Drop me a PM with details and I can take a look?

Yep, I use mine on all peco code 75, works a charm.

Yes. It's a lovely weighty thing that does a good job at keeping track clean.

Bloomin stunning!! More pics please!

Wow!! Words fail - this is going to be exceptional !

This layout has a lovely feel to it, probably only enhanced by the stock mix

Ah he won't post!

Great clip and looking forward to more!!

Wow is right, the preview lets you read the whole thing too! Wow!

And it's compatible with a range of apps for iphone and android!

She looks right at home

Looking forward to seeing her hauling 400 wagons on that layout

The layout threads and blogs are the place, but I know what you mean in terms of a browsable gallery type listing, where you can avoid the 400 pages of chit chat and just drool over the layouts

Absolutely gorgeous work and looks immense fun to operate!! Keep those photos coming!

Oh those are just exquisite!

That looks brilliant Dave, as does that static grass!! Cracking work! Which brush did you get ?

Murphy Models manufacture sound chips for their range, and ModelShopBelfast.com also offer an alternative range. Both are excellent, but I personally prefer the sounds from the MSB units. Functions are solid state control circuits that can be used for lights, uncoupling, etc. Most provide a simple 12v DC supply, and others can provide 'special effects' like fashing strobes, etc. Each decoder will have different options and features. 2 Function is your basic decoder, it will run the loco, and give you two (typically) light circuits, that you can use for directional lights, headlights, etc, as you wish. More functions, simply give you more circuits, so you can have more light controls, headlights independent of the directional lights, cab lights, etc.

Interesting! They look like an OEM version of the DCC-Concepts units..

Agreed! Inspirational!

Genius !

Have reliable automatic couplings been made for OO locos (e.g. bachmann/hornby style)? //Yes. Check out Kadee couplers. They look and work relatively prototypical key and can be uncoupled magnetically. How does DCC sound work? Is the sound built into the DCC module or is it a separate module connected to the DCC module? //Many modern locos including the Murphy 201 and 071 are per wired for sound and even include a speaker fitted. All that's required is to pop in a sound equipped dcc module otherwise you can buy chips with sound on board and find room to fit the speaker :usually in fuel tanks or tenders) Aside from horns, whistles, etc, are there sound modules the simulate diesel engine noises and steam engines running? // Absolutely! Modern DCC sound provides up to 14 unique sounds as well as full engine noises perfectly syncd to the acceleration and braking. You can even notch up a stationary loco. Any recommendations for DCC module brands? There seem to be modules from €20 to right up to €120 // there is a huge range. DCC concepts just brought our a new range that include some very small decoders, ideal for squeezing into steam engines and smaller locos and also offer a stay alive module which maintains power to the loco over dirty or poor track. For lights in coach rakes I presume I need to either hard wire the rake together with power pickups on one coach and a single DCC accessory module, or do folks put independent power pickups on all their coaches with a DCC module in each? // check out traintech http://www.train-tech.com/index.php/lighting/interior-coach-lighting I've to test install one and they look good. Each coach gets a small smd led strip on the roof with an integrated battery and motion sensor. If the coach moves the lights come on. If it's stationary for a predefined amount of time they go out. Very handy compromise to dropping contacts at every coach.

Just wow Noel!! What are the overall dimensions? Do you have a track plan?
