Hi folks, Looking at wiring up my railway using DC and section switches. What is the point of on off on switches? I envisaged it would only be useful to have on off switches. Are they more for two controllers rather than one single?

Morning, Would anyone be kind enough to advise if 91119, intercity liveried is out today? Any diagram info would be a lot of help Thanks

Fantastic stuff James, the last batch of 37s are particularly nice. Keep up the good work. Can we expect more tractor action in your next post?

Thanks for all the feedback folks. The loco is currently sitting in a tub looking quite awful to be frank. I tried using white spirit but its done nothing but make the loco smell even worse than it did from Dettol. Is my only real option now to use phoenix stripper?

Thanks for all the responses, most helpful. I've had the shell in Dettol for nearly 48 hours and the paint has got soft and scrapes off with a bit of effort. It's not really peeling off like I envisaged though. I'll bring it out tonight when I get home and take it from there. Hopefully I don't go home to a blob of distorted plastic!

Morning all, I've been looking through various threads regarding paint stripping and noticed that Dettol seems to work for a number of folks. I'm stripping a Bachmann class 20 and have had the shell in Dettol overnight and it doesn't seem to have had much success at taking the paint off. The paint has gone a tacky sort of feel. Is it a case of leaving it soaking for longer? Does the plastic start to become distorted the longer you leave it This forum has always been very useful, any wise words would be most appreciated cheers

Thanks for the information throughout this thread. What ready to run coaching stock would be seen in this era? Suburban/mk1/lms stock?

Lovely little layout. What are the platforms made from?

Not at all, I just remember the type of rust buckets that James is going for, happy days indeed!

ooh bingo.....i'll go for 010, 055, 051, 170, 248, 403, 704 and 717

Thanks very much for all your input on this. The loco was an ebay purchase (excellent condition stated) and at the moment, the seller is disputing the problem rather disappointingly. He has proposed a part refund but to be honest, for the price I paid, it should really be going back. If the seller is reading this, so be it!

Thanks for the reply. If you don't mind me asking, what sort of cost is the new can motor? I know, high mileage 08's, who knows what folk get up to!

Hi Folks, I recently purchased a second hand Bachmann class 08 and while running in one direction, the loco is a little hesitant, when I run it the other way, there is a terrible sort of humming/electrical almost sound coming from the motor. I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar and what sort of action you took to fix (if it is). thanks

Hello all, would anyone in the know be so kind to post what diagrams the intercity 91119 will work tomorrow (09/04/19)? any help would be greatly appreciated cheers 37403

That's incredible amount of locos you have. Look forward to seeing your latest developments

Impressive stuff James, that is a lot of stock! How many locos do you have? Any progress on the next batch of locos you have been working on?

I don't think I've ever been involved in the dream list which is why I'll give it a punt this morning before the big announcement. I can see Hornby pulling the class 45 out the hat, a 104/120/126 dmu and an emu of the 303/4/5 type Well, we can all dream

This layout is simply stunning, the simplistic layout and sublime attention to detail pull together and have produced in my opinion a real winner. I think it's been asked before, but can we have some more pics...it is Christmas after all

Hi folks, I've been hearing through the vine that FL/DRS/West coast are looking at providing traction for Colas operated test trains owing to reliability problems. Not sure if this is hot air or not. Anyone able to expand on the situation if there is any truth in it? cheers

Hi all, I've been looking through some historical discussions from this forum regarding the bonding of plasticard to cardboard buildings. I've been using some normal PVA glue which works to a point before after some time starts to de-bond. Can anyone point me in the right direction of what I could be using to prevent this happening? Not looking forward to watching all my buildings delaminating thanks all

Lovely stuff James. Have you thought about what beastie you'll be doing next? There were plenty of grot bags running around in that 1997 time. 37232 is dutch transrail is on my to do list!

Great thread. I've been looking at getting the airbrush noted in this thread - AS186. is this the same thing with an alternative brand? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SwitZer-Double-Action-Airbrush-Kit-Compressor-With-Tank-AS186-Paint-Nail-Tatoo/132166170957?epid=26018379175&hash=item1ec5b7b94d:g:b-AAAOSwuIlaWMw9

Lovely mix of stock. Do you have a list of what the complete stock list will be? I think we all have a need and want, two very different things

Any progress on this one? Excellent layout Some more locos of some stock posing will be suffice

Usual excellent standard. Nice work.
