Probably looking at 2 coach trains with diesel on the front. Ive got Class 20, 24, 25, 08 37 and 47. Plus DMUs that can be used as well. Id like to maybe have a goods siding as well as i have a metcalfe goods shed to use

How possible is it to do a minories in 9f inc fiddleyard ? 00 Gauge.

The Bachmann ones a rebadged zimo, but at almost £40

Not showing as in stock on the website unless theyve come in and gone straight out. Im still on the fence but if i couldve got one before i head to butlins on the 19th i might have had a dabble.

Just paid my invoice for 37027. not long to go - knowing my luck it will come when im at butlins week b4 xmas lol.

If you want it before xmas id certainly avoid anything that isnt Special delivery if youre using rM. Over the strike days Tracked 48 and 2nd class parcels arent even being collected from post offices. You can imagine the backlog

Fairly sure my local, Trident Trains in Nantwich has a blue headcode box one in the cabinet

They did this before with the 33. They dug out an older tooling.

Apologies if ive missed a thread for this set. Can anyone whose got the set confirm if the loco has traction tyres or not. Also is the loco DCC ready? I wouldve assumed not except the did a DCC fitted Jinty in a train set previously.

Saw a running sample on jenny kirks facebook today and it looks really good.

For me id love an 08. Loads of liveries to pick from or for steamers a nice 14XX

Have done cheers :)

With that in mind i cancelled my class 37 order last month. If i wont have been reallocated is is possibloe to reinstate the order?

Picked mine up from Trident Trains this morning and Richard very kindly fitted the ( very small ) decoder for me.

Has anyone got there hands on one of these yet? Wondering how easy its going to be to fit a decoder?

is it factory sound fitted? If not have you got a decoder in the trailer car. Both cars need to go on the program track at same time when renumbering them

Yeah that deffo dosent sound right id perhaps return it for replacement

The club magazine arrived today and it mentions what the next train sets are going to be. An HST set and a british pullman set. They say the pullman set will be an A4 William Whitelaw and 3 lit pullmans. Seems an odd choice to use the same A4 as they are in the first set. Also mentions that DCC sound fitted sets will also soon be coming.

Couple of bargains ive had this morning... Dapol Flying Bananas @ £89.50 at Rails - several liveries Bachmann Class 121 DMU @ £99.99 inn NSE at Kernow

Yes its a white one, this is the set i was olooking at OBB Rh1099 Mixed Traffic Starter Set V (DCC-Fitted)-Roco-31033 | Gaugemaster (gaugemasterretail.com)

Currently i have a prodigy dcc02 advance. Im looking to get into 009 / HOe. Ive seen a set i like the look of from Roco. Loco + 3 coaches + Z21 dcc system and a load of track which is a larger radius than the peco track. Is the Z21 system any good with ther multimaus? Im happy enough with my prodigy so could just sell the Z21 to recoup some of the funds

Fairly surwe my Bachmann 101 only has a single decoder in the motor car

Doh, it really did sound poorly so in that case it was accurate

I have to say i was dissapointed with the class 20 jamie goodman soundfile i had from richard at roads and rails and returned it to be reblown to a different sound file. I felt the startup was way to long and instead of having to use a function key to disable it it should be the other way round, enable if you want to sit there for what felt like forever. I felt the actual engine sounds, espcially as the loco moved off was poor. There was no active brake which was dissapointing also and finally the horns were weak and 'hissy' As for accurascale, having heard the 37 sound they are doing then that really is good i cant wait for mine

So to update i did build the roundy roundy. All well and good but only one loop as i didnt really want first radius. But im finding i get bored easily so looking at the plan in the OP im limited in train length to 2 coaches plus loco for passenger trains. So come up with this, similar to what people were suggesting in the thread, lets me run 3 coach trains and has more operational interest. I'll use metcalfe retaining walls as a way of splitting the fiddle yard from the rest of the layout. Hopefully should be able to reach ok. https://ibb.co/7YHSWy0
