Greetings :) Interestingly, I was just looking at the Roco Dockside Crane which comes already DCC fitted and has an optional joystick controller. http://www.tee-usa.com/roco40110.html You may want to take a look and see if it generates any ideas :) Regards

Hi David :) Are you really a Flying Scotsman? :) I agree, the lined livery was splendid, and am trying to think about how to translate that onto a GP9 with dynamic brakes for example for passenger work. Eventually, I will get a passenger steam loco, and then we will go the whole fully...

Hi Chris :) Yep, I have... I have a railway room that is about 12' x 11', so what I am doing first is a portable small yard about 10'6 x 2' which will go down one of the 12' sides eventually, being associated with a station on the adjacent wall. I will try to draw up the plan for display...

Greetings all :) I recently posted about my fictional railway that I am basing my modelling on.. the Great Western Railway of Canada, partly based on Fact with a lot of Fiction involved. :) The thread for the history was :- http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=13318 I have now...

Thanks all :) Birthdays are great... no-one in the household worries when Graham goes to play trains on his birthday.. he's allowed to be undisturbed that day with no chores... just heaven help him tomorrow if he doesn't catch up on them :))))) Regards

Greetings all :) Well finally I can join in again on this thread. After spending a number of weeks developing the history for my new fictional railway.. The Great Western Railway of Canada, I had a free weekend this weekend and spent the whole weekend on starting the new model... 2 14 hour...

Looks good Chris :) Now I have a feel for HO gauge and spce requirements, it looks like with some suitable scenic treatment, you could easily get your main line through an urban setting system in.. I guess you will be doing a roundhouse off the main line as well to store all those lovely...

Greetings all :) okay.. stupid question for the day... It seems to me that if you buy an Undec bodyshell, it means you will be painting it. Therefore, why does the manufacturer STICK the window glazing in with liquid cement around every edge of the clear plastic welding it to the...

Hi :) I use Sunrise N gauge signals, but the make is not important, as CTI does signal control boards in Common Cathode, Common Anode and Bulb formats... To save money, you need to make sure that all your signals are the same otherwise you may find you need multiple signal boards, which will...

Thanks for the comments all :) OK, heres the history so far.. I have seriously mixed fact and fiction here to try and get a good historical basis for the railway, and answer some of the ideas posed by Val and others as to "What is the basis and location" :) The London and Gore Railroad Co...

Greetings all :) okay, my model railroading dilemma.. As a new ex-pat in Canada, I have no history of the railroads here, or the technical details that growing up and modelling in the UK gave me for my hobby, so what's a person to do.. spend ages doing research, or... invent a fictional...

Hi:) Heres a couple of companies whose products I have used. Both do resin kits for marine items in HO.. http://www.isp.ca/sylvan/ is Sylvan Models from here in Canada the other is a Dutch company, but much of their stuff can be used for North America.. http://www.artitec.nl/ ...

Hi Chris:) I would love to.. the thing is where I work is currently working on a project which is due to launch 1st March.. now, between you me and the gatepost, I honestly believe that in a week or two, that will become first week April, which means that I will be working every hour there...

Hey Chris:) Will do:) What other LHS has a coke machine on-site so you can get a can and have a browse :) I have to remember to take my camera each time.. when I was up there Saturday, the barriers came down on the crossing so we all went to the window... a main line freight came...
