Just found this thread, excellent stuff. Has anyone put together a 377/378 in N? Was it an easy build/ what chassis/motor did you use. Ben

Quite surprised that there is a second model entering the market, seems to have motorised pantographs, awfully fine detailing and their take on a stay alive unit? a combo of accurascale and djm will cover all the numbers I would eventually like anyways...

Good fleet there, all looks great, I must get my hands on an s102... keep it up, ben

haha yeah it has its ups and downs, but the more work I do now the more monies I will have for the hobby in theory. Back to the topic, is it worth buying a rake of IDA's? its tough deciding between Bachmann multifrets and these for the next container rake. Ben

Both looks good, just depends what layout gives you more play value and interaction with the layout itself, nice to see the progress, looks great. Ben

Keen to see where this leads ben

Cheers both, I will get out the Vernier caliper when I get a break from a levels ben

Hey Matt, do I need a B2B gauge sorta thing to fix this issue or is there other ways. Ben

Quick Question, how do your megafrets run now you have made all the mods to them?

The same sort of issues plague my megafret rake, anyone found a solution to the issue on either wagon? Ben

Evening James, Did you ever finish the transfesa/ford train, was after more details as I may have a stab at it myself... Ben.

looks great, what day is the epsom show, I will pop down after work...

Ooooh Epsom, cant wait to have troutons within 20 mins of me...

Well you built it so you can include what you want. Regarding test trains I have seen smaller rakes, now I'm not to sure but I think some trains run with one or two coaches on calibration runs, not entirely sure though. A nice NR 08 would suit btw! Ben

Fully recommend a Dapol 68 or Bachmann 47...I was wondering if because it is a conjoined DRS and NR owned area, maybe use the top most siding as something more for a virtual quarry or small engineers yard to add interest, allows host of wagons and locos, have you already though of this or do you have other scenic planned here?
