New Railway Modellers Forums

"That" advert is utterly dreadful, but that's just my opinion. If it encourages more people into the hobby and away from their Xboxes, etc., then job done. I think this chap sums it up perfectly for me: Railway modelling to me means five things. 1/ It needs to look reasonably realistic. 2/...

4-aspect colour light signal, with home-built sequencer, based around an NE555 & 4017 counter IC.

The next photo will have more home-built automation, either electronic or mechanical.

Blimey, 200 quid for a bottle of Klear and 300 sold?
By that standard, I have almost four grand's worth in my cupboard...

Michaelaface - Tri-ang used to do exactly that.
Their CKD (Completely Knocked Down) range was certain locos and coaches from their main R-T-R range in kit form.

EDIT: Found this link...

Aside from those discs, a nice touch is that the customer can decide how much bufferbeam detail to add, rather than the whole lot being factory fitted (only to have someone chop it off later).

(Can't seem to edit the above post... Mods, help!)

I've read a few accounts of people having locos with wonky nameplates, however, my 'Ark Royal' is fine.
At the moment, I'm plucking up the courage to (1) attach the discs, and (2), to confess to my other half that I *may* have just ordered a second D600...

Bigmet - I have had a closer look and I see that, while a speaker appears on the parts diagram, one is not fitted.

Just watched both episodes.
Interesting enough, but when it was revealed to SK that a number of IM tools had been scrapped, my reaction was much the same as his.
It would be interesting to see a list of what tooling was scrapped...

Yes, they are illuminated. The tail light is a single unit, as per the prototype.
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. D605Eagle - From what I can see, the model is a true A1A-A1A, those centre wheelsets appear to be not drive...

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.

"Yeaahh! I caught it!"
Sooty. Not a fan of Class 20s.

More cats and trains.

Very nice set there, Dublo.

Hi folks,
I'm looking for the following for projects. Non-runners are preferred, but anything considered. Paint condition is not important.

- Lima Class 60, complete.
- Mainline/Dapol Class 56, complete.
- Class 92 body.

Thanks in advance,

DonB
