH track whilst I was there too, no idea what gauge it was I.

Probably a birthday cake box and rectangular. Size of a Hattons' Brochure but Landscape. Beautifully produced and it smells nice too. Go for it.

Eldon Having just read that "the attention to detail of the rail chair fixings should be noted, a visual necessity for replicating true bullhead track." I wonder if perhaps I too should rip up all 100+ metres of carefully laid code 75 at Waverley East- it would probably be less effort than ballasting it I suppose!

The Blue Streak Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) All that Peecaboob and Handmade stuff is for people with too much time on their hands. What you really need is some of this (see below), you don't have to ballast it Coz it's already got a perfectly good track bed moulded on and you don't need to waste too much space, because you can fit a double loop on a 6 x 4 board. Points are available. Also My Highly detailed Triang Princess runs perfectly well when I set it up on My Granny's Rug That should end the argument and everyone can put their handbags away.
