Thanks for the reply ,,,,,mjb

Hi Dublo,,and welcome to the forum ,,,your layout is looking good and I shall be keeping an eye on its progress so keep up the posts ,,,but could I ask you a couple of things ,,where abouts in the uk / world are you and what size is your layout ,,,,mjb

Thank you flashbang and bufferstop, good advice on both accounts. I’m certainly not going to import anything from abroad and privet won’t now bid on the one on eBay. I think it’s probably best to get as new as you can for the Indy it can afford and as I said before I think £150 is my limit for now....

Hi ,,,,I have the MRC prodigy advance2 ,,,,,,bought off eBay 2nd hand a couple of months ago for £165 ,,,,,and would say it is an excellent CONTROLER ,,,prior to that I had the NCE powercab ,again an excellent CONTROLER ,you can get the powercab new for. @ £155 from coastal dcc ,,either one of these...

Yes it is going mad ,,,,,highly desired loco I know but surely not that highly desired ,,,just in the last 7 days a HORNBY live steam ,,Papyrus,,,sold on ebay for £2600,,,,yes ,,two thousand six hundred pounds ,,

Some time ago I saw this sort of joke on the net ,,,,,,, husband says to his wife ,,when I die I want you to promise that you will bury me with all my money ,he tells her that he earned it so it all should go with him ,so she agrees,,,,the day comes and at his funeral she puts a box in with him befo...

Hi George ,,,is there not anything American that would be suitable ,,probably a lot cheaper as well ,,,@ $ 1.00 a bag ,,,,the price they have reached for HORNBY and Bachmann it will soon be cheaper to turn your own

Hi. Am new here and seeking help/guidance 're NCE Power Can. Yesterday for no 'obvious' reason my power can 'froze' , the only thing that functions is the thumbwheel. All other buttons fail to respond to touch. Hi Andy ,,,,I had this happen a few times on my powercab ,,,usually I just switched off ...

You cannot use a Gaugemaster Combi power supply to feed a PowerCab! GM Combi has an input of 18volt AC . NCE PowerCab requires an input of 12 to 15 volt DC at ideally not greater than 2.0Amp. Inputting AC (Alternating current) to the PowerCab wont do it any good at all and it will never work! The P...

Hi flashbang,,,,,the AC/DC stuff ,I didn't realise at the time ,,,however,I've now bought a MRC prodigy advance 2 ,,,,I may look into a PSU suitable for the powercab and if it works then great ,if not ,I'll put it away in its box and forget about it ,,,,,
