      Any motorbike's better than no motorbike! :)

      he was complaining that he can't strip it down completely and that it will most likely break at some point

  3. Adamphillip

    having trouble understanding what is what on contikit's web site

      Just confine yourself to the Roco and Bemo pages, and you'll be fine.

      I find a quick Google of the model number tends to answer most queries

    3. Adamphillip

      Adamphillip

      good point

    thinking about making a common fiddle yard and opening a club where all our layouts will use the 1 fiddle yard

    1. mozzer models

      mozzer models

      then you get 2 bookings for the same weekend & have to rush & build a 2nd

      ...hmmmm seems like a good idea.....I have never seen it work in practice.

      I've seen where the layout that had the fiddle yard out last weekend forgot to mention the "slight" damage it took the first hour of the show to repair.

  5. Adamphillip

    thinking about remaking my layout with peco points as currently I'm using Hornby points

    1. Adamphillip

      Adamphillip

      only problem is some of the corners are too tight for peco track spacings

    2. steve22

      steve22

      If you're replacing Hornby with Peco Setrack the problem that Adamphilip mentions shouldn't arise. When I've used Peco Streamline I've increased the track spacing on the corners to Setrack spacing. All this assuming that you have double track and corners, of course.

  6. Adamphillip

    I'm surprised no one is talking about the "new" Hornby DVTs and their problems

    1. steveb860

      steveb860

      You could of course start or resurrect a thread, outlining the problems , then perhaps people will join in.

    2. vaughan45

      vaughan45

      Medical DVT's are always a problem

  7. Adamphillip

    what's going on with the clubs function on the forum?

    1. AY Mod

      AY Mod

      It's not fully functional yet, something for the future so please don't try to create anything (again).

    2. Adamphillip

      Adamphillip

      Rodger that AY, will keep my inquisitive mind well away for now

  8. Adamphillip

    Gaugemaster transformers, would a T1DC be alright for powering a layouts point decoders and CDUs

      Hi Adam, you may get an answer if asked in the Electrics non DCC, Skills and Knowledge section.

    2. Adamphillip

      Adamphillip

      Yeah, though sorted now

  9. Adamphillip

    well, damn it, just realised I've lost an entire train last month

    1. paulprice

      paulprice

      how

    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

  10. Adamphillip

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

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

    1. peach james

      should do it.

  12. Adamphillip

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

    1. Ozexpatriate

      Ozexpatriate

      Sorry to hear it.

    2. Adamphillip

      Adamphillip

      luckily I've been able to mothball it

  13. Adamphillip

    also fixed my track down and then remembered that I need to put point motors in

      I already have an N gauge layout... just wondering what to build on my 6ft by 1.5ft board

  16. Adamphillip

    new layout in planning, this one is a OO city terminus that will be built on 3 4ft by 1.5ft boards

    1. Catkins

      Catkins

      sounds interesting.

    2. Adamphillip

      Adamphillip

      should be a nice layout for shows, I'm going to be making the overall roof and details in my 3D printer

  17. Adamphillip

    thinking about buying a piko smartcontroller when they come out with the ice3 dcc sound set

    1. Blue Max

      Blue Max

      Like the look of the Smartcontroler as well, still no date when it will be released or the ESU version

    how much would anyone be willing to pay for packs of 6 jersey barriers in 00?

    1. shortliner

      shortliner

      depends on length and I'd need them in HO

    2. Adamphillip

      Adamphillip

      well it's scale-able because I 3D print them to order

  19. Adamphillip

    I wonder, in 00 gauge how long is a single eurostar coach

    1. Londontram

      Londontram

      According to goggle there

      18.7 m (61 ft 4 in) (middle)[1]

      22.15 m (72 ft 8 in) (driving)

      21.84 m (71 ft 8 in) (powered middle)which makes at 4mm to 1ft a middle coach is 245mm long

       

    2. Adamphillip

      Adamphillip

      thanks, been thinking about 3d printing intermediate coaches to replace Hornby ones

  20. Adamphillip

    trying to find drawings of mail/baggage coaches to tray and make a 3D model out of

      Adamphillip

      or wait to get my own 3D printer hmm

  23. Adamphillip

    apparently someone's making a n guage class 92 in the near future :)

    1. Wild Boar Fell

      Wild Boar Fell

      Someone on the N gauge forum is working on a 3D printed/resin cast 92 kit, which looks superb from what I have seen http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=5668.105

    2. Adamphillip

      Adamphillip
