    I'm looking forwards to these, should be nice having a full 225 set

    Production prototype looks ok, only gripe now is the 8pin socket and limited functionality that it entails

    @Hattons Davenow I know I've already said this on twitter but it'd be nice to see Hattons manufacture T-trak kits and fremo kits, stuff that could be very cheap to produce and sell and contains everything needed for someone to get started on modular layouts

    add a canal with a lock, then you can call it *town name* locks, like Durum locks

    I've been super quiet on this lately but I've been rebuilding the baseboards and setting up Cobalt point motors, now I'm wondering if I custom build a set of curved points for the station throat where the track S curve into platforms 1 and 2 or sit the crossing out on the approach like in the plan?
  6. Adamphillip

    custom built curved points? yeah or give it a miss?

      For more realistic appearance, all points need to be custom made, just as most are on the real thing. So yes.

    Any updates? I'd really like to see this finished

    no matter what your locos liveries will be out of date at some point, it's the nature of the railways
  9. Adamphillip
    see above picture, that's the corridors on a straight with those couplings
  10. Adamphillip
    can do one better and give you a link to them on the gaugemaster site https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/magento/fleischmann-fm386515.html
  11. Adamphillip
    use the standard length Fleischmann Profi couplings, they're rigid enough and allow for running around 2nd radius
  12. Adamphillip
    looking forwards to getting mine from Trains4u, they're holding a couple for me
  13. Adamphillip
    undecided, currently I'm working on my N gauge exhibition layout and all the stock for that is DC
  14. Adamphillip
    looks good, looking forwards to more updates

    Me and the girlfriend are going to be doing T-Trak as a little project so she can have her own layout.

    just an idea, couldn't we have a Modular topic under specialist interests?

      Maybe just take over the sort of already existing section - https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/forum/252-rmweb-modular-project/

    just thought I'd ask in this area if anyone would be interested in doing T-Trak, it's an N gauge modular format popularised in Japan using Kato Unitrack. http://t-trak.org/index.html < this is the page to explain it in more depth Here's some examples:
  18. Adamphillip
    that pinned topic still isn't all that clear, for example, are you using Xpressnet or Loconet for handsets on the DCC system, you can't expect everyone to just stand around one point where the DCC system is, you need throttle and booster bus.
  19. Adamphillip
    well seeing as Hornby are the only port of call for buying the class 91 now it seems we're either going to have to put pressure on Hornby to deliver a top quality model, with top quality DCC [21pin] or we're going to have to be ingenious and fit our own 21pin sockets and rewire the lights!
  20. Adamphillip
    now to update you all about what's happening with the layout, I've got legs to build, an overhead lighting box and a new fiddle yard as I found the previous owner had left solder in the point work on the fiddle yard and it keeps derailing trains I'm trying to reverse. I also fixed the show side point motors and need to replace some old HM point motors as they've seized up. Also in other news Oakwood lane will be appearing at Market Deeping's Stamford show.
  21. Adamphillip
    @RBE just an idea, could you possible press ahead with the mk4 and DVT to beat Hornby to the market and possibly gain the capital to make models wirthout the deposit funding? yes we're getting a Hornby class 91 but we're not getting the stock to go with it! I'm not expecting a reply just wanted to voice my idea.
  22. Adamphillip
    Right what was actually decided and what are people actually using? I'm in the process of building a relatively large mainline terminus station and will be making it modular, I was originally going to go with the Fremo standard and use one of their end plates, bit seeing as this discussion is here I'll ask. Also the standards listed in the standards topic aren't very clear.
  23. Adamphillip
    @RBE can we have conductive couplings so the DVT controls all the coach lighting, it'll be nice to have DCC lighting on the train, would be better to have it from the DVT as the class 91 might be coupled directly to the DVT and run blunt end first.
  24. Adamphillip

    feels like the class 91 doesn't get much love

    1. truffy

      truffy

      Au contraire, it appears to be getting a little too much love of late ;)

  25. Adamphillip
    yeah, a bit of an odd one this, you have Bachmann, Accurascale and Cavalex all pushing the envelope with DCC functions and high detail electric locos and Hornby just seem to be content to produce mediocre models with only basic functionality in comparison.
