Hi all, a few RPSI coach sets have popped up on Ebay this morning. When did the RPSI start using the Green Mk2 set and also the Blue/White craven set?

Looked at them a while back, not my thing I'm afraid, prefer the off the shelf and plug in

I used an NCE powercab on my Lincoln Rock Island layout when they first came out and liked its style and simplicity. Have just tried the Piko/Esu smart control bluetooth and that's super nice, expensive though

Hi all. I am looking to buy a new Dcc system, it will need to be able to run 2 Soundlocos at the same time. I have tried a few since 2003 on different layouts but wondered what everyone was using, I dont have a max cost. Also does anyone use computer software like the Railmaster?

Morning all. I am just planning a new oo scale Irish Layout for exhibition use as well as at home. Scenic section will be 13' long x 18" wide running into 2 return loop fiddle yards at back, it will be single line with loop to pass trains,with a station, Dcc and sound. If you are in the Lancashire area ( I'm near Burnley) and would like to get involved please let me know. Basic plan shown

Morning all When did the 4 wheel heating Van's run to and were they used with the craven coaches, can't seem to find much info on them. As they are different I fancied a Silverfox one for my new Irish layout

Thanks for the info, I'm on the mainland so struggle to do your swap meets, found 3 and another member on here has one so all good, the tippex orange was ugly in my opinion, very odd.

Yes the wider sleeper spacing does fool your eye, doesn't it, makes it much more borad gauge like, good job, your layout has given me ideas for my new small terminus , thanks again Dave
