New Railway Modellers Forums

We can't all be good at everything, is their something you enjoy doing? Is their one thing that gives you satisfaction more than usual? Are you being too hard on yourself? I've worked out that my fingers will never match up to my imagination, so I'll use every tool known to man.and then invent my o...

anyone got any tips on how I can remain interested in this hobby? I've tried; - simplifying plans (so that there is less of, how on earth am i going to build all this?!) - taking a break (when burnt out) - not working on it too much (to avoid/limit future burnout) - buying a new loco (doesn't work, ...

Hello forum, long time no update, took a bit of a break from model railways, as once again I just lost all my motivation for the hobby however it has now returned and here are some layout updates! I became a bit frustrated with the length of trains I could fit in my station, and I was also finding t...

It's very different offering a commercial service, as opposed to a hobby. The organisation of what is on offer, timescale, price, and dealing with the customers is not a hobby. And then there is dealing with the taxman if you decide to go and make a living from it. That's like being dragged around ...

that would be the ideal scenario tbh, I'd like to start earning money doing things I enjoy, and there aren't that many things I enjoy more than this hobby

looking to start taking commissions for loco weather and building building, if you're interested in this please send me a message?

Very Nice indeed Thank you! More Super work there Michaela. Marklin ? Are you really going continental ??

I'm having a bizarre issue where the rear light headlights of a loco are always on regardless of direction, is there a CV somewhere I've activated by accident to cause this?

... if I said whats a good 00 loco to buy I could definitely name a few that I think everyone should have (bachmann D11 jumps straight to mind)... I very nearly succumbed to a Brawa KPEV S9 Atlantic if that's any help, and there's a good chance that a model of a UP FEF 4-8-4 might one day be acquir...
