    Can I have an era 5 one please🙏

    Why do Hornby make it so difficult to find the new catalogue? The only way I could get it was from Dodge1965's link.

    @Rallymatt I agree that including the area needed for a layout is great, the only issue is the units. What is 3.25mx1.25m in real money???🤔🤣

    If you're sticking with DC, a good quality controller will improve the running of the locos no end and get rid of that annoying motor buzz. I'd go for a Gaugemaster, they have a lifetime guarantee even if bought second hand as long as any secuurity tabs are present. I'd go for a DS unit just in case you do decide to expand, you can get them for about a 100 quid if you search ebay.

    Yep, that's the one. I've got the track and a 6x4. I just need to build it.

    That looks to be the same layout I have used as 'inspiration' and have bought the trackwork for, except it's missing 2 sidings, one in the bottom centre area and 1 on the very bottom of the picture.

    I don't know what the forum rules are, but I for one would certainly want to know about bad/poor retailer experiences so we can avoid having to deal with them. Likewise it would be great for people with positve experiences to give a mention to the good retailers so we can support them.

    Even with HSTs, personally I would rather pay extra and have all of my locos powered. ie Two power cars and NO dummy car.
  9. david_watts1
    That looks better, certainly easier to use and you have storage for 9 locos and/or rolling stock while still having space to try out those scenic skills.

    Nice looking layout, just one question: There is a long siding coming out of the engine shed left hand portal, how do you actually get long trains onto it?

    By the look of the picture, I'm off to call Ghostbusters👻 Oh no, I've got the silly tune in my head now🤣

    Anne Hathaway's cottage in 1/125 by Little Dart from an ebay seller, it weighs about a kilo, so must be solid polystone or similar.

    If the screwdriver tips are not hardened, won't the drivers fail before the screws? Plus how many screws are that tight in models for you to worry about it?

    There used to be a fantastic Fish and Chip shop in Matlock about 45 years ago, it was a mid terrace house and you went up the garden path to it, Run by an old lady called Winnie. No signs, the only way you knew it was there was by local knowledge.

    Never mind about the 9f (of which I need all 3) or the Duchesses (of which I also need all 3), what about the 700 quids worth of Stanier coaches that are imminent or the 200 quid I've just spent on buildings, coach etc. I need to find a cheap hobby like strippers and coke.🤔🤣
