    You could take a photo of the plan & put it up here. The more information you provide, the more we can try to help.

    It might help if people knew where you are ? Are you in DC or DCC ? More information is needed ? I'm sure someone will be able to help.
  4. Even the delivery charges are reasonable
  5. I continue to resist It's like giving up smoking, it gets easier every day that passes.
  6. Seriously tempting even though I have no O gauge track or stock
  7. Rails always deduct the UK Vat. Postage can be a little higher than Hattons but the orders are securely packed & arrive by registered Royal Mail post. When the parcel arrives in Dublin you are sent a card by An Post with details of the Vat to be paid. Once the Vat is paid online the package is released for delivery. Whether you are charged the An Post handling fee of €3-50 seems to be a bit hit & miss.
  8. Postage with Rails will certainly be more expensive than Hattons.
  9. I'd say most of their stock was either returned to the manufacturer or else bought in bulk by another retailer as there was very little on sale in the first place after the closure was announced.
  10. To answer my own question. The correct Rails connect decoder is RoS-218.4.2.
  11. Question for anyone running one of these on DCC ? I can switch on the headlights but I can't switch on the cab lights from my NCE Power Cab. Anyone have this problem ? I can switch the cab lights on & off with the wand but not from the handset ?
  12. I got an SR Green one last week from Rails. Ran it in on a rolling road, stuck a Rails connect decoder in it & put it on the layout. It runs fine with no bogie problems that I have noticed. Nice loco at a reasonable price.
  13. Gove the back stabber. A weasel if there ever was one I've been trading with Hattons since the late sixties.
  14. That's very sad to hear. If a company like Hattons can't continue then what hope have other smaller concerns. Been in business a very long time. I was purchasing from them back when they used brown paper & string. I'd say Brexit has screwed them as it has a lot of other British companies. Their website seems to be down at the minute ?
  15. Sounds like a fellow whose wife told him to sell off some of his models as she needs a new sofa. "I tried hun but no one would buy them" I wish him luck, lots of it because at that price he's going to need it.
  16. How about here. https://www.petersspares.com/

  18. Hi Derek. What you could do is put a left hand point where I have marked on the photo. That would eliminate the s bend.
  19. Simple answer, get rid of the S bend. S bends are not a good idea anywhere on a layout.
  20. There are still those who'll try to convince you its all a big conspiracy
  21. He must be saving up for a deposit for a house

    Customs & VAT

    Used to be £17 but had increased the last time I looked. Hattond had lots of stuff returned back to them over documentation problems. Probably AnPost again. Brexit has really messed things up for modellers in Ireland.

    Is it still £23 with DHL ?
