Can you control the locos vis bluetooth using railmaster or do you need to use the app. I like the wireless control but I ALSO LIKE THE RECORD OPTION ON RAILMASTER

Thanks That sounds promising

Hi Does anybody know if you can load the app onto an amazon Fire Tablet. It does not appear in the list of available amazon apps but I have read some android apps will run on it. Thanks Steve

From what I can glean its sliding rail on the inside for curves

Have ordered some flexi track and have been looking at every video I could find on how to lay. Every video seems to solder the joints but I wont risk that however I think i will solder 2 pieces together for the curves and bend from the centre outwards. I will start practicing my soldering skills and use droppers where possible

Thankyou for your replies. I can see I can easily replace the long straight next to platform is the section on the other side of platform feasible to do in flexi track? also would you replace the oval ends in flexi as well? I know you can get templates to assist in forming. The sidings in the middle are non working so can use some of the track I already have there.

Hi I am making a new tt120 layout that will be under the glass of a glass top table, I am constricted for size and the layout I want will consist of quite a lot of 3/4 length straights which will mean using a 1/2 and a 1/4 straight together. The track will be permanent so my question is Is it better to cut a full length straight down or use the 2 shorter lengths together. My soldering skills are woeful so soldering the joints is a non starter. I am looking for reliability and was thinking of using a conductive glue on the fishplates, some of the joints even though the track is new seem very loose and I searched the web to see if you can tighten but could not find a conclusive answer

Its a railway that is going under a heavy glass dining table top, so is more of a feature than a layout for running trains, I was looking for reliability. its going to be powered by battery. and the overall size is 29.5" x 62" (track can go right to edge of these dimensions)

Hi I would like to have to loops of track with a crossing using anyrail I have come up with this using a 8018 crossing and 8014 267mm rad 7.5 degree curves. Is there a better way and will a flying scotsman with pullman coaches work ok . I will move the crossing a little further away from the points.

yes will add a fuse thanks again, just searching ebay for something to put the switch, controller and fuse in.

Thankyou so much for your help, thats just what I was imagining but wasn't sure if it would work

I have a glass top dining table and in process of building a box below to take a couple of loops of track. I will be running the flying scotsman bundle which consists of loco and 4 lit carriages. I would like to run this from a rechargeable battery pack sited under the table. with a separate knob to control speed or a simple on off switch with say speed set half speed any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. I would like the train to run for a minimum of half an hour (there track would not have any inclines)

I have been googling oo snow plough and the only option that may fit on the front of a loco looks like Bachmann 36-068 Class 37 Loco Snowplough, whilst I can find lots of photos of the part I cant find any more info ie how it fits. or photo of it fitted to anyting. I realize I will have to adapt somehow but if anyone has an image of it fitted that would be great.

Hi I am building a high level single oval of track in a conservatory/orangery. One of my concerns as the track is not visible is the possible derailment by dead fly's and bees. Being a conservatory we get a lot fly's etc that get trapped by the glass lantern and although many do escape many get caught in spiders webs or just die naturally and whereas they would normally drop to the floor the ledge I have created for the track will I am afraid get littered by the bodies. I am installing a perspex fence to prevent a derailment and the train crashing to the floor but I would like to prevent derailment's caused by dead insects. My initial thoughts are some type of cow catcher. The train and loco I am proposing would have been something like a Flying Scotsman pulling orient express style coaches. This track is more a feature than a train layout If anybody has any ideas on what I could use they would be very welcome

Thanks for the help, I am downloading now.
