The extra model is being collected tomorrow, hopefully it will be with it's proper owner very soon, cheers.

I got mine and came with a twin 😆, been in touch with HCS as they have sent me some elses as well by mistake, so somebody will have to wait a few more days to get theirs whilst it gets sorted 😀

Mine is due for delivery tomorrow by DPD,

not able to post live links again, this time from a google search on cricket pitch dimensions, op in general discussion,

https://www.google.co.uk/search?source=hp&ei=KPZjXNufI_rOgweTz6PQDw&q=size+of+cricket+pitch&oq=size+of+cr&gs_l=psy-ab.1.3.0l10.5395.11954..14930...0.0..0.103.760.9j1......0....1..gws-wiz.....0..0i131.SyxN4ld8Rcs

i had same issue the other day trying to post a link to ukworkshop for M-R, using FF and Linux, tried multiple times in the end posted a non live text, may or may not be related but FF has had a recent update prior to this, and as far as i can tell had no problems prior to the update, as i think i have published the same link sometime in the past,

most sets usually start with a basic oval, and some have the contents of track pack A, the basic oval contents include 8 r609 curves and 1 r601 straight and 2 r600 straights 1 of which could be the power track, the track pack contents can be found on the website, feeling generous so here is a link, https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/track-extension-pack-a.html

Railway Modeller did a spread on Rod's layout, a few years ago, you can see images if you google rod stewart model railway, he has 6ft high skyscrapers, huge bridges,

Class 43 HST Valenta engine, i know there is already a hst set with these, and tts mtu engine is available, but nothing sounds like the whine of the Valenta, other classes 25, 110, B1, 55, 52.

Rod Stewart, has a 1500 sq ft layout, he was on This Morning today, and said when he was on tour he had flight cases with his stuff in so he could do his modelling in the hotel room in between performances, the hotels even provided extractor fans to ventilate the paint fumes,

it's not the voltage that kills but the amps, piezo ignitors are similar throwing out around 12,000 volts, had plenty of fun at school with one of them, anyone remember the van de graaff generators at school, had some fun with them too,

Whether one would be affected by it or not I do not know. But what about someone with a 'pacemaker' fitted or other delicate electronic medical aids fitted under the skin. Surely, it is best to play safe. maybe so Chris, but as it's only me that will use it, i have got into the habit of discharging when done, anyway it is only like a tens machine, but with a bit more punch, one belt a day keeps your fingers tingling 😆

i have mine wired to the mesh, that way i can earth it each time i finish with it,

Hi Jim, i only use vlc to convert, my preferred editor is either pitvi or openshot, depending on what i'm doing, i have to say though i use Linux Ubuntu as my operating system and not Microsoft Windows, the only windows computer i use is for railmaster to run the layout, and a netbook as a backup,

Hi Jim, i have just got one of these myself, i use the stream/convert feature of VLC, it's free software to download, also when you plug in the cube to your pc, access the contents of the sd card and you will find a polaroid cube EXE file, open it and you can get access to the camera settings, change the lighting to 50hz instead of the default 60hz, and that should solve most of the lighting problems,HTH,

did this one for a bit of fun, hope you enjoy lol,

@HFM_161216, Thanks Kevin, yours is looking great too, i still have a long way to go before i can do any scenic stuff, @Bulver, Hi Rod, it was the Hornby class 47TTS, with the big logo, one of the first releases,

First cab ride view on the upper level of Middletown, sorry about the lighting, will do better in future,

i would like to see a release that works on Linux,

@ planes tv, FFS, if you are that concerned and passoinate about LS put your money where your mouth is and put your hand in your own pocket and produce them yourself,

Hi Caiptean, I have looked at them, but for me it's not worth it, the ones i'm doing are only a rough copy and not meant to be an exact replica, not only that i'm having more fun doing my own bit of engineering than getting stuff off the shelf, thanks for the link though it may help someone else,

a quick update, 1st photo shows a flanged nut which acts as a stabiliser to stop the rocking motion, 2nd photo after first visit to the paint shop, 3rd photo is the central bogie and i have decided to have them fixed rather than a drop in fit, 4th photo shows the wheels and axle converted to a live axle with a little bit of solder, /media/tinymce_upload/eda5b497d193861e13ecfe73c6cbf6c2.JPG /media/tinymce_upload/f741e6b32eae560e349f3a937bca7ea9.JPG /media/tinymce_upload/5622051f28b4948f01a9aaeaa82551b8.JPG /media/tinymce_upload/6837228f6ccaf3025de615ad1f747153.JPG
