Hi Dave & I'm very interested in your thread as its covering an area I would like to get as much info on as possible for my own layout. For what it's worth I remember some time ago been told that coal trains loaded / unloaded somewhere in the Bray area, from ships / boats coming in to a dock. ( North of the Habour! ) Maybe someone on here will have more details. BTB

Great bunch of photos, & lots & lots of detail in them.. Thanks for posting

Controller for what it's worth, I have read that you cannot run / drive a loco that's on the programme track, only having been programmed can you run that loco, I'm sure others far more experienced than I am on here will explain this in more detail, BTB

Hi controller, for what it's worth & not in any way taking from all the information, advice & knowledgeable help you have got from the guys on here, there's lots on YouTube about this very issue, might be worth a look...BTB

A man of many talents, very well done, I particularly liked the music at the start...

Do's that mean my parcel's not coming......

Ah sure it'll be alright, there both going in the same direction...LOL

Hi TMG, have you considered this method, it's a cost factor as opposed to time !!! It's only a suggestion !! BTB http://www.ebay.ie/itm/HORNBY-PREWIRED-POWER-FISHPLATES-DCC-N-MODEL-RAILWAY-TRAIN-TRACK-LAYOUTS-/222384220099?hash=item33c721e7c3:g:80YAAOSw241YY8MU

That same guy makes very nice model trees !! Have a look here, BTB

Came accross this, there's a clip of the Fry Model Railway as well as other stuff...Don't know if it's been on here as yet... Enjoy BTB

Welcome db1969 & lots of luck with your plans BTB

I've been using that site for about 1yr now, but haven't bought anything as the models are mostely HO & the models of cars, trucks etc. etc. are of a scale that dos'nt fit on an OO Gauge layout, but then each to his or her own !!!

Hi Brian & welcome, & Happy Christmas & New Year, BTB

Just wishing all on here a safe, peaceful & Happy Christmas & great New Year, BTB

Hi & welcome Modelrailwayman00, I'm assuming you checked out the Porsche & the mistress !!! Did nobody tell you this model railway thiing can get expensive, very !!!! BTB

Hi Peter, Anyrail & SCARM are two I have heard of but not sure what the sotuation is regarding N gauge, should be ok, I have not used any of these except to play around with & that was Anyrail, which seemed to be ok, but someone on here has used SCARM & are happy with it, best of luck anyway BTB

Although I never had the pleasure of doing business with your shop, by just reading & hearing from the guys on here about the mega service you supplied over the years to the many railway modellers etc. is a recommendation in itself. Here's wishing you & yours a very happy Christmas & all the best for the future. Paul

Hi roxyguy, for what its worth, I have heard they, Rapido produced 2000 units of ths APT-E train, I suppose thats for the World ! It could be the UK of course !! BTB Apologies if ths is going ff tread !!

Just asking, But was that from an eBay, donedeal or adverts ad !!

Well they say the Lord lives a trier, & in the garden, in December, in Winter, in Ireland, go on ya good thing, only A4 could attempt something like that !

Hi can anyone tell me why these coaches are referred to as Cravens ! & why are the Flying Snails facing the wrong way ! TIA btb

Hi bs819 & welcome back to railway modelling, like yourself I'm intending to go DCC when I get my layout down. There are a number of DCC systems available, some I believe are in your price range & of course from what I know it depends on the individuals pocket & choice. There's lots of info on here from members who have tried & tested various DCC systems & will be more than willing to give you advoice on what's available, right now though it might be a bit early ( am / pm ) in the day ! I'll be interested in your progress, keep us posted, BTB
