Morning all just swapped to dc c I've put 8 pin hatton s chip into a Bachmann class 37 and can not get it to work I've got a section of track and wired as main track the lights are on but no movement of train the red button works and when chip is taken out the train buzzes which YouTube tells me that there's all should be ok I've tried to reprogram chip any one what I've done wrong!!!!

morning all after many months of following many blogs and threads on rm web its time i dipped my toe into the water!! my last layout about 15 years ago was american switching one about 15 foot by 2 foot based in a downtown city on santa fe rails at the time it was the stranded of the locos and wagons that lead me to the states.what a turn round in British out line models their got fly wheels!!! and as for the wagons its like chalk and cheese i have still got all my american models some of which are over 15 years old and their still run their better then me!!! after many bits of paper and then any rail i think ive got a plan based around a quarry with buildings,hoppers,crushers etc i am a fan of wagons rather than coaches and passengers.when i figure out how to post plans and photos there will appear i hope any in put to track plans or other layout around quaary will be welcome with open arms martin
