Flying Scotsman 4472

Marks Models is the official spares supplier for Murphy Models. I ordered several sets and collected them at the Blackrock show but I don't think they were for sale there I think you had to pre order them with Mark.

Not as expensive as you think and if you order before 2pm you get it the next day. Its a great system for the money. http://www.dccsupplies.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=24_111&products_id=487

There are lots of systems out there I would say the most popular are Lenz, NCE, and Gaugemaster. No matter who you ask they will always say there's is the best. Just remember if you ask in a shop they will most likely tell you what they sell is the best (remember they just want your money) Your best bet is to talk to a dealer who specialise in DCC. The like of DCC Supplies sell lots of systems and will give you plenty of advice. I use NCE myself.

Rich you should send the wife and kids away for 2 weeks this summer and you stay at home and make a start

That was me

What ever you do stay clear of Hornby and Bachmann DCC controllers

The voyager or the pendolino or both

I think that is the standard livery on their stock. Someone once told me that H and S state that the doors on trains have to be painted different to the rest of the train.

I would have been interested in 1 or 2 items but prices are to high for second hand stock no matter how good their condition is

I was telling Wrenn about this and just came across it on You tube again. Language is a bit strong in parts. You have been warned:o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05_ahAulMSE

Seamus with the extent of the frame work on the middle baseboard it was not possible to use below the surface motors.

A basic guide for you guys on weathering a loco by Everard Junction

Very very nice Northman she's a real beaut. I'm really looking forward to Paddy's 071 but my other eagerly awaited release this year will be Hornby's all new Flying Scotsman I will definitely be having one of those.

I am very surprised there aint more railway theft here like there is in the UK
