Brilliant with the lights too, looks so realistic and moody!

Thank you, yes. Has given some ideas for my non-rail project -

Always interesting reads @What About The Bee, thank you. I'm really taking a liking to the Era1 rolling stock, even for my clumsy hands -
Out or interest @The Last Ninja, do you "Photoshop" the locos to the background or are they individually photographed?
-
Thanks for the comments. Mistakes happen but when informed of errors it should get amended straight away?! Oh well, I would have done anyway to avoid unnecessary returns.
-
Thank you for the confirmation. I'd missed it had been released previously

I see that the R40436 L&MR, Royal Mail coach is now in stock. The website says it has NEM couplings, but looking at the photo I cannot see any. I'm expecting it however to be compatible with the Lion/Tiger rolling stock, so will come with the same 'hook on' link couplings?

Although not TT, it made me smile that the Austin Maestro was No.2 .
-
I wonder if the track needs to be spotless if cold and not used for a little while? Similarly with the loco contacts?
-
Good to read you sorted it. I fitted the 8 pin decoder version a couple of weeks ago and noticed how loose the plug was in the socket so ended up bending the bins ever so slightly to improve contact.
-
Glad your sorted. Yes, the 'protection' from browsers and AV software gets stronger on anything it suspects, even though, like with RM, its fine. If you hover your mouse over the 1.74 yellow box, it should come up and confirm "revision 5"
-
For me its down to personal preference rather than good practice. If you want to see coaches with lights off in sidings for example, then yes, a switch would come in. If they were battery powered rather than track, then definitely a switch . Otherwise, I'd keep things simple, less to go wrong.

@Bulleidboy, great minds think alike, that's what I'd have done
-
To really simplify things, did you try the led's without the capacitor or diodes, they would then work under half bridge rectification but you my notice flicker and see sensitivity to pick up issues. Might be acceptable though for the application?
-
The level of detail in these TT models is quite impressive from what I've seen from photos / videos! Ignoring stay alive benefits from the power pack, how does performance of a TT HST compare against a OO HST in terms of track pickup, i.e. resistance to stalling on dirty track / points etc?
