Re: Rivarossi class 641 Diesel railcar - which decoder?
I have, and it's been a few days without response.

Rivarossi class 641 Diesel railcar - which decoder?
Hi all, does anyone know what brand of decoder they put into the sound models of the Rivarossi class 641 (e.g. https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/db-ag-diesel-railcar-class-641-db-regio-running-number-641-034-der-geithainer-silver-grey-livery-dcc-sound.html)? I've tried Google and Hornby themselves, so fa...

Re: Compatibility Between DCC Systems.
Suzie's list near the top of this thread has Hornby in the Expressnet group. To be brutally frank, with suitable well proven basic handsets from Piko and Roco available I simply wouldn't consider Hornby. (With Lenz offering new product some of their handsets might become available s/h too.) Yeah, I...

Re: Compatibility Between DCC Systems.
Sorry to jump in on this thread. I just bought a Digikeijs DR5000, and am looking for a cab/controller to complement it. Most of the control will happen via software, but I still want to be able to pick up a cab and start a loco. The DR5000 speaks LocoNet and XpressNet, and I know that cabs like the...

Re: Doing some research
Ha ha, thanks for taking the time to reply... I'm just conducting some research on the relationship between modellers and retailers (both online and off) and also get an understanding for how someone gets into railway modelling in the first instance? Couple of the questions I have in advance... Do ...

Re: Financial Woes Continue
I find this discussion quite interesting, not least because here in Australia, Hornby is definitely one of the more affordable brands. Granted, they're not quite as cheap as, say, Athearn or other American brands, but compared to Australian model manufacturers, they can be a steal. TTS-equipped mode...

Re: Hi from Australia
Hey, look at all that activity in my thread :D Puffingbill, that's not the worst place to live :mrgreen: I actually work in Brisbane but live in the countryside out west, towards Towoomba. Bit of a commute but as a bonus I regularly get to see the Class 2300 locos pull their coal trains back and for...

Yeah, that ain't fitting anywhere at the moment.
I'm about to give the Cobalt SS motors a whirl, just waiting for my shipment from Hattons.
Great table though, some of those motors I haven't heard of yet.

Re: Walthers new servo point motor
Are there measurements available for these anywhere? My problem at the moment is that I have a table top without legs, which is sitting on top of other tables. I can work below it, but I have limited clearance - neither the Tortoise nor the Cobalt will fit under it at this time.

Re: Australian Hobby Shops.
Most of the shops I've been to have the problem that they buy from a large supplier and have to buy their stock proportionally between Model Railway, RC, Jigsaw and other hobby areas. These shops generally tend to carry limited stock in model railway, and concentrate on the bigger brands (Hornby, Ba...

Re: Hi from Australia
I grew up in East Germany, where TT was one of the prevalent scales. As in proper TT not the weird Triang version with track gauge scaling at four feet nothing. (East) German TT is 1:120 scale with a track gauge of 12mm. The Brits were doing their own weird stuff there. But funny enough, TT in Russ...

Very niche! Where did you find that?

Re: Hi from Australia
Hi! :) PowerCab was a good controller choice to kick off with in DCC regardless the scale. Welcome to the NewRailwayModellers forums. Well, there weren't too many choices, unless I was willing to import a system and deal with an overseas supplier in case of a defect or warranty claim :) I was eyeba...

Hi from Australia
Hi, I'm new here and to model railways in general. Well, not really, I had a TT-scale train set when I was a teenager, but I never did much with it. Right now, I am dabbling with H0 gauge (technically 00, but I'll get rid of those locos and switch to H0) on a small-ish table (6x4ft). Just want to ge...
