New Railway Modellers Forums

I have to disagree, In the first photo, i find myself looking at the lights on bufferstop's ceiling. I also notice that the foreground is blurred. The focus point is somewhere in the middle. Getting front to back in focus and sharp would perhaps have needed a smaller aperture, but that would have ma...

If you have the Libby app, you'll likely find model rail is included for free, as is BRM. You might not find much mention of Libby elsewhere as Mr Pork goes apoplectic when it's mentioned. You'll need to be a member of a library to enjoy Libby And if it helps the OP, the latest issue has a subscript...

Easy model railroad inventory

By RCL

Not so easy to find anymore, but it does everything you want and its free

As muggins says, type a brief description of the loco into google and look for the modelraildatabase result. It tells you the year.

A lot will depend on what you're intending to have in the shed. Just a model railway would be fine if you ran an extension cable from the shed to the house that you took up when not in use. Add an RCD. More permanent measures mean more work. As said, you'll need armoured cable and it'll need to be d...

Agree completely. My eyesight isn't what it was, but its still fairly reasonable and all the details that seem craved for seem barely noticeable, if at all. One exception being the headlights - they seem to have made really decent fist of these.

To be able to insert a dcc chip without taking the body apart and losing all the fine details.

On the off chance these turn up, what you'll need is proof of ownership. This will be like a kick in the teeth. Its all very well saying you had 'x', you'll need proof you did. This can be an inventory or it can just be a photo that happens to show them in the background. But proving the turned-up i...

Thanks for taking my question in the way it was intended. I was genuinely interested and your reply was fascinating. How does the system deal with spoofed IP addresses (and feel free to decline if it risks security)? I could imagine that if the IP shows the address is Kenya, it might raise an eyebro...

A load of entries on one of the public blacklists

interesting - what's this?

My 05 went pop too. I can't remember if its an 8 pin or 6 pin decoder, either way it was small and specialised. And expensive. So it went back to the shop and the owner 'showed me how to do it'. Then it blew his. So he tried a bachmann chip which was fine, but too big. Long story short, its on a gau...

Yeah, I'd tend to let it wash over. It's all about the likes, see. The more you comment, the more people are driven to his youtube channel, the more videos viewed, the more money it makes him. Then you get the tie ins with manufacturers that others have gone down - '"have this model - do us a v...

Comment on the other place explaining a lot. If true, it suggest this is all Hornby's doing in having favoured retailers. And it would seem Hattons is not one of them.

6 of one, half a dozen of the other.... Short answer, nobody has revealed why this is happening. It *mostly* affects hattons. Rails no longer sell Hornby. Lots of rumours why. Some say its an attempt by hornby to get more of the market for themselves, others that hattons over order. etc etc One day ...

How about a pub
