  1. What a sad sad time, and such a tragic loss.
  2. Thats a great article ! I like the idea of removing the studs and feeding the adjusted fish plate through the holes! I may even use that for my power functions!
  3. Thats an impressive model! how long is it?
  4. I have heard of people using the Atlas O gauge flex track, not sure if its available in the UK though
  5. Thanks for sharing!
  6. I believe the "large rubber rings," are just like lorries and are air ride suspension bladders. The rubber balloon is filled with compressed air to give a smoother ride. http://toplinehb.com/wp-content/uploads/0611ch_05_z+schwartz_chassis+air_ride_suspension.jpg
  7. Sorry if this has already been hashed out but... what is the maximum wheel distance apart that we can go of fixed wheels without the train jumping tracks? I am using the large flanged wheels as used in the Emerald Night. thanks
  8. Does it have power functions? Also I think the center wheel on the shunter will have a problem, it needs to float.
  9. These are some great models!
  10. Cant see the pictures
  11. your idea would be a fun cuusoo project, I think a 5v voltage regulator will regulate any voltage above 5v so you wont get a voltage ramp. you will also need a fairly adequate heat sink to discharge the heat from the regulator best idea is to use a 5v transformer , hope that helps
  12. Would this be a good guide to use then? (adjusted Tony's Theory) http://www.flickr.com/photos/116392714@N02/12307933053/
  13. I just started to design the British Rail fleet from the 80's period, and wanted to start on a good width. I agree with you the 6 stud looks too skinny and tall
  14. What is your preferred MOC width? 6, 7 or 8 stud?
  15. - Emerald Night - TGV - City Cargo (yellow) - in the middle of ordering from brick link the parts for my Class 455
  16. Would love to see your flying Scottsman when its complete.
  17. A dooms day machine? on rails.....
  18. Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=111265491148&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
  19. I am just to embark on a new Power functions layout and would love to see all your home creations, setup and layouts
  20. I was late in the game in getting an Emerald Night, I am excited for it to arrive in a few days, I think your tender mounted PF motor is a great idea. Why do you have two cables running to the Engine?
