Thats a great price for 18mm. Their 9mm is a good price too slightly cheaper tham my local supplier, A K Williams in Telford if anyone is local. Mind you Williams cut it to size for free which is handy for me as it means it will be straight and fit in the car :) :D . Their 3 x 1 is 3.60 + vat for an...

Ok maybe I was a bit over enthused yesterday gussing what i meant was its kind of comprehensible to my small brain

I have to say that, returning to railway modelling for the first tine since I did it with my dad in the 1960s, DCC scared me. Was never going to be my thing.

Thank you. I wanted a reverse loop so trains can return to the terminus. Now the thing is i know exactly how to wire this in DC. In fact i was going to have a seperate controller for this section. No idea how to do it in DCC but I think I read somewhere you can get some sort of module that does it a...

Im hoping if I slightly widen the ends of the baseboaed I wont have to go below 18 inch radius which I belive is above radius 4 so hopefully wont be a problem. I have a personal bugbear about trains of coaches going round tight bends - the angle between the coaches offends me lol. Point taken about ...
