I ordered some stuff off them inbetween Xmas and new year and the delivery was still very quick.

I couldn't recommend their service highly enough!

Thanks for the heads up tt. I've just ordered a dapol class 66 in n gauge off tynedale trains and seems like a very good price. The bloke said he is opening a shop somewhere around Hexham in the summer. Just hope it happens soon cause miss town foot models. No problem. They seem to have some decent...

When I was doing some research online it found this website www.tynedaletrains.co.uk no relation but could be very handy if they open a shop in hexham

I think that one is mainly cars and buses. Might have to beg Michael of tow foot to come back!

Is there a demand for a model railway shop in and around Hexham in northumberland? Since town foot models closed the closest shop is 40 mins or so away. What does anybody think?

Thanks for all the excellent replies. I've reverse engineered a small circuit board from express models and so far so good in a hornby 67. It uses 6 resistors 4 diodes and 2 capacitors.
Next I'm going to add directional lighting to the 67 so it will have directional stay alive lights on dc.

I have just came into possession of a bachmann class 57 which runs great as would be expected. Only problem is the lights don't work which is a problem as I often run my layout in the dark. Has anybody seen this problem before? Or is it a return to bachmann job?

I picked up a capacitor from maplins for 58p so I'll put it inline between power and led resistor on my hornby 67 and see what results I get.

I'm currently run 00 on dc and seen express models do a stay alive kit so your loco lights stay on while a train is stopped for 2 mins or so. At around £20 it would cost me over £350 to do all my stock. Is there a way to wire in a capacitor inline from the power to the the led lights in loco to do t...
