They're not all 18m long are they???

Some bits are as small as 10' long, quite easy for a small group of chavs to hoist onto the running line I think.

The ECML is littered with old lengths of rail, both at the side of the track and left in the 4-foot. Whilst it may be 'uneconomical' to take it away, it also puts temptation in the way of the idiots who love to leave heavy objects across the line "just for a laugh". At least if debris like...

'50035 Ark Royal', i do wonder if you post for the sake of it sometimes. You make new threads very often and have already racked up near 400 posts in a month and a half. I'm only on 754 in the 3 years i've been signed up here.... Ditto. Already tried to gently advise that over-posting of numerous n...

Paul

Talking of lights does that 67 not come with working lights? It looks like it should do

Nice video by the way

Er, why?

Why convert it to DCC then put it on a DC track???

Looks like a reverse loop being caused by the diagonal track. Needs to be isolated from the main track with IRJ and powered by a ARM What are IRJ and ARM? I was waiting for that :lol: Best to dispense with the abbreviations I think :wink: IRJs are Insulating Rail-Joiners - they are used instead of ...

Best way I found was to search the internet for a decent book on the line you are tring to model. Very few pictures online for what I wanted to model either, but found a great book with plenty of photos and diagrams that explains a lot about the line
