The tail and cab lights are switchable for analogue users, the switches are located under the battery boxes.
As far as I can see from the parts diagram included, the models also have a built-in speaker.

Mine arrived yesterday morning, just as I was heading off to work. Much later, upon opening the box, I was greeted with a stunning model, which (even before running-in) was a superb performer.

According to a post on KMRC's Facebook page, the D600s have now arrived and are being packed and despatched.

According to their website, the shop will close on Saturday 2nd February.

Both are very much into games consoles, smartphone games, etc, but their comments on the DCC layouts was quite intere...

I've only just come across this thread, and I have to say that these are stunning. Like several other contributors, I have to keep reminding myself that these are N gauge...

Should you ever decide to upscale to 00, I'm sure I could find work for a couple of A5s...

Hair?
Yes, I remember that...

Good news, anyone... I have found a suitable photo hosting site.
I shall be uploading my photos to the new host (img.bb) in due course. I will be working backwards (no change there).
If there are any issues with viewing the photos, please PM me.

Yes.
There are also 2 types of fire extinguisher and an escape ladder should things go tango-uniform.
