Congratulations! Post a few pics when you get her

Unbelievably realistic Anthony - just keeps getting better and better Those poor MK2's look like they've been sitting on a scrap line for a year Just absolutely stunning!

Wow! Any more photos? We truly are in a golden age!

Is it bad that they make me think of a giant can, and make me thirsty? Great shots lads!

You can always also use Seacow ballast wagons (NIR ran a rake of them) In addition to the 201, 071 NIR options, there are hunslets and C class from Silverfox and more... I'm planning an NIR station and depot on my layout - there is lots of stuff available!

Can't go wrong for 100 euro for a sound chipped 66! http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/hobbies/4152312

Haven't used it myself, but certainly looks simple!

Nice. Will give that a go! Thanks!

Looks super effective! Any particular card type?

And yes, as part of the adjustments to the points i remove the springs and cut the ends off the tie bars.

The motors are Cobalt Digital from DCC concepts. The motor itself it digital so it plugs directly into the bus and is programmable with an address. It also has connectors for additional switching like signals as well as frog polarity. In terms of positioning there is a template they supply that you place under the point and it lines up all the drill holes. I'm using their double sided foam sticky pads to fix to the board. It's at least twice as quiet as screwing them in. Using the template, you don't need to worry about centering. It works perfect first time They are about half the physical size of the tortoise, don't need additional cabling or accessory decoders and have a lifetime guarantee.

Looking amazing! Did you use card for the hard standing ?

Looks great! Which timbers are they? (Which manufacturer/supplier)

Cheers Anthony

Yep, and now I've a sore back, strained eyes but two dozen fully programmed working points

No escape from the filthy stick :)

hehe, 'some' trains ran clean Just look at most of the RPSI stock, even B141 That said, a little frame and brake dirt is never a bad thing :)

I'm very impressed by them. I seem to have a few from a batch that are a bit dicky (they wont accept an address). But otherwise they are (relatively) tiny, very powerful, very quiet, and include frog polarity switching, and two additional switches as standard (for if I ever get around to adding signals!). Best of all, the motor incorporates a decoder, so its' literally two wires to the motor and you are done! I'd definitely recommend them.

No where near brave or competent enough for that yet Merlin I actually found on ebay! About two years ago, iirc!

Today was mainly about Point Motors 16 More to program and install tomorrow

Very very tasty Heirflick!! Lovely shade of blue!
