Lads,

 

Just got my 201 Decoder from Model Shop Belfast, here's a little video of her in action...

 

210 gets delivered to the engine shed by 086 before first startup. She takes on diesel at the new refuelling point then she's tested hauling a rake of Mk3's. Enjoy!

Very well done thump. Every part of it looks great, and tidy video editing too! I thought when the 201 had refuelled there might be a splash of dirt starting around the tanks afterward....gotta say the sound is more appealling with that setup.

Impressed with your mk3 super train rake,can I ask

John-r, the MK3's are my own repaints. I used a rake of older Hornby Mk3's which I believe are a little short to be prototypical but I think they turned out well. If you look on my workbench thread you can see how I went about it - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/77-Graham-s-Workbench/page2

 

As for the DCC sound I'm sold on it myself! I know it's not everybody's cup of tea but I really enjoy the "driving experience" with sound equipped locos.

Excellent stuff Irish thump-Your driving skills and use of the various functions are top class, lovely looking layout, well done.....:tumbsup:

Having watched your video again, you can also use the F9 button on the curves to give the flange squeal to good effect.

Not just me, the three complaints the mod team received about your use of excessive capital letters. Let's not play silly beggars. We're all adults at the end of the day ;)
