    Be good to see the new track plan. I couldnt tell it was code 100 hence why i asked. Atleast with code 100 you shouldnt get many problems with running. I find code 75 looks good but even some of the new locos have problems running when its ballasted gets abot lumpy when ther is nothing in the way. But your modelling is fantastic. Regards Scott

    HI Got to say your layout looks fantastic Do you have a track plan of your layout? What code rail do you use and also you dcc or dc? Regards Scott

    Cant make mind up if i should take out Cobalt point motors and put Peco there instead, maybe that will correct my point problem?

    I am so fed up and stressed. My points on the layout dont work. I am very close to ripping the whole thing up. Really fed up at the moment :(

      its a pain the loco will go over it fine come back fine but wont go over it a second time. And putting points back to manual. But its so annoying

      Im not any help, but i often get fed-up and think why the heck do i do this to myself...but when you find an answer or alternative you'll be much happier! at the end of the day its a hobby that we all enjoy, but we're bound to get annoyed from time to time...good luck mate ;)

      Try not to see it as one big job as it gets too much. Chop it down to smaller jobs and you'll sort it. Little victories etc..!

    Is really STRESSED because i cant change the accessory decoder addresses. 1-4 is fine but got anither 8 points to change. And the ESU manual is like reading hyroglifics (rant over) and help :)

  12. Earl Bathurst

      Find something you want to do that doesnt involve the government. Teachers commit suicide more often than most other professions.

      SWMBO says teaching is a calling, not a job. If you have to think about it too much then the massive cost of Uni may not be worth it.

      I know what you all mean I have always been interested in becoming a science teacher, its just the cost which puts me off. :(

      I can imagine the likes of Futers, Denny, Jenkinson, Beal, Ahern and many more asking something similar at your age. There's natural talent however old or young you are, there's also the talent that can only come with age and experience. Hang on in there - and keep the posts coming...

    Has lost my modelling mojo. :( Need something to spark my interest off.

      Bachmann's 2012 list in 1 month. Something on there may be the catalyst for a whole new layout.
