Re: Alex3410 - My Railway
I use the Gaugemaster CDU, and I too have a double set of points to throw (Peco code-100 Electrofrogs), and it has no issues.

@Metadyneman
Ahh, that explains it.
But, what you are now telling me is that I was irritated by its absence for years, for absolutely no reason?

Re: Intercity 125
I remember thinking the only shortcoming of the original Hornby class 253 (I think that's what it was) was the lack of the roof 'bit'.

Re: Servicing an old Lima loco
Oh phew.
I used to employ the first method years ago, and have all the equipment for successful execution of the second.

Re: Servicing an old Lima loco
On a similar Lima topic; What's the best way of cleaning existing traction tyres? I'm sure many cleaners end up destroying the tyres, so I'm not doing anything until I know for sure. Up to now it's been a soaking in washing-up water. Also, some traction-tyres seem to be made from a tougher 'rubber' ...

Will be interesting to see if it sells
Ohh come on. That is a bit silly.
Seems to me the pricing there is not so much the real cost of the item, but the cost of its popularity.
A new industry pricing model, methinks?

Re: Gresley collection
Locomotives these days are becoming overly detailed and it is a monumental task to get the product to a customer without damage occurring... I think I may have mentioned this before but... I bought the Heljan class-17 shunter, which is a lovely model, and I have no complaints, bar one: I think that...

Re: Meanwhile, somewhere near Tiverton...
You're welcome.
I intend trying more, but with better lighting, and who knows, the layout may even be even more completed.

Re: Meanwhile, somewhere near Tiverton...
I could make up a chassis, but I'll probably go for the easy option and next time I get to ordering something, I'll find a cheap working chassis to swap out.

Re: I must stop spending!
Well today I visited John Dutfields with a selection of old stock that I wanted to trade in for something else, was told my stock was worth £100 :shock: I was shocked, and was like a bloke in a model shop, I didn't know what to get, something old or something new, big or small, I couldn't choose, b...

Re: S and J Model Shop, Northwich
The OP specifically asked for people's experience with this store.
Surely then, the answer counts as experience. The fact that it isn't glowing praise is therefore completely relevant to the question asked.

Re: Hattons Dispatch times
With the DCC encoder packaging, one of those thick cardboard envelopes would seem the ideal solution, just like those Amazon like to use for a single DVD or similar.
Small enough not to seem silly, but tough enough to protect, and large enough not to go missing.
