I suspect there's no display because the only stuff they have is the pre-production ones we are seeing at shows! Re the track, could it just be that they are holding off releasing it until they have something to run on it? That may be a pain for those who want it for other reasons but for those of us who have ordered a set it makes no odds when we actually get the track and there's not much point if we have it and nothing to run on it... Of course there's always Peco or Tillig if you're desperate...

Hitachi trains grounded
Hobby replied to great central's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Yes, but that is just the length of time they've been around, modern stock is used far more intensively and clocks up far higher mileages than HSTs and the diesels. They are also expected to work much harder whilst out there than the older stuff was as well. Gawd knows how many miles the Voyagers have clocked up in the twenty years we've been using them, we did used to keep an eye on the Km counter on TMS but CZ kept zero-ing them so we don't know! -
Did you ask them?! ;)
-
The two new ones given game time by Pep last week both are!
-
The trouble with that is that one driver could deliberately go into the corner too fast knowing that if they are ahead they'd "get the decision" which is just as unfair. Best leave it to the stewards.
-
Hopefully to continue like that next season!

If that's Peco code "55" all that would do is show the "foot" of the rail, wouldn't it? You wouldn't get an open space if that's what you were looking for?

old newbie - TT120: Code and rolling stock compatibility question
Hobby replied to Tonyo262's topic in 2.5mm Scale - TT:120
People have tested modern TT (Tillig, etc.,) on Peco and it runs OK, as Hornby are supposedly using the same standards there's shouldn't be any issues. -
That's it for now, I have to do the fettling for the local West Mids NG group meet on the 19th...

Got the magazine this morning, so now have the lot! Just the trains themselves to come!

Just listen to yourselves, blowing an innocent comment out of all proportion.
-
Sorry Andy, but it's still humour, I could easily have said the same thing quoting exactly the same scenario and I expect many would agree with me. If he'd have said "partner" then I expect no one would have said anything, though, I suppose. To call it sexist, though, is making a mountain out of a molehill, it was said in jest with no intention to offend. Trust social media to blow things out of all proportion.
-
A bit OTT for that comment, I'd suggest, mountain out of molehill springs to mind... I'll leave it at that, seems no-one has a sense of humour these days.
-
And it's rather said that something said/written in jest is taken so seriously by someone else... Sign of the times, sadly, that one can't say anything these days without someone reading far more into something and taking "offence"... 🙄

Plenty of 009 kits used chassis where the original body held the motor in, they were either designed to use a cut back body or the 009 body was designed to hold the motor in just like the original N body. Just takes some planning.
-
What's the wheelbase and bogie centres? I'm wondering about a Class 25.
-
Just thinking out loud, but would the old BTTB T435 chassis work? I haven't got one to measure, but someone might have.
-
Tomorrow?! Just go for it today! I've added an 08 and wagons to my pre order so well committed now!
-
TBH I am waiting until I get the set, the proposed layout will feature Peco out front and Hornby for the curves (the set track ones) at either end and fiddle yard. I suppose I could get some Peco and start the station but I'm still finishing Mittenburg so it wouldn't be straight away. Like everything else I will await the track, there's no rush, and so far Hornby's site has worked well enough, though I've only done a pre-order so far.

Not surprising.

Blimey, don't those couplings look big! 🤣

It (and it's 00 brother) was good enough for most of us in it's day!
