  2. Dear modellers, I am upgrading my DCC system and therefore I have to let my Hornby Select go. Great little set to start or to use as a back up. Comes with power supply and manual. Price 85.00 Euro I live in the north. PM if interested or query and pick up/ postage arrangement Thank you Luc
  3. Dear all, Thank you very much for all your good advice. I have not taken any decision yet. The only thing that any new project will not be for a near future, and it looks like the amount of space I will have available for me will be limited (baseboard 3ft X 1ft max to be able to work comfortably) that's why I could then justify to do sth a bit more detailed and more prototypical. In the main time I will certainly joined the scalefour society and maybe the EM as well. thanks again Luc
  4. Hi Rich and thank you, I was concerned that the sleepers available for P4 would be a bit too short for a 21 mm track gauge, but for a 8ft 6'' length a 32mm length sleeper should be OK, however I presumed that prior the 60's the sleepers used would have been a bit longer. I think that the P4 std length is 34 mm (?) for a sleeper so they should be Ok. I still have a lot to consider but I will certainly move to P4 for my irish modelling in a mid term. I do not like the look of the "of the shelf" OO track anymore. I believe that a hand build track will look much better and it is doable. So if I start build my track I may as well model at 21mm. The conversion of the rolling stock is the biggest concern though. Luc
  5. HI I was wondering if there is anyone among the forum members who models in Irish P4 (21 mm). What I look for is: 1) a lot of advise 2) RTR rolling stock conversion: Can we keep the original wheels or do they have to be replaced, if so what ref (Gibbson or?) Same question for the axles 3) Where can we find a 21 mm track gauge? 4) What is the sleepers width? 5) Is it worth joining the Scalefour Society? Hope that anyone could answer happy modelling Luc
  6. You might be right I was looking at some pic earlier on today and all seems to be white with a black strip. Now Do I want to fiddle a try to re paint the back side? The way is going to be on the layout will be just after a bridge which is my scenic breaker. In other world the back of the signal will not be the most visible. Plus I am not quite sure about having a very clean junction between the back and the front. question question??? what could be best? the counter weight is also not high enough. Luc luc
  7. Thank you all for the good comments, The kit comes with different arms and few spare which is always a bonus. On my model the counter weight is too low, i realised that while painting.
  8. Good afternoon happy modellers, Here is a simplified version of the GSWR signal,
