That's given me food for thought, and as Iam not ready to swap over yet I might just wait. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi everyone, I have been trying to source a decent DCC starter set something like the NCE Powercab or Gaugemaster Prodigy but they appear to be like 'hens teeth' just wondered if anyone else was having issues trying to find a suitable system. I had an NCE on pre order at Hattons but they never got a...

Hi Brian, thanks for having a look, the track is all new nickel silver with droppers attached the old Blue Pullman has the knurled wheels and what a racket they make I rekon it slips a bit going up the incline which isn't to steep at 1:3, I had to put some washers in the power car to add some weight...

I am not planning on anything really extensive as long as I can run my old l...

Do any of you guy's modify your points, I am talking about adding the droppers to the point and bridging over from the stock rail to the switch blades so that you don't rely on the blade contact for good continuity? Is this good practice to do this to every point on your layout regardless of whether...
