Hello all, I am quite new to the hobby and I only just started looking at Accurascale, your diesel locos certainly sparked interest for me! Also after seeing the recent SNG action, I realized there really is no modern MK1 options available in the market, perhaps your team could tap into that? That'd be awesome!

Question, is there a shortage of power banks in general?

 

I'm in Australia and everywhere is out of stock.  I'm not sure they ever even got them in.

I'm wondering if it's a broader issue or just that stupid Australian wholesaler again.

I had trouble finding stay-alive back in Jan, I end up finding some after a tip from a Facebook user. I do think the stay-alive are too big to fit in those loco which really needed them, not even my latest P2 Prince of Wales had enough place to fit them; I think Hornby could make smaller stay-alive with less capacity, the current ones keep the loco powered when idle with sound for at least 25 seconds, so cutting the capacity could allow for smaller size and easier fit.

Even one that should have six cars?

Perhaps they will have some sort of expansion pack for the remaining cars?

Looks like a must get for me, at £150 it's a real treat to have a four car emu.

Thank you guys, amazing as always. I was going to try hattons but looks like Zimo is the way to go. I had a brief look on eBay Germany and they are selling it at 20 Euros, sounds like a good deal!

I am looking at converting my layout to dcc, which budget decoder is good? I've searched a bit and I came up with these:

Dcc Concepts Zen

Hattons

Hornby R8249

Gaugemaster

Thank you!

Just got the Paddington Bear Class 800, happy to say that there are no running problems on my track with some gradient changes, 2nd radius maximum.
