  1. Why do I get the feeling that when we do finally see some new stock that it going to be very, very expensive. I want the LMS, early BR and late BR coaches (anything era 3,4 and 5) plus wagons and the locos.cold_sweat
  2. I'd just be glad to see some new stuff so I can spend my 20,500+ points.
  3. I don't know if the stuff is any good or not, but at that price, I'll stick to IPA or Meths / track rubber and elbow grease. Great video though.
  4. The Arnold Station Building, £29.75 delivered, Bargain. It actually comes in two bits so you can have them as farm house and cottage maybe. @Chris, you might want to run a track rubber over that to help the train run better.
  5. For any one wanting a late Xmas present, Hattons has the Arnold TT:120 engine shed and station for over 50% off. Bargainsunglasses
  6. Might be an idea to lose one of the inputs and just swap power supplies with the one so DC and DCC can't accidentally mix.
  7. Personally I hope we see the era 3/4 and 5 LMS coaches and Duchesses before April, but the longer they take to arrive the longer I get to keep my money (or 20,000+ pointsblush)
  8. Is it me or are the digital magazines really hard to find on the site?? thinking_face
  9. It's a real shame they were unable to get any actual TT:120 stuff out for Xmas, I was really hoping for the LMS coaches.
  10. I'd go with a digital set, the value for money is great.
  11. Nice tree, especially since it was free. Does it still have the root attached so you can plant it in the garden for next year?
  12. WOW !!!! I hope they do that in TT:120. I'll get the Weihrauch prepped now.joy
  13. When I was on analogue I used a Gaugemaster DS unit with no issues at all. I swear by them for DC use. The lifetime guarantee alone is worth the cost and it's valid even if you buy second hand as long as the security tabs etc are in place.
  14. Without checking, could you remove one wheel set from each bogie and turn it around?
  15. Has any one tries using a small Balsa wood block instead of a rubber or the Noch 60159 / Gaugemaster GM3910901 axle hung cleaners? It looks like Roco will be making a wagon Roco 6680005 Gauge TT ROCO Clean rail cleaning trolley from DR modellbahnshop-lippe.com Also Tillig Tillig 95291 Gauge TT Schienenreinigungswagen der DR, Epoche III modellbahnshop-lippe.com
  16. I'd definitely be getting in touch with Gaugemaster and get them to check the controller, from your description it sounds like some sort of power spike when you switch on the controller. Six or seven faulty motors is just silly, it's got to be the controller or track.
  17. With 6 motor failures I'd be checking the controller. Gaugemaster have a lifetime guarantee if it does turn out to be that.
  18. I had poor sound on my Falcon. I just replaced the prefitted speaker with the wired one in the box and all was OK.
  19. I would suggest you contact West Hill Wagon Works and see when they intend doing them in TT. They have them for OO, so it's only a question of scaling them.
  20. @Skelton I use Hunt magnetics. I have found that it is easier to change them if you completely remove the coupling assembly and trim the end you insert into the nem pocket, only by a gnat's whisker, but they work a treat. I used the standard 'close' ones for this.
  21. All I know is that the models are well detailed and I can have an extensive layout in a small area and they aren't as fiddly as N. So do I care about an odd mm here or there. No. I love TT:120 and hope it goes from strength to strength and more manufacturers jump on the band wagon. PS I wish they'd make the buffer shanks overscale so they are less delicate, I've had to replace many buffers in OO, I don't want to start in TT.
  22. Hopefully the Xmas bus will keep the kid happy while you play with 'their' train setjoy
  23. The non sound Falcon I received about a month ago had the limited edition first release of the whistle, cab looked OK from what I can remember.
  24. So much for Gronks only doing 15mph tops. 24mph IIRC on the 09 version. I wonder what that equates to in ft/sec or m/s in TT:120thinking_face
