  13. hi. has anyone else had a problem with shorting of thier class 50? ive got a 50004 st vincent that shorts on all my insufrog points. its dcc fitted and my points are fitted with Hornby dcc point clips. my other 50's, 50007, 50045, 2 repainted 50035's do not do it. its just this one loco and i cannot work it out. any help would be great. thank you.
  14. so many things going wrong on layout at min, and now derailing Hornby redland pga's are causing a real headache. seriously thinking of throwing in the towel all together.
