Re: Bachmann 'onboard' factory fitted decoders

All mine are removable, that said they are all sound models. Bachmann usually include the blanking plate as an accessory.

Re: North Walsham - Underway

Update photo - adding the storage sidings at the back has greatly increased my ability to move different trains in and out of operation.

Lighting Buildings

Thinking about lights for my buildings either Skaledale or a led solution. Not keen to add the load to the accessory slot on my elite. I have a GuageMaster M1 Transformer spare it used to power my points before RailMaster, it provides 16v AC, can this be used.

Thx Dave

Re: Surprisingly good/bad

Good - Bachmann 32-377DS CLASS 37/4 37417 'HIGHLAND REGION' BR BLUE L/LOGO(DCC SOUND) runs like a dream great sound.

Bad - Bachman 4-6-0 Butler Henderson NRM Limited Edition - front boggie is sloppy and derails too easily

Re: North Walsham - Underway

Hi Keith

Need to start on ballasting as I have been very reluctant due to the increased running noise it creates. Have some more terrain to add so it's not quiet as flat and then make a start with some scenic scatter.

That should keep me busy for a while, just need to stop playing trains :D
