General Discussion / Re: Royal Train Loco InsigniaLast post by njee20 - Yesterday at 10:07:39 PMFor whatever reason it's only 67006 that's been done. 005 still carries ER insignia. Presumably as part of the renaming of 006.
You wouldn't be the first to get a reply from Brian, but it's a rare occurrence! #5
N Gauge Discussion / Re: Illuminating the NMT Panto...Last post by GlenEglise - Yesterday at 09:54:34 PMI must admit that I am not particularly up to speed on electrical functions so find it difficult to follow what would be needed to make Illuminated Models iitems work on DCC if that is indeed the case.
They have already told me that they work but I would like some confirmation from someone who has used their product. I feel that I am going round in circles with this quest. Does anyone know if the existing items from Illuminated Models actually work on a basic DCC setup? Would a decoder or two be required? GE #6

I am happy to email him and give it a try, you never know, it may be a possibility. Thanks GE #7

N Gauge Discussion / Re: Goods van turntablesLast post by SD35 - Yesterday at 02:14:10 PMQuote from: PLD on Yesterday at 01:43:47 PMLocos were usually not permitted to cross the turntable. Moving the wagons on and off the table and also turning them was usually by rope/chain and capstans as demonstrated. In larger yards there may be some steam powered capstans to provide the power, otherwise it may be the rope attached to a loco on another track, or in the most basic cases horse-power (later mechanical horse/tractor) I have learned something.  | Please Support Us!
