Hello all , am about to start an SSM J15 build. just wondering what people think about which motor to use . I do have a mashima I bought some years ago but am wondering if there is any point in buying an expensive motor like a maxon / faulhaber ?

my friend Leo has put this photo from inchicore out on facebook .

Hello All , can anyone tell me where these small casting are fitted on this model ?

Thanks Noel .

Thanks for your help guys , does this photo confirm that they are NEM pockets ?

Hello , can anybody help , is this an NEM pocket ? it is a Marklin wagon .

looking for 50 euros O.N.O. for these plus postage ( 12 euros ) in Ireland. collection possible in North Dublin . Paypal preferred.

thanks guys , I took another look and now I am wondering about the Marklin startup system. https://www.maerklinshop.de/maerklin/maerklin-start-up/?p=1

Thanks for the sermon David , it is very helpful. Thanks everyone for the other comments. I have been looking online and it seems that the lego system addresses your point in that anything made from lego can be dismantled and rebuilt in a different form . There are lego train collectors out there doing that. I am thinking of a lego train system to be followed by an 00 scale set in a few years. The problem I see with LGB is our weather !!

Thanks Galteemore . He is 4 .
