Far from an accurate scale replica, but I think it captures the essence of the thing, might try a heating van next.

I chopped up an old Lima NCB coal wagon and an old scrap hornby GWR coach, I built myself a lil luggage van .

I think it looks very well, that hairspray thing is a technique from my military modeling days,

Right, try painting a slightly lighter colour, let it dry overnight, spray it with hairspray, let that dry, then the darker shade and dirt etc, then pick at it with a toothpick, upper layers will chip revealing the base layer,

Ooh, the chipping around the roof is interesting,

Having a bit of an issue with one of my coaches, one of the tiny springs which attaches to the coupler assembly is damaged beyond serviceability and the other one is missing, I have emailed accuascale about getting replacement springs but as of yet had no reply, I know a couple of you are involved with them, can you p.m. me if possible. Cheers Mark.

Hay, where did the other C Class come from,

I picked this up today in Smith's toy shop, took a gamble on it being wide enough, only set me back 40 quid.

Na, it was her idea, I had never heard of it before that, but I did have a good root around when we went to view it, didt get into the signal box though, it was occupied

Oh yes, I hadn't noticed the servo motor, in that case do not plug into the AC accessory ports, they need DC power, have you managed to assertain if there is a circuit board knocking about somewhere ?

Provincial Wagons double beet train VID20261025220024.mp4 running through Kilshaughlin on its way to wherever it was they went, @leslie10646 it was great meeting you today.

Wow, memories of my first trainset, the old Joueff, I still use one of the blue transformers for powering up during wheel cleaning.

People might even think you had been railroaded.

Yeah, I was supposed to get married there back in 2017 but they made a balls of the booking.

Can you post a photo of one of your point motors, let's have a look at what's going on there.

You have connections to track one and two that's a DC power source, there doesn't appear to be anything plugged into you AC accessory power source, because points only need a momentary jolt of power, they are usually operated off an AC power source, so scenario 1, if you are providing individual power for two tracks your points aren't connected to your power source, Scenario 2, if one of those track power connections is powering your points, its connected to the wrong terminal, switch them to the AC terminal. See how you get on with that.

Correct, it was the closest station to Dunshaughlin, but the plan is to put a station in Dunshaughlin now.

There is some American outfit who make some sort of digital gizmo for announcements and noises, can't think of what they are called.

Might need a little TLC, but they are family straightforward, there isn't really a whole lot to go wrong with them.

Cool, I'm only down the road, it's a very interesting little spot, I'm actually contemplating building a model of it, when it was a station obviously.

That's what I was thinking, one bad connection on a common return wire and nothing works, thats the middle wire on the point motor, what part of the country are you in, I'm not an electrical wizard, but happy to take a look if it's not too far.

That's a lovely looking C Class

Yup, that's the best plan.

Oh they look well,
