  1. According to the thread discussing it, it is to be a wagon.
  2. https://www.facebook.com/krmodels.uk
  3. There goes my £300 WFP top up from HMG, but I will appreciate the warm glow it will give me when watching and hearing it running.
  4. Is this referring to cables that have the screen connected at one end only so there is no earth loop between equipment?
  5. I would like to see some balanced bracket two-doll signals to act as island platform starters.
  6. A friend plugged his Russ Andrews SUPERKORD-100™ SD-II into his electric kettle and the water boiled quicker and quieter than before, the steam emanated from the spout with a fine transparency and the water poured smoothly into the cup on to a tea bag resulting in a rich inky blackness filled with sparkling overtones which increased the fragrance of the Netto™ tea and teased the taste buds into thinking we were drinking Assam.
  7. If it is the quality of the cables that are the weak link in the system, then how good must the 'music centre' have been with all the electronics on the one board and built-in speakers requiring no cable links.
  8. I used a 6B graphite stick on my track a few years ago and have never had to clean it since, maybe just needing the odd touch up with the stick in places. The only odd thing I have and haven't thoroughly investigated it as it doesn't seem to have any ill effect, is that I noticed I have a high resistance reading across the rails. With no stock on the track I get a reading between the rails of 13kΩ. The layout is wired in two sections so I split the bus and get 35kΩ on the terminus and 20kΩ on the depot. I have put this down to graphite bridging insulated joiners around the frogs but as I said, whatever the cause, it is having no ill effect on the running performance. I was wondering if other users of graphite get this.
  9. It looks like this one... https://www.hattons.co.uk/62930/esu_54_400_loksound_v4_8_pin_sound_decoder/stockdetail
  10. Isn't it that same one as what's already been posted further up by mkrob and quoted in other posts, even by yourself?
  11. Yes, but I'm on a warning for posting similar content, I was trying to show you didn't need a subscription to view it.
  12. I recently bought a new portable radio, it has on the back 'BUILT IN ANTENNA', I don't even know where that is.
  13. I am not a subscriber to Hornby Magazine or Keymodelworld, yet I have just read the page and watched the video on youtube.
  14. I am not a Hornby Magazine or Keymodelworld subscriber and the page shows different for me. I can read the full article from clicking on the above link.
  15. I remember reading in a Bachmann interview over price increases they were talking about the extra costs of small details and an example was given of sprung buffers. They said it costs about £2 to add them at the factory in China which then translated to a £15 increase in Rrp at the retailer in the Uk. Where does the extra cost come from? Why isn't a £150 model with static buffers £152 with sprung buffers.
  16. The website has been amended and the LMS Crimson Lake is now MR.
  17. This is one I would have liked....
  18. I saw it for £3.50 at the Wigan show last weekend.
