With you lads on that score.... :angry: If only there was utterly odourless glue, solder and paint around, at least I could work on models indoors even if the layout is up the shed.... and yes, I know acrylic paints are not supposed to smell, but according to my SWMBO, who has a highly developed sense of smell (and asthma), they "stink"..!!
Some of us have to suffer for our hobby!!
Ruston; you're not the only one with DCC troubles; I've recently took the plunge with an NCE Powercab, as I was recently given some US HO scale locos, 3 of which have DCC Chips... so far they aren't working at all, and I haven't a clue why, yet....
