Well that's what`s it`s going to be ....when i have finished It`s an old dublo N2 , it`s amazing what Caustic soda and boiling water will do. The Chassis is built for 3 rail , but I will convert to 2 rail. I will Spray it in post war malachite green , and renumbered. Add 3 link coupling to the front , and smaller tension lock coupling to the rear ,wheels TBA , I may add detail as well

We are talking coloured light signals. in absolute block signalling on a terminus station , are the platform starters 2 or 3 aspect , and , if 2 aspect are they red/green or yellow / green or another combination . If 3 , what are the colours , a Minories type layout

Hi all , A bit of a dilemma , with 3 Triang EMU`s , to get to run on Code 75 track , I would need to re-wheel with ulrascale wheels. These . a bit expensive for three sets (almost £90) , the alternative is to use code 100 (peco) the track is a bit cheaper , with the cost of living etc , there only so much you can set aside on a pension

I have a few R156 power units and the trailing car ,apart from the power bogie , I took the old Triang bogies off , and replaced them with Bachmann Product Number: 36-005A.. I love these old but good Triang units , not as good as the new 2BIL etc , however would you hack a new 2BIL Daryll

Not sure if the Right section. I purchased the Metcalfe signal box kit ( PO 233 ) , I lost a window from the glazing sheet , I rang up Metcalfe and explained what a short sighted person I am , they said they would replace the whole glazing sheet , free of charge , not even postage , now that is what I call great service Daryll

Hope this is in the right section I am Having a dilemma I need a small signal box , but I am un decided between the wills kit (SS 48) , of the Metcalfe (P0 233 or the smaller P0 430 ). I am open to suggestions. Daryll

hi there 33C A friend of mine built a re magentizer , its 50/50 if you get the poles the right way round , as luck would have it , it was the right way round first time , a circuit diagram is available . https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Schematic-of-the-magnetizer-connected-with-the-coil-represented-by-Rmc-Lmc-The-elements_fig2_330520755 , the diagram is under copyright , so I only gave the link , looks a bit lethal if you ask me

an excellent day out , I took the wife to the model railway exhibition at Bognor Regis , we went on the Sunday . , Parking was easy , some first class layouts and numerous Trade stands , ( and some very tasty cake) , every thing from "G" to " N" scale (some layouts I had seen before , like the excellent SR based TT layout , third rail as well). the star of the show was the four track main line (Weaver hill ) wel, worth the drive ( yes its only 20 miles , but most of that was flooded)

Excellent service , they seem to have everything , at very competitive prices. I had a motor bogie from a Tri ang R156 in bits , however most of it ended up on the floor , where the carpet monster ate some of the bits. I needed S1038 (magnet screw) , S5014 (Spherical bearing), and two brushes (X67) not lost but worn out , so I shall replace those. Ordered on the 2nd Jan in the evening , dispatched on 4th Jan , thats what I call service Daryll

Which oil do you recommend for an old Triang motor ( from R 156 EMU) , I have some sewing machine oil , is that light enough oil

Just a simple train controller , forward / reverse PWM if possible , only for testing loco`s on a 1m length of peco code 100 , mains powered either separate transformer , or built in Cheers Daryll

why would you want to control a model railway with a computer , unless you like to watch trains go by
