[Reliability of TT]

I've switched all rolling stick to magnets.  Using West hill wagon works Hunt magnets. They're great, easy to fit and are functioning well on 27R curves even on the extra close lengths of 5mm.

I've done the same. No problems so far.

Just downloaded Thanks for link

[Aerial view of layout so far]

I am aware of the similar hill in Edinburgh in fact I have visited it. TBH I hadn't thought about it at the time of naming.

[Aerial view of layout so far]

Arthur's Hill. Not based on anywhere in particular. Small village that has a station because of the industrial area that has spread from the main town. Still very much work in progress.

[TT:120 Storage]

Really useful A4 box with foam inserts for carriage and loco storage.

Thanks Dodge you've solved for me how to line the boxes I had for Christmas. Foam ordered from Amazon.

Manure doesn’t age well 🤣

Meanwhile back to vehicles in TT:120, hope Oxford die cast are spurred on to expand the range sooner rather than later and start matching vehicle eras to the rail models available. There is a distinct lack of lorries that needs the Oxford Diecast touch. These are great models and I think good value, it’s no wonder they sell well 😁

I agree there is a lack of lorries. I need some for my industrial area to flourish.

[Oxford Diecast Top 10 - 2023]

I hope this result for Oxford Diecast will spur them, and others who maybe waiting to see how things go, to start producing more for our scale.

Pleased to say Night Hawk is fine after visit to Hornby.

[Night hawk]

I sent mine back to Hornby. I'd tried bending the steps out as advised on an earlier post but it failed to work for me. I was worried about snapping them off. I got it back late today. Not tested yet. Will let you know result tomorrow if my Wi Fi works.

[Burning out turnout clips]

Thanks Fishy a closer inspection before power up after additional feeds fitted me thinks. Thanks to all for their input.

[Burning out turnout clips]

Thanks Rob. The link is very useful. Having read it I can see my error.

[Burning out turnout clips]

Advice required please. All was well now I keep having turnout clips overheat and are melting plastic. Attached is diagram of my layout. All points have clips at present (do they all need them?). Arrow indicates 15 volt power supply. there is no missing rail I've used some flexi track.

[Does anyone else feel Let down by Hornby?]

I did consider N gauge but was swayed by TT:120 being slightly larger as arthritis in the fingers makes small difficult. I bought the Easterner set. I pre ordered the 08. I fitted the decoder to my A4 and bought the 15v power supply on the strength of the 6 pin decoder being here this year.

Now seriously considering whether to abandon TT and Go with N gauge.

[What did you receive today?]

My 08 all run in and running well.

[TT Club Magazine]

Mine arrived yesterday also.

[08 Pre order arrived at Hornby warehouse!]

No DPD or Hornby despatch notification for medisappointed_relieved Money was taken on Tuesday!

[08 Pre order arrived at Hornby warehouse!]

Glad it's coming.

Shame no decoder.

[Millwood begins (my layout).]

Very good. Wish I had that much space!
