  1. A. Oakes of Langley Green, Oldbury, New , secondhand and lots of interesting treasures..Always ask if not on view , there's lot more 'out the back'
  2. R8213 Select isn't capable of F9 and higher , one of the limitations of a budget controller/

  4. Take a look at this link ( Bottom of the page):- Quote :- 1979: School children sit along the edge of the platform at West Ealing station, London. https://flashbak.com/going-loco-the-joy-of-trainspotting-37301/ Having said that the track looks disused, but still frightening

    Having just sold a loco on Ebay , which has been paid for , the address for delivery comes up as :- ARGOS in Sainsbury's eCP:XXXXXXXXX 30 Mere Green Road Sutton Coldfield The XX has been amended as it appears to be a code for delivery but is otherwise accurate. Why would I be sending my loco that has just sold to ARGOS in Sainsbury's.. Anyone had anything similar or is it suspect?
  6. Looks like giving up shaving as well, If I can't carry razor blades home, and six months in jail for carrying them on a camping holiday. And how are the female of the species expected to manage without nail scissors. Walking thru a multinational market , its surprising how many machettes are used on international veggies stands , which are then left on open display , and access to the ANY punter....
  7. Curved points and nio pickups on the centre wheels , if its the "basic" set that is .

    Are they refering it to the "Blue Pullman " of about 10 years ago run by Fragonset witha T 'n T pair of class 47's
  9. did you remove the capacitors across the motor circuit? Is the circuit wired for best practice on DCC , ie no loops and snubbers at the open end ( electrically open end) ....?
  10. You need to have a 'motor' connected to get a programming response.. alternatively plug it in the power car , program it, change CV29 to give it reverese ( the power car goes forward and the trailer goes backwards at the same time) , then put it back into the trailer car and finally program the decoder now in the power car... alternatively put the trailer chip in any handy 8 pin DCC loco sitting around and program it there ...
  11. Working here as well today..

    Hope he gets paid for it, looking at the bid history its a little suspicious to say the least.....
  14. Ive just checked the DAPOL122's and 121's that I have .. ALL of the class 122's have a hole in the bogie hub cap for the speedo cable along with the hole in the chassis. Its on the 'passenger end' nearside , just below the hole in the solebar, forward wheel. None of the 121's have a hole for the speedo cable in the hub cab. Ah well - out with the Dremel... Edited to make it a little clearer after reading it back.
  15. Its now a requirement that anyone taking blood pressure or medication for life threatening conditions, have a review. Medication was stopped till I was reviewed, which sounds a bit naughty. Having now got me onto drugs for a lifetime of blood pressure treatment, etc.,then there is a threat that prescription drugs will be stopped. Mine was with the doctor/ surgery/ nurse, when and where weight, BMI , BP etc were all logged and 'targetted' ( lose 14lbs by next review, cut down on animal fats to lower cholestrol etc, ) and then came the 'threats' by stating what percenage of the population pop off in the next 12 months with my statistics. A copy of the 'review' was then printed and handed to me. So, according to the forecasts , I should be wishing you all good luck and good bye...

  22. Stop thinking of how to codge it together , get a proper controller , You spend hundreds of pounds on each loco , don't know how many thousands on a layout , then try and get it working with suspect circuitry in the hope of saving pennies.
  23. Last time I saw it the track through MOIRA , Leicestershire was well underused, unless its now been closed.....
