Hi Westport. 7)A CDU is recommended/essential? That depends on what power source you are using. I am using an old laptop power supply for my point motors (Seep) and that has plenty of power. If you use the tapping's from a conventional controller then a CDU may be advisable. 8)Electrofrog points are the way to go with DCC. Again, using a PM1 motor, can this be wired up to power the frog and look after polarity? Any thoughts or comments on any of the above would be welcome. I use SEEP PM1 on my layout and I have modified my peco points so that the seep powers the frog polarity depending on route set. Regards

Hi, Welcome to the world of railway modelling. In the first instance I would recommend that you have a look at a few model railway magazines first for some inspiration, Railway Modeller, Hornby Magazine, Model Rail and British Railway Modelling (BRM) are all quite good. Also some track plan books may be of use ( I have some if you are interested). Also you have come to the right place here, as there are a lot of modellers who can help and advice you.

Hi Steve, the photos have not come up on the facebook group, it says attachment unavailable... Regards John

Some of my photos from yesterdays show.

Hi, Here are a couple of pictures of Campbell Riverside being exhibited at the Midlands Model Railway exhibition in Portlaoise on 14th September. Was a very great and enjoyable day. Must give thanks to the lads at the Midlands Model Railway Club for giving me the chance to exhibit Campbell Riverside.

Hi all, had a great time exhibiting my Campbell Riverside layout at Portlaoise today. Was nice to meet you guys from the Midlands Club and also the guys from the other visiting clubs too. Look forward to meeting again. Regards John

Looking good, will have to get my airbrush out one day..

If loco has been re-sprayed, how can it be described as 'Mint'?

Looking good, very nice work.

Hi Dave, at the moment Campbell Riverside is going to be at Portlaiose on 14th September and Enniskillen on 20th Sept. The cassettes were made from 3mm MDF for the base and 6mm MDF for the sides with Peco code 100 track. Regards

Will do, thanks.

Baseboard edges now tidied up, cassette fiddle yard now made, almost ready for exhibition now.

You may like to try this for your transfers, http://georgedentmodelmaker.blogspot.ie/2013/01/klear-ing-things-up.html The original is no longer available , but according to George Dent, the latest replacement is not too bad. It is ideal for brushing on and does not leave any brush marks. Hope this helps. Regards

Very nice pics there, Not been down to Ballina for a while myself, should really make the effort and get some pics myself, I'm about 40 mins drive from Ballina. The station layout looks like it could have potential for a terminus to fiddle yard layout, I think I have a track plan somewhere that was published in Railway Modeller a few years ago. Regards.

Looks like we have run out of Steam....

PM sent, Regards
