    After a brilliant day at Stafford yesterday...I'm now sat, after having a bash at Gr.8 drums, with a glass of something cool to hand and about to enjoy Top Gear...

    Are there any drivers/yard staff who could kindly tell me the colours of the interior walls and floor/carpet of a typical modern day portakabin please? :)

      Oh haha, no, I've not got a big enough layout for one of them! :P

    Gutted...a 'sentinel' I ordered from Hornby on Black Friday will never come because they don't have any left. Unbelievable.

      Didn't realise Hornby did a Sentinel...

    Whoa! Caught 68014 giving it the beans through Preston...nearly shook the station to bits! :)

    Quick question...are the Humbrol '...Cote' series of varnishes ok straight into an airbrush? I.e no thinning?

    1. David41283

      David41283

      I use Matt Cote thinned with white spirit. It would be too thick otherwise.

      No must be thinned...

    Anyone know if a Hornby R8247 Accessory Decoder will work with an NCE Powercab system...I'm having problems :/

    1. Trainshed Terry

      Trainshed Terry

      No reason why. But I suggest that you post the question in DCC section as you will get a better response.

    Anyone know if this is a 'drag'? Just wondering because of the headcode... http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O34055/2014/09/28/advanced

      Empty coaching stock

    2. irishmail

      irishmail

      Correct, a 5 in the headcode is ECS.

    3. TheSignalEngineer

      TheSignalEngineer

      Looks like a positioning move to cover an earlier problem. Working ECS to Preston then 9M57 Preston (Cancelled Glasgow - Preston) to Euston via Birmingham. I think this should have been formed from the 0920 Birmingham - Glasgow which was caped northbound at Lancaster.

      It has a sticker on it instead of a transfer, but it'll clean up!

      I always associate Glenn Frey with the one '80s hit: "The Heat Is On"

    What's happened to Realtime Trains? Nothing has been reported since 1700....it says it's receiving 'limited Realtime data'

    1. CovDriver

      CovDriver

      It often goes on a go slow or stops reporting it's usually back up and running after a few hours

      Ok thanks, just that I totally rely on it, so if it goes down I'm screwed, and I was gonna go out tonight...but oh well...

      I think everyone's got some form of cold now, but I've never tried a curry as a remedy Jaz! May do that tomorrow....

  23. Jack374

    Anyone else who has an NCE Powercab received a new IC socket to upgrade it?

  24. Jack374

    Is wondering whether the Royal Train appears on Real Time Trains?

    1. Metr0Land

      Metr0Land

      No and it doesn't appear on Trust or anything else that feeds RTT either. They have clever ways of making it disappear so that only those who need to know, do so.

    2. Jack374

      Jack374

      Ok, would be nice to have seen it but oh well...
