    Those pictures were taken here (give take a few meters): Google maps link If one wanted to split hairs, I'd say that was in Mardly Hill, but its only a few meters south of Woolmer Green.

    No, but the Highland Sleeper rescuing the Lowland Sleeper on Shap would be a sight to behold

    Well these do look the mutts nuts! I am curious though. Do you think these couplings will hold a 16 coach train going up a gradient? I guess if they can't, we can fall back on tension locks. Cheers, Marcus

    Hi Mick, What is the process for getting parts etched up, please? (Eventually) I will be needing to get steps/handrails and meshes made up for a project and I'd like to know how you go about it. Cheers, Marcus

    Sir, you need to start running model railtours :-) #Rule1
  6. Marcus-Jay
    I doubt you'll need to keep your ears peeled... I suspect the Detlic will be loud enough to be measured seismically

    Might have missed where you were getting them from... .But I can not reccomend highly enough David's Dingo mounts: http://www.dingoservo.co.uk/ The webpage (as of 08:20 4-4-20) states he is still open. I belive he posts parcels as part of his daily excercise.

    It will come as no surprise to all but, regrettably, we have had to cancel this years Interactive Modellers Workshop. We plan to be back in 2021.

    So true, the economic impact of this will still be echoing at Christmas I reckon :-( Marcus

    Hi David, First thing. Back up your work. Then check its backed up. Try running AnyRail as an administrator - right click on the AnyRail icon and the option should be in the list. This will give the application a few extra permissions to write files. Uninstall AnyRail - Go find the email with the licence and registration details, you'll need that later. Go to the start menu and type uninstall - you should see and option for 'add or remove programs'. Select this and use it to remove AnyRail from your machine. This should get rid of anything to do with the AnyRail aplicaiton on the computer drive. Feel free, if you are comfortable, to check "C:\Program Files (x86)" for an AnyRail folder and delete it. Then reinstall the program. AnyRail is currently on Version 6.2xxx. See if that helps.

    Ahh, no. The date is on a Sunday as a trial to see if how this affects attendance. The IMW is not, per se, an exhibition of layouts but more of a day where modellers can expand their skills and learn how other people do things. Whilst there are a number of similar events clashing with them is unlikely.
  12. Marcus-Jay
    Another what where?
  13. Marcus-Jay
    Just to bump this topic and get a question in. Does anyone have images of the VMS style signal with calling on or shunt signals on the pole?
  14. Marcus-Jay
    Yup, Sunday.

    It's an APT

    until
    Due to the Coronavirus situation the 2020 event has been cancelled - we hope to be back in 2021. With the world of railway modelling expanding every day the potential skills involved are growing all the time. The Chiltern Model Railway Association’s Interactive Modellers' Workshop is here to help. We have assembled a group of experts in one place to advise and help you. Ever wondered how they manage to fit speakers in such a small space? How to solder wires to the track? What skills 3D printing involves? Or even how one crafts scenery together? We are bringing together experts on Kit Construction, Electronics, Baseboard construction, Scenic design, as well as insurance, valuation and traders. We can help with the answers to these, and many other, questions. With a small number of layouts and trade stands it is a relaxed atmosphere in which you can sit down and have one to one conversation and, hopefully, solve some problems and learn some new skills.

    Dear All, I'd just like to publicise the Chiltern Model Railway Association's Interactive Modellers Workshop later on this year: With an accompanying IMW Facebook Event There will be a number of experts attending (subject to availability) and there will be a wide range of topics covered both in tabletop demos and group talks. Please let me know if there are any general subjects you might be interested in, as there is always room for more.

    ECML.. Tick :-)
  19. Marcus-Jay
    But as a 14 vehicle set, they are mighty impressive :-) And at a bit over 12ft - long ! This is a test run before a visit to the paint shop.

    Apologies, I was thinking of the OO version, I stand corrected re the N gauge
  21. Marcus-Jay
    6 trains on each side. So you would only need to move one side to get to the bottom, and both sides move independently.
  22. Marcus-Jay
    You understand incorrectly! It is a transport frame for our units, so that we can set them up at exhibitions. It was designed by myself for this purpose. The Nelevators will be free standing units as part of Whitedown Junction when it goes out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_tKx46cTnw
  23. Marcus-Jay
    They certainly do exist. Here is one we have had for a couple of years. The Aluminium sub frame is something built to aid with transportation of the unit and not a standard Nelevator part.
  24. Marcus-Jay
    Well done chaps. Now if only it hadn't been delivered at a time when the entire family wants me to run them around Xmas shopping. Spare time - denied

    Whatever you do, if you want a reliable solution, do not use a WiFi camera at an exhibition. Something wired will work, wireless dips in and out. A search on Amazon for 2ch CCTV produces a number of viable options. Tho you might want something with more channels and addable camera, sadly nowadays it is often worth having an extra pair of eyes on the front of the layout.
