Thanks all but they are all wrong period for my layout , so going to keep the dosh for the 121s and A

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?

What backscenes have you used ?, do look super, blend in well

I'm with Ian on this one, kits or rtr , c rail it is

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

Hi all, I am thinking of going into the dreaded ( in my book) world of airbrushing. What would any of you recommend, it will be used mainly for scenery work

Pre ordered mine, not a big book, but great photos

Being a new member it was nice to chat

Is there a rtr chassis available for these short containers , ie dapol, hornby ect, I'm useless with kits

That the one I was looking at, so yes modellers licence to be used, thanks for the pics

Thankyou gents, nice to know, now a decision as it's my railway and 1980s, do I run one, mmmmm, what's the saying . It's your railway .

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 Wexford70, I will give them a call, can't visit as I'm Reading UK,

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.

Bob, yes I will take it, work out post cost to Dave Dawes, 189 Whitley Wood Road, Reading, RG28LD , we can do a friends and family paypal

Funny, I put the post up and 2 came up on Ebay with different sellers, both with offers, so made offers and got both, i will just keep looking as another one plus a Dutch steam gen coach will be lovely

Hi all, are there many Craven Coaches models still around or was it a short run by Murphys

Tell you what the best noise is at the moment a 071 or a 201 accelerating hard

Wont bother me Andy not a kettle fan I'm afraid , diesel oil in my blood, comes from being a driver on BR class 31, 47 and 50s Best job I had was the last Oxford (2300) back one spring evening 7 mk1 coaches 2x class 50s in multiple ( one was being returned in train to Old Oak so I mu them) my friend was in Slough panel box that night and they clocked me at 107mph past the box, the noise leaving Reading was nothing liked I've heard since

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

Thanks chaps a couple of choices
