I'm running on DC, so I don't have a constant power feed from the track It actually works for DC or DCC. :) The capacitor acts like a stay alive unit, but instead of power to keep a motor of a loco moving, it releases the power back into the circuit to light the coach when there is no track power. ...

You can make lighting rigs for your coaches for even cheaper if you buy the componants and build it yourself! :idea: https://www.newrailwaymodellers.co.uk/Forums/download/file.php?id=24318 https://www.newrailwaymodellers.co.uk/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=50754&hilit=lighting+coach Easy enough...

What I like about your layout OldBandit is that you can take a train from one siding round the layout straight into another siding.

I'm still slowly continuing with my Inn, I am now upto the 2nd floor with the lights for the ground floor glued to the underside of the upper floor. I've added internal walls upstairs so the different room lights don't bleed into each other. I've decided not to add any extra lights to the room with ...

Thanks for the info.

Typical! :roll: I started adding the adjustable feet to my layout legs today and found that I'm 8 short. :oops: Luckily a quick look through my receipts and I found where I bought them from so have ordered what I need to complete them.

A couple of ideas. Have a look at model shops for the area your modelling and see if they have commissioned any PO wagons. Try the limited edition commissioners like Burnham & District MRC (Sadly not producing wagons anymore but you may find something on thier website - https://www.burnhamanddmr...
