How does it work if you buy something from the uk and get it shipped to AddressPal?

Decoder for Plough van
irishthump replied to controller's question in DCC, Electrics and Electronics
Yeah they’re available. Gaugemaster make one. https://www.ajmrailways.com/model-railways/Gaugemaster-No-Harness-Omni-Small-8-Pin-Decoder-DCC29-DCC29.html -
Thanks Robert, those pics are perfect!

Wow, thanks for that! I had a vague childhood memory of seeing this formation but I dismissed it after JHB's reply. Good to know I have'n quite lost it!

On a point of order, in "Irishthumpland" steam never existed and Supertrain is still running in 2021!
-
Bugger! I guess it will have to be a case of "what if" on my layout! Many thanks for the info!

Couple of questions for the hive mind.... Regarding the MK3 push-pull sets - the only pictures I've seen of these shows them in the tippex livery. Did they ever carry the Supertrain livery? Also were they ever hauled by 121's still painted in Supertrain? Regarding the AEC Railcar push pull sets - were these ever hauled by 121's as opposed tothe re-engined C Class?

I started off with Tony Mirolo’s tutorial to get the streaking effect down the sides of the bubble but I went for a heavier application. The layer of crusty cement on the top was made of plaster of Paris mixed with a small amount of black and brown weathering powder to give it a grey colour. I brush this on the top of the bubble and streak it down the sides. Then mist water over the plaster with a spray bottle to make it set hard. You can repeat this several times depending on what effect you’re looking for.

Very nice! They look like they’ve been coupled together for ages!

First try at a cement bubble. Any thoughts?

WOW! I'd no idea it had two levels.

Finished weathering my small rake of tanker wagons. This was another project that took a couple of years! All 6 were weathered in one batch but I tried for a distinctive look for each one.

Belated Happy Birthday, Patrick!

Back to railways! Finally finished my scratch built brake van. After applying Des’s excellent decals and a bit of weathering she’s ready for the layout. Seen here with a lone tanker wagon and loco 182.

Something a bit different on the workbench. Figures I painted recently for tabletop fantasy gaming.

As was already said, if I was starting from scratch then absolutely. But if 21mm track became available tomorrow I would probably not do it as I have a lot of BR stock that regularly run on my 16.5mm track.

been there, done that!
-
Nice job. I’ll be honest if the speaker failed in one of my 121’s I’d have no problem replacing it and I wouldn’t care if it was visible behind the grill! Would you be able to show us a picture of that installation with the body off the loco?

Repairing a Murphy Models B141 circuit board fault
irishthump replied to Mayner's topic in Tips & Tricks
Very informative, thanks for sharing. I bought a 141 from Ebay a few years back. I got it really cheap as it was sold as a non-runner. Turns out it had a similar-but-different issue with the PCB, the track feeds at one end of the board had failed. I had to rewire to the opposite end of the board and all was fine after that. -
Isn't it true you can reprogramme keys to activate different functions? That momentum button is better of left alone!
-
Just be careful when ordering, there's another decoder - 58449. This appears to have exactly the same specs but may not operate the lights correctly on the 121. This is to do with how the circuit board in the 121 is designed.
