  1. The golden vallies railways 'janus' locomotive has a coreless motor.
  2. A while ago I bought a Bachmann pca wagon and now I want to but the Hornby vee wagon. Is there a significant height difference as I've heard there is
  3. Does anyone know where I would be able to get this product. Ive seen a couple of videos on YouTube but can't seem to find them Ive had a look on eBay. Also are they exclusive to the USA.
  4. Personally I don't tend to bother with a cork underlay as it loses all of its sound dampening capabilities once ballasted.
  5. I've used mdf for all of my layouts. And, as long as it has propper supports is quite good.
  6. Check that the rails nearest the deadzone are clean I've found that my sentinel stalls if the track around that area is dirty.
  7. As the title describes where would I be able to purchase these from.
  8. Thanks I only asked as I've seen what looked like steam heating pipes. But they could have been electrical pipes.
  9. As the title says would they as I have a spare one and really want to fit it to my sentinel. I've already fitted a vacuum. Brake as I know they were fitted with them at some point in their lives.
  10. Trying to fit white metal vacuum pipes. I did this today and fitted the one I wanted to fit perfectly but then I decided to paint one up ready for my class 37. I mustve been painting too hard as it snapped. Oh well at least I've still got the steam heating pipes.
  11. What kadees couplers should I use for shunter locomotives. I have a sentinel (diesel) and am getting a class 08 would I be fine to use No.17,18,19. Or not.
  12. After hearing about how good these models are I had a look and they are good but at £90 odd each they're awfully expensive for plastic kits.
  13. Does anyone know if Hornby are going to make a sentinel 0-6-0. From what I've seen it looks like it would only need a new chassis as the body is the same.
  14. Had any one had any experience with an arduino as a dcc controller. I've seen a few videos about it. But none seem to say how to make it or explain whether it would be practical or not.
  15. I wasn't aware that you could use arduinos for dc. Sou d's interesting though

  17. Looking good. Can't wait to see it come to fruition .
  18. Something that really annoys me is people that constantly ask me why I do the hobby then to say it's boring anyway.
  19. I usually buy ones that I like. Even if they don't exactly fit in with my era.
  20. Anything new on the layout. Looking great tho.
