Thanks for the previous help on Tortoise motors.
Does any one know any model shops, preferably in the South [1] of the UK that stock
- US outline models
just come back from Canada with some more models and although I'm keeping my British outline stock I've decided I like the idea of running sessions with long trains. I'm also not too bothered about being totally accurate prototypically so will run all sorts of combinations of (diesel electric) US / Canadian stock.
I may even run some of the British stock on the layout every so often just for the hell of it! :-)
- Lenz DCC systems
I am (at last) starting the work for my loft layout. I have decided to bite the bullet and go DCC and, from comments on this site will probably use the Lenz system from the start. Although I'm not ready to buy it yet I'd like to get some advice and if possible see it in action. I'm particularly interested in the plug and sockets used as it will be easier for me to install these as I'm building the baseboards rather than afterwards.
Have Googled for DCC UK but can't find out how to join the 'ring' (can I just lurk there for a while?)
[1] Has anyone had any dealings with Roxley models in Surrey. Their web site doesn't show too much. First impression I get is that the owner(s) are more interested in Post Office stuff with the trains added on, but I'm old enough to realise that first impressions are not always right!Thanks in advance (again)
