A Diorama

Personally I would not use screws but glue them with no nails instead

By the look of it when they listed them all they entered cost price by mistake shame they spotted the error.

Thread here Regards Dave

They draw 7 Amps at 16 volts

Clearly nobody commenting here has owned one and had the joy of using one properly they are a marvel and highly addictive. The thread is about live steam and not batteries!! If you want to discuss other things then please start an appropriate thread. I am assuming the OP is referring to Hornby OO live steam and the reason it didn;t catch on at the time was because it was a lot of money at the time to outlay and needed a dedicated track/control system. It now has a dedicated following and many locomotives commanding a far higher price than originally sold for. For more info please visit this website https://www.oolivesteam.com/

How about these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/C8724-24-PCS-36-Metal-Wheels-for-Model-Train-1-87-HO-Scale-DC-Wheel-set-New/311862974740 There are other options if you search their shop. Dave

Great video!

If you intend to turn it into a proper room there are allsorts of building regs to adhere to but if you are only going to access it by a loft ladder and don't want to go mad and change joists etc board it out and srew the boards down every 6 inches you will be surprised how solid that will make it. Dave

Always found the service great as well.

Best to do online, I don't think you will get much sense on the phone. Dave

Hornby themselves are usually the cheapest as long as they have them in stock. Dave

Hi Mark the jumper is the same as the ones between power car & trailer cars it is there so the sets can be put on shore supply whilst in the depot. Yes the buffers are there all the time behind the skirts and they are solid not sprung. Dave

Here is a picture of the real thing taken with the cab & skirts removed so you can see all the other bits in there clearly. Dave

I have had mine on plasterboard walls for five years using normal plasterboard fixings with no problems, I did however drill extra holes in them and doubled up on the number of fixings. Dave

How about experimenting with fibre optics then you could have the led's under the baseboard. Dave

You have probably changed the speed step settings on your controller by accident. Bachmann decoders are actually ESU decoders the lights only work properly if you have it set to 128 steps you have probably got it set on 14 or 28 steps if everything else works as normal. Dave

I would have liked to attend but unfortunate choice of date I will like possibly some others be traveling to brum for warley. Perhaps a better date might be chosen next time. Dave

If it is still moving or still finishing playing one of the function sounds then by pressing F1 all you are doing is pausing the sound not shutting it down make sure all other sounds have finished playing and you let it idle for a few seconds before pressing F1 to shut down. Most people don't know you can pause the sound whilst running try it for yourself whilst running round your layout with sound press F1 to pause sound & press it again to resume sound. Dave

Best way is to use one of these http://durhamtrainsofstanley.co.uk/my_store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=119_120_52&products_id=4890 Dave
