  1. The thought of 4 days off was very inspiring at first, but it's causing me to use my debit card on model trains more than ever :rolleyes:

      Trying to sort something via trading standards, but seems theres not a lot I can do. Currently taking legal advice which is adding to costs. I have cancelled all preorders except those which i've paid fully, but I think a long spell of no purchasing is now on the cards, whilst I think about what to do with the collection. I may look at setting something up in the loft at some point.

  4. Can anyone remember the kit maker who supplies in 4mm, most varients of MK2 coach?

      If it's DCC, it only needs two wires, but no-one has decreed how long those need to be. You need expert advice... could be arranged at £140/ hour .. in line with latest loco pricing inflation.
