    yeah, as someone who lives on the east coast mainline and is old enough to remember the class 91s and HSTs on the route but nothing before that I want to be able to run trains of my childhood, would like to know why people aren’t as infatuated with modern ECML trains as other regions.
  2. Adamphillip
    That was for OO and they’re no longer doing it…for now

    With the popularity of the class 92, could we be seeing the rest of the 1980's-1990's electric locos? like a N scale class 90, or a class 91 with mk4's seeing as the mk5's appear to be as popular?
  4. Adamphillip
    Surprised no one is talking about the class 92 samples being at GETS and being ran on Mr Waterman’s layout
  5. Adamphillip
    definitely thinking about getting a set of these, too bad I only have a DRS 68 and not a TPE one

    Got a few from Trains4U recently, they're superb wagons, really nice when paired up with the excellent class 92, just need the double deck variant and more of the open wagons for my collection.

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

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

      Medical DVT's are always a problem

  8. Adamphillip
    just hoping my DVT is fine, though talking to John today it seems it is ok, this does stink of foul play on Hornby's end

    ok so, phase 1 of the rebuild is now complete, the scenic side is all aligned and not longer causing trains to derail, next job is building the 2 fiddle yard boards and rewiring the controls, but for now here's a photo of Oakwood lane out in the sun

    planning the rewiring of the layout and the new controller trolley I'm going to be building, see attached word document for my ideas 2147225869_Adamswiringplans.docx
  11. Adamphillip
    Ok major rebuild time, I'm doubling the size of the fiddle-yard and moving the backscene further back to fit a village into the scenic side of the layout, so here's the new plan.

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

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

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

    Ah, that link didn't embed the video into the post

    A Japanese youtuber has been looking through Kato's new models room at the Kato HQ and here are the body shells for the class 800
  15. Adamphillip
    I would have made them magnetic, was this ever on the table?
  16. Adamphillip
    just decided to tot up how much a full 225 set would be and you're looking at around £550 for a full rake plus class 91, which isn't too bad considering what you'd pay for some DMU models
  17. Adamphillip
    Good to see that this topic has had a breath of new life breathed into it
  18. Adamphillip
    Without a light meter not really, it'll very from strip to strip as they're only cheap LEDs
  19. Adamphillip
    From what I understand they still make trips onto 3rd rail lines from time to time
  20. Adamphillip
    so it's been a while, and I haven't really done much to the layout as due to the current world situation, I've been unable to get to the club to work on things in a decent environment. Current job that need completing are, new higher capacity fiddle yard, install new alignment dowels, relay track on baseboard joints and rebuild the station platforms. Also latest additions to the layout is a Caledonian class 92, some IPA car haulers and a regional length eurostar.

    Looks good in the new video, watching it right now, curious to see what you're doing to the town, is it going to be more urban? Seeing as you have the apartment block
  22. Adamphillip
    @tender how did you do this?
  23. Adamphillip
    wow I've been away a while and thought I'd update things here, I've been able to get a large 5m LED strip to work and now just need to sort out the relays for building lights, it's all ran off a 5v transformer off amazon, next job will be to design a custom PCB
  24. Adamphillip
    damn, any luck with that in the intervening year? I'm looking at giving it a crack again
  25. Adamphillip
    Well now these might sell like hotcakes
