For the techies on here & those who want EXTREME SLOW & and to add to the present topic, here's a couple of Tube vids on DCC I have just come accross, from beginners to experts. Tube 2 has talks about something called " Unstoppable Signal Processing Device " or Power 1, for SLOW ! & I mean SLOW .....
No. 1, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PRynyMy9bYU

Truly great loss to Munster rugby & Ireland. At such a young age & with so much more to give, he will be missed by & remembered by many, condolences to his family, RIP

Its probably better to look out for a used Atlas, Walthers or Bachmann Spectrum loco. The Model Power RS2 is based on quite old tooling, the chassis and running may not be up to current standards.
The Model Power RS2 was originally introduced in the 1960s manufactured for AHM and Mehano in Yugoslavia. I used a few of their N gauge locos. Best described as disposable locos, the only advantage was that the models were cheap even when compared to Bachmann and Lifelike. I don't know if running quality improved when Mantua took over production.

Hi John & thanks, WOW, thankfully my knowledge & value of these & any American models is too say the least nothing short of ignorance, glad I didn't dare encourage anyone to buy this !!!!!!!
-
Anyone on here interested in American stuff, Hattons have this pre-owned & runner on analogue, but not o DCC which it's fitted with,Only asking €29.00 !!!!
-
I've always wanted a 2700, but i despise the bachmann model. Any idea where i could buy a realistic 2700?
Hi bs819, have a look at this, http://www.ebay.ie/itm/331983938523?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Eoin, that's pure craftsmanship, craftsmanship of a higher scale, your attention to detail is astonishing, I can coly look & admire your skills, my hat off to you sir.....
-
Hi all & thanks, & IT no offence taken, the ad do's say o.n.o. I just thought someone might be interested in this & enjoy it & not have it sitting in a box, but I'll take over €300 if anyone wants to offer that....btb

Hi guys, I have this Bachmann Deltic Class 55 DCC Fitted " PINZA " with sound & crew for sale. It's been in its box, in a box as I don't have my layout yet. its in absolute perfect condition & has only been run on my dining room table Xmas 2015, & because of that it probably could do with a proper running in. All accessories are still in the box untouched. I have had the loco id changed to No 1 as I did intend keeping it to run with some of my UK BR stock. You cannot buy this model now from Hattons as its completely sold out & has been for some time. I'm asking for €300.00 O.N.O. It can be collected in Dublin city centre by arrangement or post at buyers cost. Any questions don't hesitate to contact me, preferably by PM.
If anyone on here knows how to reduce this image please do ! TIA

" if a viscus glue is being used and after applying the glue to a DART body print with a standard syringe I can do nothing else for several hours!"
Eoin, your not supposed to lick it. !!!!!!

This has been discussed on here before & I said I was in that shop in the late 60's or there abouts then & I say the same now, so even if you played with the Duchess I say it closed in the late 60's or early 70's,
-
Thanks Barl for posting that, enjoyed it btw mind telling me who counted the rivets !! all 14,000 !
-
Well jhb, I have a clear recollection of having gone into Monk Place Phibsborogh to the "Model Railway shop " on a Sunday morning in the late 60's only to find the door shut & according to the newsagents accross the road he, the owner had bought his papers fron the neighbours shop & returned to his own shop & closed the door, never to open it again !! Now, there are some on here who will contradict what I'm saying,as has been done before on here, some will say the shop was open in the 70's or even the 80's, anyway I'm sticking to my story, is was a long trek from Foxrock to Phibsborogh, & there was no Dart or Luas in those years !!

Hi joe123 & welcome to the site, you'll get lots of helpful suggestions & ideas on here, your plan for a 10 x 3 doesn't give you a lot space but as Glenderg & Dave's suggested a 1st & 2nd radius may work & by using flexi track you may !! get away with it, at the end of the day trying these ideas / suggestions out is the only way you'll find out. I did have track (1st & 2nd radius )on my dining room table number of years past & ran some loco's, co-co diesels & steam, it was not permanent or perfect & certinately as a layout it was not, but it worked & I got lots of pleasure from it,even if was only for a week ! keep us posted on your progress, PS I did not have any flexi track on this ! btb

That's a great find Sulzer201, reminded me of the night when I was about 9, I crept downstairs while the house slept just to look again at a book I had bought that day. Wouldn't mind but the book was in b & w, that was a long time ago & I still remember the moment, slept like a babe the rest of the night !! Thanks for posting
