Ooops forgot all about it so thanks for the Shots. Was at the beach instead!

Well nice TBH, Lights and massive detail for what close to 70 notes when compared to the previous Mk.2s.!!!

Look Fab, Never on SR though so out of jail once again!!

Hi George,

It appears you ordered the Mark 2s and Mags together in one order. This is why we advise pre-ordering different product lines separately. Drop us an email with your order number and we can split it for you so you only pay for the wagons now.

Cheers!

Fran

Guilty I did order the 2 together, Did not know about that but I do now! I drop ye a line a a day or two.

Surprised alright when I seen the bill. Are the Mk.2's come then as well as I seem to have a demand for the both the coaches and Mags?

Sorry to heat that Eddie. Few piccys would not go amiss to help with your request?

Tempted now to go to Dortmund and then the Hartz if someone would take the Wife and kids for a week?

It may be of interest to some. Germany is introducing a nationwide 9€ per month train/bus/tram ticket for the summer months. The ticket allows use of (almost) all regional and regional express trains in the entire country as well as all local public transport networks. Interestingly however it also includes several steam operated railways, such as the Mollibahn and the Harz Narrow Gauge system (except the ascent to the summit of the Brocken mountain):

I will definitely be grabbing a ticket in each month and taking a spin somewhere. Trains will be packed on weekends however, so beware!

Flipping jammed all the times I have used them!! Great idea though!

Well the 1st Voyage happened today and it stayed topside! Result, Nice solid ship to handle too, Well Worth the Effort!

Either way it will good to see a 71 arrive in Cork, plan to head to get some photos in Kent

will be thronged!!

Thanks Noel,

Seen that and have increased to a whole 6 locos . 6 is Extremely Low number.  daft Stuff to have it set at 2,  The Roster is 40 on the Dynamis.

Have used it now for past to days, TBH I prefer the Dynamis, I hate the way you can't see what Functions you have set going on a loco above 6, IE Say Water Pump on an MN and if you cant remember what function it is its pot luck to go through them all. See the screen shot of the Dynamis and the Functions (f Numbers) pop up on the LCD screen when selected. 

Secondly I now have a Hornby 08 and Baccy Class 24 where the sound not working properly, I might have to drop down the CV63 to 120 from what I read.

I like the Handhold of the unit and Wheel and other throttle options, I don't like that the Stop button does not stop the hole layout but the loco your are on at the time

A Plus Also the Signal Does not drop as it is directly connected with a wire as opposed to the Wireless Dynamis which was driving me nuts.

If Baccy revised a Dynamis with 30 Functions I would of bought that.

Mmmmm wonder if I should of saved me cash and bought something much more capable like a Z21

That's weird quirk to be honest. I can use the recall button or key in the loco address on my Gaugemaster Prodigy and won't reset any functions.

Does the Powercab still have the 2 loco recall stack?

I found out that can stick in 6 Locos on the unit to Recall database which is a fairly small field TBH , using those 6 the the selected functions wont drop.

Tks Noel, I found out that the Recall button is to be used when you need to call up another loco without losing all the Functions you have set up on it like lights and sound so tis working grand now.

Just a bit of Getting used to.  need to read the book as they say and find out next how to get the big red stop button to work!

Rarity really I imagine. Its this now a Double header then with 2 071's?

Wow never seen that vid before, Love the Traverser

Quick one for you NCE Users.

When I switch between Locos the functions seems to reset, Light's and sound go off. any idea what thats all about? is there a Latching thing I need to do?  Tis ok See a Recall button that is the key to keeping the same Functions in Sitiu.

I must admit the Dynamis unit had a great display you could see the 20 functions and which ones were selected. The NCE not so but otherwise happy enough TBH.

And I got the A Class headlight, the Engine room Lights, the shunting lights on (after about 20mins!!)

Cheers Noel,

Loved the Dynamis TBH but things have progressed beyond the 20 Functions that provided, Only for that I would of kept it as it is dead easy to use. Less button Presses it seems than your option+Option+3 to select a Function over 10. Might of been different over 20 Functions though.

Just seen the Manual!!!

Tis Bye Bye Dynamis and Hello NCE.

I will now be able to operate the A Class Headlight.....

All 

Cool coming down South too so will make a date to take some photos.

Looking at the formations the chap with the Union Jack 47 will have some cash left

Opps so there are!!! Shuold of been this one.....

Never got to the Molli, Next time, Way too many beers...

Popped over for a Historic ship Trip and there was much more than I Expected. No trains were running.

Indeed, Humbrol do a bespoke ‘buffer beam red’, which I have used. Many modellers actually use a dusky pink, which is what the real thing looks like fairly quickly in service.

 

Good luck Getting Humbrol enamel's Now, Pulled off the Market due to Toxins or such.

Will be back later this year with only 80 colours apparently. right pain in the hole.

I've ordered a bottle of this stuff from the Netherlands. I think it might be the same. That's what it's called in the US these days anyway:

Check this out, might do the trick

I keep meaning to try this stuff out but SC Johnson seems to love changing the name and possibly the recipe of this stuff at regular intervals. I've also heard the stuff that works as a modelling aid (for me it would mostly be to gloss areas to apply transfers to) is only available in the US these days but I am hoping that's not the case. I believe this is the current packaging that works for US modellers:

https://www.amazon.de/JOHNSON-WAX-Floor-Care-27-oz/dp/B000ARPH4C

Note the €42 delivery charge from the US and then probably customs on top. Thanks but no thanks Amazon. It's not available in Germany at all it seems but if it's available in Ireland I could pick some up on a visit.

Cheers for any info.

BTW Johnson Clear hates Decal softeners...has a reaction and a white residue appears when applied
