Night Train

Seeing as this is pretty much a "clean sheet" design from the various manufacturers, has any decision on couplers been made yet? Here is an ideal situation for them to produce something that is small, discrete and works well. Hopefully we dont get abominations like the Arnold N gauge coupler or slightly smaller tension locks.

Thanks. It was the extra hood behind the cab that confused me.

Brilliant. Whats the shunter in the last couple of photos?

If you are modeling, maybe ask what the retailer will do as "store credit" to spend on something else. WIll probably be a better offer than cash.

I really like the Dapol screwlink couplings and fit these as standard on my O gauge rolling stock.

Thanks I had a look at that. Logically, I would have thought that would take me to the top of the next page, not the bottom.

Hi, not sure if its just me but I have an issue when I click on the next page button. The following page will load at the top, but then jumps down to the last post at the bottom, meaning I have to scroll back to the top again. Thanks.

Well as you mentioned it......

I did think about that, but thought it best to keep that thread a bit more factual. Although, this might not be that far from the actual truth. 😀

Wow, sounds like a right xxxx storm and a hosting company staffed by muppets. No wonder it was so much work to migrate. Many thanks for your work and getting there in the end. 👍 Do you have any recourse against Dediserve for failure to deliver service and loss of data?

FOS Kits and Bar Mills have a few small buildings in their inventory that might be suitable. Small and mimimal, but still big enough to provide a purpose for the railway to be there. https://barmillsmodels.com/product/rea-depot-at-cranberry-yard-ho/ https://barmillsmodels.com/product/springfield-stations/ https://fosscalemodels.com/collections/ho-scale-kits/products/yard-office-three-ho-scale-kit https://fosscalemodels.com/collections/ho-scale-kits/products/tower-two-ho-scale-kit If you dont like wooden kits and prefer a plastic one, the Woodland Scenics depot kits might work. https://railsofsheffield.com/products/woodland-scenics-wd239-flag-depot-hooo?_pos=19&_sid=a0de7ebb6&_ss=r

Wow, almost 6 years. But well worth waiting for. I am envious of the new owner.

Forum administrator actually. So yes, I do have experience in dealing with hosting providers.

I am surprised the server hosts havent been booted out in favour of a provider that can adequately support the site. Or at least been threatened that is what is going to happen.

My renewal letter came through with the quote £120 less than last year. Needless to say, I accepted that.

Tribute from Buckingham Palace.

Superb work SImon and congratualtions on a successful first outing. Seeing all those flight cases brought back happy memories of an earlier life and knowing how much I spent on mine 15 years ago, I know there is an impressive investment there. Looking forward to this coming "dahn sarf".

I dont know how I missed this thread, but delighted to find it and spend a very pleasant couple of hours reading through. I love how the classic simplicity of the track plan is contrasted by the impeccable and flawless scenery that surrounds it. An absolute work of art. Thank you for sharing with us.

There is a building going up near here that is primarily OSB and polystyrene., I did spot a few bits of 4 x 2 as well. Hardly robust materials. Maybe they will skim it with bricks, but that means they are cosmetic rather than scructural.

For any Ivor the Engine fans out there, there is a particularly good 16mm kit available from Rail-Road Models.

Was good until about 19.04 this evening. Then about 30 seconds for a new page to load (blank page), but it only partly loads. (Image is pale with a "loading" box at the bottom of the page) for another 40 seconds or so. Then I got this error message.

I used to use XtrackCAD, but now prefer SCARM.
