Thanks DJ, They would be perfect. The only problem would be the price. As I have 8 containers, so your talking about the bones of €400. For the wagons. Anyway thanks again.regards

Hi lads, I have 20ft and 40ft containers 00 gauge. And I am looking for suitable flat wagons to accommodate same. Would anyone have any ideas what I could use? Thanks for your help regards.

Hi what is the correct way to oil a 071 locomotive. Thanks for your help regards

Hi Glenderg I bought them from Lighthouseleds.com Washington US. They came pre wired with resistors. And will run off 2v up to 14 v. 4.99 dollars for a pack of five. Flashing smds . 0402 or 0603 very small and delicate. Postage was 6 dollars. And I had them in 6 days. Well pleased with them , but you have to be very careful as they are so delicate. Cheers.

Hi lads and thanks for your help. Got 3 vehicles done over the weekend. A small bit tricky, as the wires on the SMD were thinner than a piece of thread. Just 2 more vehicles to go. Another fire engine and a ambulance. And I will be ready to place them on the layout. Cheers. IMG_1495.MOV IMG_1494.MOV

Hi I will have a surplus of Polak 5453 ballast that I wish to sell. I don’t know the exact amount yet but should have at least 15 bags left over, But not 100 percent certain at the moment as I am still ballasting my track. If anyone is interested please let me know. There 240g bags and I will sell for €2.50 each plus postage. Here some photos of the product. Regards .

Thanks lads great info, and a great site. Well done. Cheers.

Thanks Eoin for the great info. What is a pinpoint Oiler? And am I correct in saying that sewing machines oil would be ok to use? Thanks again for your help regards.
