Too Tall

As title, I can find them easily in 2 pair packs, but that is quite pricey. They must be available in 10+ pair packs, but I can't seem to find any ?

If you need conversion for measurements, a search engine will bring up plenty of conversion pages 😏 Here is the track plan for Millwood using Hornby/Tillig track: And here is one I was working on for the next layout, before I decided to change scales. This is with Peco track, but as SCARM does not yet have the peco x-overs in its library, i temporarily used the Hornby ones for the plan. The Purple track would have been hidden incline and declines (1.9%), allowing the branch line a short airing on the upper level and access to and from the mainline. The black is a single track base level branch line with shunting able to be done without entering the branch line itself, the blue is the upper level dual main line, and the green is the upper level part of the branch line and shared access to the turntable.

Cheers gents, I have not heard a 28mm old school speaker myself, hence I didnt know if they might be as good as newer but smaller ones. Usually bigger = better with speakers in this size !

Good job again guys 👍

My going home set arrived, and was indeed new sealed and mint. It did have an issue .. no pickup working on the loco wheels (tenders were fine). After taking the loco apart to find no issue, I then found culprit in the tender ... a wire had broken off the 8 pin board, a quick re-solder and all is well 😊 I am perfectly happy with the older model !

Hi guys, I realise that the 28mm speakers are long in the tooth, so my question is are they decent or are there better alternatives to fit ? I did find a bass enhanced 27mm but it was only 4 ohm, and I understand Hornby decoders need an 8 ohm.

Ok sounds like a plan. TBH I have no idea what would sound similar so that's a help. Is the Prairie likely to be done does anyone know ? Also what might be similar to a GWR pannier ? I could always use a non BT sound decoder TBH, as my 00 layout will have its own controller, but HM7k decoders are cheaper and make it a breeze to adjust settings, but IDK if say, adjustments to accel decel settings made on BT will remain once its under DCC control ?

I can understand no profile for Locos that Hornby haven't made as DCC ready, but there are some missing that are ... unless I am missing it (more than possible !) I have a Hornby DCC ready Large Prairie, but I can not see it on the list ?

Finally bit the bullet today and ordered an alleged BNIB Going home set for less than the cost of the new tooled Black 5. Having recently received a GWR 61xx Prairie of the same manufacturing era, and being perfectly happy with the detail on that, 3 coaches with nem pockets and the older black 5 seemed the better deal for me as I still have a lot to get ! I also got a SH 3rd (described as mint) and a NIB 1st to add to it, I guess I should get some track to run them on once I have finalised my board sizes 😁

I am really missing this part !, several nice model railway related deliveries over the last few days, but all 00, so I'll get a telling off if I put them here 🙁😆

Good job guys, nice to see them being upfront and addressing things, something we (or maybe just me) feared may not be the case after SK left. It certainly looks like TT120 is in safe hands, and your questions covered a lot of ground 👍

A die cast running plate would certainly help the weight, and could be a good upgrade, would have thought they would list that as a feature ?

Looking good, a huge long space you have there too 😎

Cheers guys, with the numbers provided I have located some of the same series coaches, and although you can see the nicer detail on the new release loco, I actually think I prefer the older one as its less garish ! it also seems the older ones are superb runners from the you tube channels I found so I am sorely tempted !

Hi a couple of questions I hope someone can help me with: 1. Is the new release black 5 significantly different to the 2015 model in the Going Home pack ? 2. Could someone let me know the Hornby R numbers for the high detail LMS Stanier coaches to match the ones in the set should I wish to extend the train ? Thanks 😊
