    I had a thought, could you crowd fund something similar to miniature wonderland and offer club membership and annual passes as the rewards?

      Bit of an odd location, but there is logic. Very tourist orientated area, 5 min walk from national rail and Bure valley railway, lots of broads traffic, plus there's always roys of wroxham...

    2. Adamphillip

      Adamphillip

      Paul, I lent the train to some guys from Market Deeping MRC and it appears it was accidentally left at the venue, ether by myself or the club members

      I used Dynamis for years and liked it. ’Cos I had too many locos for it I changed to NCE. Very happy with it.

      Look at an NCE powercab.

      I found this document really helpful when upgrading DCC systems. https://www.dccconcepts.com/manual/dcc-advice-6-our-dcc-brand-by-brand-opinion/

    I don't know what I want to do anymore, I can never seem to get my layouts past the track on board stage

    just a heads up on facebook there is someone claiming to be from Love productions [the people who make great British bake-off] posting in model railway groups wanting to enlist modellers in a project to build the worlds biggest model railway for TV, it makes no sense so you'll most likely spot it, no idea what their end goal is

      Sounds like a great idea, James May's line was not exactly a model railway. What is needed is a a hall at the NEC and lots of modular layuts US style made to standard templates with some protocab Radio Control locos to get round the power supple DCC/DC problems and allow through running. Probably need to do it in the USA.

      I've always thought the Cardington hangers would be a fine space for a layout. At about 800' long, you could (at 4mm scale) have a scale 11 mile run before you have to go round any corners.

  16. Adamphillip

    anyone got an experience with Roco 40344 close couplers?

  17. Adamphillip

    half tempted to buy the silver DB mk3 DVT to be hauled on the end of my 92 relief train

  18. Adamphillip

    it's been a while but I'm back, and with a new layout

  19. Adamphillip

    question 2 of today, how far apart should overhead line masts be for N

  23. Adamphillip

    well the tfl layout has been mothballed successfully

  24. Adamphillip

    sadly due to constraints with space the TFL layout is ether getting mothballed or dismantled
