Hi guys

Sorry to bring up an old thread but it seemed rude to open up another one regarding the same product.

To operate 4 points using servos etc. Would mega points be the way to go or is there another alternative at a cheaper price?

Cheers guys

Quick question, I drive for a living but get quite alot of down time in various places. Is there anything stopping me from using the 12v cigarette socket in my coach as a power supply for a small (3ft by 1ft) Oo guage shuntting layout? Wouldn't expect it to be high output as would be low speed etc b...

Righty ho, been planning, re planning and then moving bits around,,, oh then re planning and decided on this setup. Its essentially based on the idea of washford expect the fact that its a terminus station with an extra siding. Mainly tank locos being used on local 3 coach trains with small goods co...

Hi guys, Really looking at getting a megapoints controller but on the manual it says "Connect the board to a smoothed DC power supply in the range of 9 – 20 volts. Your power supply should be capable of supplying a minimum of 2 amps per MegaPoints Controller." Could anyone recommend someth...

Hey guys, Really appreciate allthe replies on here. Its all good food for thought. Ive got a completely blank canvas at the moment. So currently looking at dad-1's idea on having the while track raised. How do you go about wiring and point motors etc. Or do you just allow an extra bit of width on th...

Hi guys, Due to how the boards have been used as a top to a load of open cupboard space, ive got flat boards as a startting point, but obviously id like some form of Hills and depth. Along with making the railway appear to be built into the land rather then the land around the railway. How have you ...

I think i see what you mean, and yes. I think it could work out better that way. Will probably include that in, during the layout building in hopefully about a months time.

Im now just in the process of going back over all the things ive asked to get a better idea on electrics etc

Hi guys Currently planning my layout at the moment, the size of the board is to be determined by the railway more then the railway is determined by the available board size. Although things will be move about to make them spacious but not huge im more after ideas for the track layout rather then len...

Hey all, Quick question, since ive moved house and have been given the chance to start again with new skills, im more and more interestted in modelling the Signalling side of things, I understand in general where and how signaling works, but is there a "simpleIsh" way of making tokenless b...

I noticed on a couple of threads about braking. Is braking not just a simple fact of turning the controller down . Or is that down to how the CV's are set? Sorry to hi-jack the thread a little . But as im looking in to getting set up with dcc and everything i thought this would be a good place cheer...

I belive they have a wheelchair lift avalible . Might be best to ring ahead just to make sure someone is around to use it safely .

My experiance is tbat its no where near as crowed as alexadra palace and theres quite a few open places to watch everything happen with out the need to move past people

Ive been down on them many time . Its amazing to see . Tenders are still in quite good nick for where they are but the locos are pretty distroyed . But i think they were more ontop of where the original explosion was .

This is just amazing work . If i can get half as much detail on my buildings as you do . Ill be over the moon
