I notice this is being offered with the option of factory fitted DCC sound, is this a first for Heljan as I don't recall it ever being available in the past, at least not in O gauge?

Would you believe it! Now found Trebudoc in the October 2013 issue of Railway Modeller!

I travelled from Stowmarket to Bury St Edmunds the other day and noticed that Anglia turquoise was evident at both Elmswell and Thurston.

Rather O/T but probably no more so than all this talk of breakfasts! In anticipation of a house move I've been doing a bit of de-cluttering some of which involves going through some old model railway magazines to decide which articles I want to keep and I've just found the November 2013 edition of Model Rail that features Glen Roy by a chap called Andy Peters. Talk about a blast from the past!

Possibly, but the programme wasn't just about Simon and Montana, I thought some of the young designers came across very well.

Thanks for your reply. I did wonder if it could be something to do with the fact that originally it was only the brake coaches that were fitted with brakes. My initial thinking was around cooling in that spoked wheels would cool quicker if the brakes overheated but I then thought with the speeds involved and the materials that the brakes were made of back then would they really get that hot? Your explanation seems far more plausible.

I've just noticed that the brake coaches have spoked wheels whilst other coaches have solid wheels, does anyone know the reason for this? Thanks.

Wow, with this and the Hornby B17 is turning into quite a year for Great Eastern fans.

If that picture had been posted later on this year I would imagine there would be quite a bit of discussion around if that Pacer was the Realtrack or EFE version!

I have a copy of the October 2018 edition of Railway Modeller which features an article by Chris Ford where he explains how he went about creating this layout. Coincidentally the same issue features Euxton Junction as Railway of the Month which is also in the latest edition of BRM.

Have you checked the YouChoos website as there is a guide on there. https://www.youchoos.co.uk/Index-Resource.php?L1=Guides&Item=OCL31

Faiveley or Brecknell-Willis?

OK, thanks.

Does this mean that Ticket Factory issue paper tickets as opposed to sending out electronic ones? Thanks.

I know what you mean, it's about time we had a DCC function to pop up a driver facing the direction of travel and not just to change the lights. Maybe one day.
