I thought Walter sells them?

Ouch,

Wow, great tip. Looks very realistic.

Lovely work, you have captured a lovely rural scene.

Nice work Kieran, the paint makes such a difference.

What a great collection, love the shot of the tram. I have two photos of my Dad getting on and off the the last tram to ever run. They featured in the Irish Independent a couple of years back.

Jeez Kieran, that's some collection. Very nice

Looks fantastic Kieran, well done

Lovely piece of work, great atmosphere

I've heard good things about Sprog with jmri too

Sprog is a great system, the new one is rated to 3.5 amps. Very good value too. Coupled with JMRI its a very inexpensive DCC system that rivals some top end DCC systems. Control via PC, tablet or smart phone.

Also great for controlling points and signals.

I'd say 18-24 months before they are like the current printer model. Nearly free printer (sub $200) with the margin in the cartridges.

Yes, I would wait another year. But I am definitely going to get one.

Try this one

That link does not work for me

One of my all time favorites

They look great Kieran, they do a great range of containers including Bell's

Looks great

Stunning Roy

Richie, what can I say. Stunning, I love it all.

Well done Dave its a great layout. I love the sound of the 071 at the start - is that the new standard sound chip which became available recently? If it is I'm being very tempted to try get one. Thanks Dave.

Cheers! Its a very small layout, but does the job for the time being. Yes it is the new Murphy Models chip. Well worth it, it ads a new dimension to the layout.

Well the time has come, the pro box met our 3 year old so a new system is in order, i' m 99% sure its the Nce powercab i ll be going with.

I ve a few questions before i make the move don t want to jump in with both feet like the select and dynamsis.

 

1. If i buy the basic set, is it a matter of buying the 5 amp power transformer or do i have to get the full 5 amp pack.

2. Any problems? I m not interested in controlling points or signalling had enough trouble getting my head around doing it with dc plus it ll have enough to deal with the 30 plus loco fleet and a rather large 5m x 4m layout.

3. Can you get power boosters

4. Existing chips MM, lenz gold and bachmann will they be ok?

5. Can it receive upgrades etc like the hornby elite etc

Hi Riversuir,

Good choice, the basic 2.5amp system can easily be upgraded, but you do need the full 5 amp pack.

I did quite a bit of research on this and all the forums that had posted about it everybody liked it and its proving to be a reliable system.

You can get boosters but you need to split your layout into zones, but the 5amp system will run up to 7 or 8 locos at the same time.

Existing chips are fine with it, as its NMRA compliant.

Not sure about the upgrades though.

Its a very easy to use system and setting up consists is a doddle.

Best of luck with it

Very nice work

That's stunning work Anthony, love the water effect so simple. Bridge looks great, well done man

Cheers fella, I'll pm him now

Yep, that's the one. I have checked the wiring 4 times now and is correct. I'll contact the supplier

Hi Chaps,

I have fitted a Shockwaves points position indicator, the only problem is it's not indicating the position of the points. When the point is switched power is sent to the PPI all the LEDs flash but it won't stay on, I have checked the wiring 3 times now and it is correct.

Has anyone ever fitted one? Have you had any trouble with them?
