While not wireless control.... If you're up to soldering components onto a PCB with very good, illustrated instructions to aid construction, then consider joining MERG (Model Electronic Railway Group) and purchasing some of the CBUS kits. For this to work it needs a pair of twisted data wires (7/0.2...

Hi Javis produce "Ballast rolls" i.e. a sheet of pre ballasted material that you simply cut to size and place under the track then pin the track down. There are probably other makes available too? Then there is Foam inlay which is supposed to represent the ballast shoulder and ballast unde...

Hi Your main issue is going to be obtaining a circuit breaker with a low current rating for use on DC. You really don't want anything over 1.6 Amp and ideally 1.0Amp threshold would be the best option for DC track protection. Car/Truck breakers/fuses often don't go that low and using a higher ampera...

The carriages I have need to be connected together in a certain order to ensure the lights work. I'm unsure if that applies to DC (analogue) stock though, as mine are DCC Fitted by Bachmann...

Hi Paul
I cant get to the railway room at the moment to check out the Bachmann part number. But I have the original six car Midland Pullman set (DCC Fitted) and you can see a short video of it running here.. https://youtu.be/6VU40FA3AJQ

Wickes sell reasonable timber, but you need to look at each piece to ensure it makes the requirement. B & Q timber if stored correctly and that's the main issue, is OK but again always check each piece. I live in a medium sized town and have at least four or five timber suppliers within a 5 mile...

Hi all
Has anyone used a Hornby R7326 HM7040: Bluetooth Legacy Dongle and if so does it work as expected with non Hornby products?
