What do you do when you have too much stock ? Build another layout of course Not content with my main layout downstairs I decided to build another one in a loft bedroom. It will be L shaped 12 ft x 9 ft & I decided to call it Mill Road because I couldn't think of anything else . It is built in modular form so that it can be taken down & moved if the need ever arises. Baseboards are 24" deep so easy to reach the back if needed. Fortunately I have a very understanding wife & it keeps me out of trouble, well most of the time anyway. Here are some early photos. I'll post more on a regular basis. The framework is 3" x 1" with 9mm ply for the top. The legs are 2" x 2". Tony.

?????

Anyone got one of these before I have to look online ? Tony.

Hi Everyone. Has anyone got a Dcc Concepts IP Digital point motor that they no longer use or need & are willing to move on ? I'm short one motor for the fiddle yard of a layout I'm building. If anyone has one drop me a message & we'll sort something out. Thanks. Tony.

The main thing is to take care of yourself

Yeah

Well he's not going to keep them at my expense

Surely that seller realises that no one in their right mind would pay that amount Sounds like something Gostude would do.

I think some sellers are living in an alternate universe. I've heard of being optimistic but this is just plain crazy https://www.ebay.ie/itm/226337047407

Desperate people will sometimes do stupid things.

Rails price gouging No surprise I suppose.

At least you got a reply, not that it was any good. GLS are just a disaster of a company

Ended at that.

Silicone grease. Something like this.

Yes, it eventually turned up last week. Never got a reply to my emails to GLS which is no surprise. Disaster of a company.

If you look at a motor you will see two brush terminals where the wires from the pickups are connected. You apply DC power to these terminals to see if the motor is active.

With the body off apply power to the motor terminals to see if the motor works. If the motor works then I would look at the pickups. Check the wheels, both thread & back to see if they're clean. Use cotton buds & IPA

Make sure there's power on the track. Check with another loco or multimeter. Are you using Dc or Dcc & is the loco Dc or Dcc ?

Place offer, No offers

It was tracked. Last seen in Germany on Dec 12th. Tried to ring them again this morning but they're closed for the holidays. I'll catch up with them eventually

I had something coming from Germany since Dec 11th. Got an email after a few days telling me it was delayed. Nothing since. Rang customer service & was no 13 in the que. When I got to no 1 the call was dropped & I was cut off. Sent them an email & yes you've guessed it, never got a reply. A complete waste of a company
