  1. 304.8mm
  2. Probably, although I'll wait till I need to make a bigger order. Siding isn't final either. few sets of points left over that i need to do somthing with. VID_20220512224429.mp4 One of the more straight forward things I've put together the auto reverser is in action. the terminus is isolated and wired through a dual channel relay module which triggers from a hall sensor wired into the feed, as soon as a train enters the section and creates a short. The switch happens fast enough not to be noticeable by the loco which carries on as normal.. now trains can enter the terminus travelling in either direction. You can hear the relay flipping polarity in the video as the train enters and leaves with incorrect polarity
  3. @MOGULstill here. Infact I have more now! Rarely check in here but let me know if you are still interested.
  4. we got a categoric no about a baby GM but little was mentioned about the big boy during that discussion hmm a DMU, maybe thats why we didnt get southern MK2 liveries this time around.. I wouldnt say no to a tokyu or alstom unit in fairness........ they were around long enough to merit interest across many eras and im dying for some toothpaste coaches, although i think they are coming sooner or later c'mon give us a hint. Ballast B sold out last night
  5. somebody order 35 of these so we can get the next announcement
  6. two of my uncles are into model trains and have decent sized loft layouts full of hornby, doubtful that either of them have even heard of MM or IRM........
  7. I believe at some point in the uk it was normal to keep locos idling 24/7 for the above stated reasons, along with grumblings about the batteries not being too good in the cold weather. i remember being on a GAA special as a child, one of my only loco hauled train trips in Ireland before everything went DMU unfortunately. we were at the back of the train and when it got into the station there was a few more coaches than the lenght of the platform would allow. so everyone in the back coaches simply hopped out and started walking along the trackbed towards the platform! wouldnt see that now lol.
  8. Evergreen container at ballina. That has just tripled the value of those ones
  9. Ill tell you one thing, I had this livery written off as an ugly weird looking and bland shade that looked like it had been delivered to the wrong continent when combined with the yellow from any photos i had seen and because of that i never really had any ambitions to buy the model. after seeing this in the flesh today i am strongly considering the model as it has changed my opinion on it entirely.
  10. Ya, with a nice case full with most of his releases to date. They did unfortunately inform me that the mk3s are not expected till 2023 and no mention of the 201 re run when I asked what's coming out soon. IE even had the full belmond set out on display, however unfortunately behind a barrier. This was a brilliant day out.
  11. New Arduino project; auto reverser for wye. Similar to digitrax ar1
  12. sent those on rob, grabbed an extra set when i seen them readvertised as i wasnt 100% sure the time i could go , knew someone else would grab em off me anyway.
  13. have 2 spare tickets for 16:00 for anybody who didnt manage to get one. message me and i can send them on, ill be there for 14:00. no biters and they are going on fb at 10
  14. theres actually a few spots where i wanted to use flexi but unfortunately due to a certain retailers policy of only selling it by the boxload online i unfortunately could not get a hold of any until i get to there shop in person.
  15. excellent! such news allows me to budget towards ye're other wares and put them on the backburner for a while. out of mind
  16. they have neither confirmed nor denied such things as of yet we can only pray that they have set up infront of 071 for a very specific and subliminal reason............... those videos have me excited now.
  17. Hi railer are these still available
  18. Finally managed to get my hands on a high tech hopper loading machine from 1987 Fuelling area is built, I can paint and detail it at a later time. I've been trying to find an accurate representation of this forklift yoke in oo but to no avail. Everything is just too small or too modern. Or both. Took a punt on this yoke for £10 off hattons and although it's hilariously overscale it does lift to roughly the correct height so once the cage is cut down and a 1/76 cab is sourced and fitted I think it might fit the bill just nicely.
  19. at least the model will be more accurate on oo track now
  20. Freshly laid and almost ready to go, ran out of straights for the last two sidings but that was anticipated. A PILE of new containers. Won't live here permenantly but will be on and off trains.
  21. brilliant never thought of looking here! only want 5-10 cages in total for what im doing so wouldnt be too hard to put those together if nothing is available. are they the exact same keg moulding?
  22. on the lookout for either keg flats or just the keg loads that came on their own. if anybody knows of any let me know. Regards
  23. We are the mods! We are the mods! We are we are we are the mods! A suspicious seargent prepares to take a U turn..........
