Re: Layout design best way to get from head to design

Having spent literally years on the computer planning, my next one will be a 'Lay the tracks down' one. I've a picture in my head, I've put the picture onto the Anyrail software to see if it will fit in the space but now I know the idea is ok for the space available I'll be putting track down in the...

Re: AC to DC

I doubt it from the instructions I've just read. However, many DC controllers have at least 2 outputs, one the DC controlled on at 12v DC and the other at 16v AC. Which power controller are you going to use to control your locos?

Re: Overhead tracks.

I know that a few uk based modellers will probably scoff at me for saying that but I think of uk railways followed sydney metro's example, we would have less incidents of embankments being washed away in bad weather. Maybe a few would, but if you're modelling 'the real thing' then that's not an opt...

Re: 1900: The Search for Nessie Continues.

I just get the 'Oops, something went wrong' message. The link looks like it shouldn't have the /edit on the end but removing it doesn't help.

Re: ***Happy Christmas***

The inevitable happened! Someone opened a 'Happy Christmas' thread :) :-)

Not one to stay silent for long, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, a stocking full of Railway goodies and a joyful and fruitful New Year.

Re: Sim only deals.

£4.50 pm for 5Gb and unlimited text and calls. Some limit on international calls but can't remember it as I don't plan on making any. I got an extra 5Gb free this month for logging into the app for the provider.
