£2100 and fail to reach reserve.

I would expect £1.20 would cover 2 diodes and a cap. For whatever reason I can't see the pictures But expect it's 2x 1N2004 @ 18p each and 1000uF 35v @ 80p.

Not done much actual railway related building. But I have built a mostly completed Metcalf factory (with some lights, but forgot to shield them, so the walls light up as well. ) and a 5v regulated supply on stripboard with 7805.

Hi Kenneth Might be easier to buy one of these;- How boring would that be. :| It's the challenge of building it yourself. 8) I've started acquiring parts to build one (and I'm not even DCC yet), and IF it all goes tits-up, I can fix it. Admittedly both the wife and myself have access to accounts wi...

Is that not a '50s one?

I was using the correct English spelling!!!, but I was primarily after a UK source. It does look like some use Kato tyres, others Bullfrog snot.

Now there's an idea, I think we have some at work, think I'll try the non-adhesive first though.

Is it possible to get new traction tyres for life-like, as my test loco has shed 2 and though it still runs, it doesn't pull much more than 2 wagons with out lots of wheel spin. I have tried a websearch, but found nothing.

I know what you mean, I'm part way through doing the factory (with added internal lighting). I found some parts are to small for gluestick or glue pen and had to use superglue. I now have so many different glues for basicly the same use, sticking paper. They are easier than print your own though. I ...

you will never get an exact match (use the same pot of paint on at least 2 different days, and there will be a slight shade difference.).

Go with the Maplins. 7/0.2 is fine for general use like leds and low draw items.

That's a great drawing. If I saw that in a shop, I'd buy one for the wall.
