Chaps just received my large logo Class 37 409 really impressed fantastic. Just a question I am not a great fan of grey roofs and wondered if anyone knows what the exact BR Blue colour is that Accurascale have used, as I am thinking of respraying the grey roof so it is blue, think BR missed a trick here. Otherwise excellent. Just noticed the sound is fairly quiet although it is excellent can this be turned up?, many thanks Chris

Great looking models very impressive, almost tempted to swap my Blue and Grey for the Green as I particularly like the additional painting of the springs, axle box and door footplates. Shame this is only available on the green coach. Otherwise excellent ... well done chaps. Best, Chris

Many thanks Ben much appreciated and thank you for all the hard work your team have put into this, I absolutely agree par-paid should be despatched first and thank you for the update. Best Wishes Chris

Well done to Revolution Trains for bringing this to Market given the challenges of importing and supply issues, Caroline looks superb..! Just a quick question are the pipes and fittings already fitted to the Coach at both ends? Judging from the comments I understand these models are DCC ready not DCC Fitted, can they be DCC Sound fitted for the horn? Look forward to receiving mine from TMC. Thank you again, all the best. Many thanks, Chris

Thanks John changed mine to Kaydee lomg couplings but they are still derailing the hrights between each coupling is different for some reaosn. No problem with any other wagon. Best Chris

Thanks Cav I have managed to reduce the amount of derailing this afternoon by simply lubricating the pivot points this seems to have helped as the pivot points are too tight even for my large radii curves. Also can you supply 6 x NEP/NEM sockets please, many thanks Best Chris

Thanks Cav but how do I stop them from derailing even on straight track and large radii bends? these look excellent models but I cant understand why so many of them derail. Best Wishes Chris

Also having the same issue here with the 18 MGR wagons I purchased from Trains4U, the wagons look great but are constantly derailing, I have tried to loosen the fitting but they still keep on derailing on large radii curves and straight track. Can some kind sole please give me an idiots guide as to how to solve this problem. I am even thinking of changing the couplings over to Kadee couplings just not sure which length to go for and will this solve the problem? Greatly appreciate any help. Many thanks Chris

So we are looking at April / May 2023? Best Chris

Many thanks Guys, I am now going to donate this superb layout and some of the trains to a Children's charity, maybe a Hospice , a Childrens Home or to a family where the Child is seriously unwell who would enjoy a lovely N Gauge Layout. I have had so much fun with this layout it would be wonderful if we could someone who would get as much pleasure as I have done in this wonderful hobby of ours. If anybody has any ideas that would be much appreciated. Best Wishes to everyone, Chris

Many thanks Rich, Woodenhead great advice many thanks Best Chris

A belated happy new year to everyone. My apologies in advance for possibly posting this in the incorrect forum. I am reluctantly thinking of selling my Superb modern image DCC Model Railway layout "NewCastle" with a curved platform canopy, four track layout with a Motive power depot and a high level town and full fiddle yard. Also want to sell my entire N Gauge Stock, partly because I am moving but also because I am moving back to OO Gauge. Just wondering where the best place to sell this, as I want to avoid eBay. Best Wishes and many thanks, Chris

Brilliant many thanks much appreciated. Best, Chris

I apologise for asking this question in advance, I am relatively new to N Gauge so need some much needed help and guidance .. I would like to purchase the best quality N Gauge Class 66 DCC Sound that can haul a large rake of container wagons, I am just wondering if anyone can recommend which manufacturer I should seriously consider. Many thanks and Best Wishes, Chris

Excellent thanks Mike looking forward to placing an order for a full rake with lighting Best, Chris

Fantastic news I will be definitey purchasing a full rake of these I wonder when these will be available to purchase. Many thanks, Chris

Many thanks Gents this has been a really interesting debate and I have duly noted that there is a class 44 on ebay currently selling. All the best, Chris

Many thanks Gents much appreciated, I did a google search and saw the ridiculous prices for previous models as mentioned. I dont understand why the manufacturers make the same models, rather doing soemthing unique like Revolution or Kato. All the best, Chris

Brilliant thank you very much Mike, Steam boy much appreciated. Best, Chris

Just wondering if Kato are planning on releasing the Class 800 in other liveries apart from LNER and GWR? Also do the internal lights have stay alive capacitors fitted? Many thanks Chris

Has Farish ever produced a class 45? Many thanks, Chris

Thanks just wondered if there is anybody who is in North Birmingham who is able to do some basic maintenance on my N Gauge layout such as cleaning the track check the locos that sort of thing and getting it running properly. Not used it for 18 months. All the best and thank you. Best Chris

Just wondering if anybody knows of anyone who can help me with my N Gauge layout regarding getting the layout to run properly and look at my locos? Unfortunately being a key worker no time to enjoy this marvellous hobby. I am based in North Birmingham. All the best and thank you. Best Chris

Many thanks everyone this has been really useful advice so thank you. Best, Chris
