Dave

No bother Dave, they're £100 with free shipping, so whatever that works out in Euro's!

Cheers! Me thinks I'll get one.

Thats a little stunner! Love the sound, if you don't mind me asking how much was it?

Wow, thats a stunner! Layout is looking great too, love the shot over the suspended bridge.

Thats great news, I thought this would have stayed in storage and forgotten about.

My god that is spectacular! Just stunning, Glenderg really out did himself this time.

I dont think its a better option than the Cobalt, the Cobalt is more powerful and just as versatile. The big advantage for Cobalt is fitting time, I'm currently installing a large layout for a customer with 34 point motors. The Peco system would take a long time to install and setup were the Cobalt point motors were fitted and wired in a matter of hours. For me the Cobalt is a no brainer! Plus it has a lifetime warranty and I have the agency for them so I'm a bit biased

Hi Dave,

I didn't fancy the big outlay for the Noch applicator either, but thats a great alternative. Very effective looking static grass. Will it do the longer fibers too? Say if someone wanted to model crops/rough grass in OO?

Tom.

Hi Tom,

Yes it will do the long fibres you would need a larger mesh for it to work well. I found it hard to justify the price for the Noch and others even though I will be using it a lot.

QUOTE=Portoman;43973]Great stuff Dave. Where does one get a negative ion generator ?

Hi Dave, got it from this crowd in Australia.

Thanks lads, David I made this for commercial use. I am currently working on a very large layout with large areas of static grass so a bigger sieve is essential. I also have them on long leads to make life easier.

Thought I would show you guys a cheap option for a static grass generator. I know there cheaper alternatives out there but this has the equivalent power output of the Noch that retails at €150, built for less than €50!

I used a negative ion generator and powered it with 12v DC from a transformer. Bought a tea strainer for small areas and a sieve for larger areas, and they work a treat!

Model Rail Baseboards will be there!

Yeah but I've read about US modellers turning one loco of a pair into a dummy because they couldn't get them to speed match.

It's just a matter of setting up the CV's on the decoder properly and using the same decoder in the two locos, I run a pair of 141's together and when they are uncoupled they run in perfect unison.

If you are using DCC you don't need to strip out a loco, just double head them and have twice the pulling power

Excellent video Your layout looks great, I love the weathered track oround the station area

It will be quite some time before we see a 121 from Paddy, there is still a lot of stock to shift before he will do a production run on the 121's.

This came up a couple of days ago http://irishrailwaymodelling.com/showthread.php/2791-To-Cork-or-Not-to-Cork

The only real advantage as discussed is the raised shoulder when ballasted. As for sound as soon as its ballasted the sound is transferred back through the ballast. The only other advantage if your baseboards are slightly misaligned the underlay makes up for it.

My baseboards don't suffer from that problem!

Lovely work there Kieran, looks the business:tumbsup:

I too am a member of a number of Facebook groups but they don't compare to an open forum. Particularly this one that is going from strength to strength.

Nice work Sean:-bd

The lad that arranged it just did it to give the money to hand in hand charity for sick children not to make a profit.It was great to get out of the house.Its nice to support good causes had a good chat to baseboard Dave he is the man with a great idea that people want.I for one wasn't disappointed as I have a fantastic layout at home and Dave when you are back in Salthill at the end of the month I hope we meet again

Cheers Mike

Stunning David, love the cracked paint.

Happy birthday Pat! Have a good one

Nice to have met with the usual suspects and base board Dave lovely quality work there young man

Happy birthday Fran, have a good one

Looks great, best of luck with it. Post plenty of pics as you go
