Someone told me that they were in there today and were told that the shop will be closing in a few months. Wether or not its the whole chain or just the Worcester branch I dont know but it might be worth keeping an ear to the ground just in case the stock gets sold off cheap :mrgreen: If it is just ...

Well,two weeks later and the Bachmann site office I had won on ebay never turned up. I did get a refund from the seller but it has been very irritating as I still need that building :( Likewise the engine shed has also proved to be quite elusive so I haven't sone much more on this,ballasted the bott...

You will find that in sectional track systems like Hornby or Peco the layouts rarely "line up" correctly if they are more than a very basic oval.
It is excepted that there is enough "give" in the track to get it together leaving a bit of a gap in some track joins here and there.

Well,I won the Bachmann Site office I was after on ebay,you dont want to know how much I paid though :shock: Still,its only money. Just need to get that dam engine shed at some point as well,there is one on ebay but dont to get carried away and end up spending too much on that as well :D Might actua...

Apologies for bringing up an old thread but its up for sale again by, presumably, it's 3rd owner: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/N-Gauge-train-track-layout-fixed-Board-2-trains-accessorys-/350526655945?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item519d044dc9#ht_956wt_1344 I wish someone would finish it! I sa...

I have used solid core stuff as well,works well.
The good thing is if you buy 1 metre of 1mm twin and earth cable you get 3 metres usable lenght

Just spent some of my Christmas money on this resin product and can only say WOW - what a beauty! It surely has to be a must for anyone modelling a modern locomotive stabling/repair facility. The detailing is superb and the weight of the model alone means that it seems to sit in rather than on my l...

Nah,not in this instance
Its a display/diorama thats all,if it goes to plan.
When I am finished it will get sold and then maybe onto something a bit bigger but not too big.

Some progress although only taken with a naff camera phone so not as good as usual. http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/5587/20120107164038.jpg http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/8420/20120107164056.jpg http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/6272/20120107164109.jpg Some greenery has appeared with some bush...

G'Day Gents A nice 3D bit of art there, I wouldn't use to much color (green) except weeds, and maybe a couple of scrawny 6 to 8 feet high Silver Birch trees, they are always the first tree to grow in railway yards, blackberries, are another. I used to work into the big marshaling yards around North...

More work done :mrgreen: The security fencing was a total nightmare to assemble and I broke a couple of bits but it wasn't a total disaster. I have tried to make this layout look dirty and grubby and not as clean as my previous attempts. I have laid the other two short bits of track,the one has some...

PM sent,let me know if you want anymore :wink: Thank you I think i will give the first one a go :D All I would say is try and take out some of the points if you can,purely from the expense point of view although dont compromise the ability of trains to move from the outer to inner loop easily witho...

There was a Lima class 86 that I had when I was about 12 :shock: that had a working catenary,it was also sprung loaded. It had a switch on the roof that you could switch between rail pick-up as normal or when you threw the switch you would fit the +ve feed to the overhead wire (although no-one made ...
