Please do, happy Christmas.

A very happy Christmas to all, here's to a great modelling 2015!

Robbie, that system is the Minx Microdrive which is an excellent system but it is expensive and works out at €22.50 per point. The servo system I am proposing is far cheaper. Alan, yes the basic controller can do 12 points. The DCC module can control 16 modules or 192 points! The Hornby DCC module can only do 4 points. The system can be standalone or be controlled from the Hornby Elite or have both. Here's a couple of videos on them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdQVRKYEYHIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncNWPJLMsg4[video=youtube;UgJ-GVXtHVw]

Hi Alan, The first choice would be what type of point motor, solenoid or slow motion like a Cobalt point motor. It would be better to glue the foam and then glue the point to the foam, then a point motor could be installed underneath or surface mount. If you are surface mounting you would need a spacer to bring the motor up to the height of the point. The solenoid point motor is the cheapest but I prefer the slow motion point motor it looks so much better when switching. I will be offering a new point motor package shortly, it uses servo motors and a digital controller. You can surface mount them and mount them under the point. Each controller can switch 12 servo motors. A DCC module will also be available which will have the capability to control up to 192 servo motors. The package will include the control module, 12 servo motors, 12 switches and LED's for route indication and a power supply. Price will work out around €14 per point.

Very nice work, I have to get a few of them. Did you glue them together or solder?

Looks good Noel, I love double heading the baby GM's. Also love the 222, I'm not a fan of the 201's but I do like that livery and must get one. Looking forward to seeing the scenery develop. It will ad a whole new dimension to your layout.

They look great Kieran, the flush track cutter that I sell cuts brass beautifully with no clean up required after and only €12. Here's a pic of one.

Incredible work Paul, the detail is fantastic. God bless your eyesight.

LED bulbs are the way to go, they last so much longer than grain of wheat bulbs and run cooler. For buildings I use warm white as the light colour is close to a tungsten bulb. I have a number of made up LED's 5mm with resistor in warm white if you want to buy them off me. They will run on DC 9 to 12v. Here's a pic of what they are like

Happy Christmas Anthony, great video

Happy birthday Richie!

PM sent George:tumbsup:

They look superb:tumbsup:

There is also one on the model railway trading group on facebook, brand new never out of it's box for £50. https://www.facebook.com/groups/269672779792194/

They look fantastic, I had a second look at the pictures and the detail is simply breathtaking. The Silver Bullet was a very good investment.

That is very impressive, the attention to detail is stunning. Did you make the windows as well?

That's a beauty:-bd and a monster!

Put up a video!

Very iconic, nice work Patrick.

Excellent work Kieran, soldering is definitely the way to go. Looking forward to seeing them finished.

I'll defo take a few as I want to build some A classes.

Eoin are you planning to offer a RTR chassis for the A Class?

Lovely work Nelson

It would be such a shame to pull apart a 141, they are such a nice loco. I wouldn't be able to bring myself to it:((

Don't see any photos!
