The tips burn out very quickly on them. So they are a false economy. I got an Antex and it will outlast the Lidl one many times over.

Great day George, show was very busy all day. Looking forward to next year.

Great video!

My mate has a Geoeghan engine from Guinness. His Dad got it in the 60's. He's getting it restored.

Northlandz the worlds biggest model railroad, love to visit it someday.

Hi George, yes I will. I have stock on order and should have it with me if it comes in on time.

Looking good

Superb! Love the containers in the background.

That's going to be a stunner George

It was great to meet you Ray, your very welcome. Look forward to working with you

Bleedin rapid is right, there deadly! There was colour differences on the real thing faded paint and old and new paint.

Cork will also be well worth the trip.

My condolences to you and your family at this sad time. RIP.

It looks fantastic, and in N gauge too! Well done

Very nice Noel

The legendary Bob Symes passed away this morning. I remember him well from my youth and watching him on TV with my Dad.

Very nice! You have a great space there.

Thanks Eoin, and much cheaper than the Peco smart switch system!

Thanks Bos! After trying multiple point control systems I wanted a system that was affordable and reliable and easy to use.

I have become an authorised dealer for Megapoints controllers. The Megapoints control board can control up to 12 servos and can be linked to a DCC module that can control up to 192 points! This is a very reliable way of switching points, if the servo fails than it's a cheap replacement without having to replace the main control unit. It is very easy to program and set up. The controller can also be used on semaphores with a very realistic bounce. I will be offering a complete package tailored to your layout, including the controller, servos, mounting brackets, linkages, power supply, switches and LED indicators. Prices are as follows. Megapoints controller €70 DCC Module €35 Servo motors, including mounting bracket and linkage €6 each Switch €2.00 each Pre wired LED €2.00 each Micro switch with mounting bracket €4.00 (For frog polarity switching) A basic per point cost €11.83 without switches or LED's is great value for money. I will have it this coming Sunday at Bray, then Cork. [video=youtube;NIN-ztKiAoY]

Thanks Noel, yes the ESU is fantastic, the Mobile Control II Cabs are brilliant, but as you say too expensive. A great value for money option is the Roco Z21 system. I like the NCE system but it seems the Americans have an attitude of if it ain't broke don't fix it and have fallen behind Europe on DCC control.

Couldn't let me dogs go, they keep me company in the workshop.

Took about 5 weeks in total Paul.

Thanks Bos:tumbsup: Wait till you see the next one I've been commissioned to do! Container terminal, large TMD, faller car system with container trucks, full automatic level crossing. A container ship over a metre long with DCC sound and smoke!
