Thanks for the information, will check out the gauge 1 Association.

Never tried this part of the hobby but it looks like ill have to start. Where does one start? Oh by the way it is Gauge 1.

Tried for over 2 months to secure parts. Could not weight and had to cancel the order. In the end I had to kit bash to repair the loco. I suggest that you take a look at Bachman's ( Europe) method of selling parts.

All I have to say on the topic is that I wish Accurascale well with there takeover of Haljan. If Accurascale continue with their business model in not being able to supply spare parts for their new models, is not a good omen. They produce a lovely spare parts document with there models but have verry little if any of their parts in stock. My rant is over.

RIP Paddy and condolences to his family.

Would you have a list of the railway displays and trade stands?

What is your experience in trying to get spare parts from the leading suppliers in the business? Lets confine it to new models that were released in the last 2 years.

What voltage is suitable to run gauge 1 ? Also wondering what controller would one utilise?

The idea is to make a portable layout and bring it to shows.

Wondering if anyone is using this scale? Thinking of moving to it.

Yes I have a 071 sound chip but not by Mr sound. It is a Zimo MX644 purchased from a model shop in Belfast back in the day.

Thanks for the update

Gust wondering is there any information on the Ballincollig Model toy fare. Is it happening this year and if so when?

This is a model sent to me for repair. The oner stated that the track got shorted while operating it on his railway and now wants a non sound decoder.

I have 2 x 121 with sound, one 141 Black and tan DCC ready. Also 4 x Craven coaches populated and with lights a Craven buffet car and snack car, populated and with lights. If interested PM me

I have a IRM "A" class locomotive. The sound chip is not responding to any commands. Checked it out and it is fried. I would like to instal a non sound decoder but to date any ones that I put in will not run the lighting correctly. It will move forwards and backwards fine and the ditch lights work. But that is it. I wonder do you have to get a decoder from IRM and if so what one? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I know before I ask this will be difficult one to complete. However here goes. I am looking for parts for a Murphy's 141/181, specifically a bogie Pt no MM0141-06 by 2 and a driveshaft Pt no MMO141-03 by 1.

Sorry all books have found a new homes. Sorry nothing on Irish railways

Think of all of those people with A rated houses that have no power. The green agenda strikes again. Will not have power until next Saturday and water 2 days later.

Make sure that you disconnect the motor from the rest of the circuit, otherwise you will get a false result. Regards Brendan

Good Day all, Not an Irish setting so I do apologise before I start. I have a request to increase the no of cars on a Bachmann DMU class 108 BR Green which is a 2 car set to 4. However my knowledge on this subject is verry limited. I contacted Bachmann and they do not do centre cars that are separately available. My question is "Is there any RTR cars out there that can be purchased or cars that would pass if looked at a glance"? Regards Thomas
