That's interesting. Can't get them to work as in they're not DCC-controllable or they don't work at all?

Very nice on all fronts me thinks!

Sadly tank wagons are not an option hence the 3 options in the poll

I have all sorts of commemorative wagons so another van would fit in well, maybe with just simple lettering stating 'NGF - 15th Anniversary.

Gosh, is it only 15 years? I feel like I've been a member for a lot longer than that... 

But, yes, I like the idea of an NGF beer wagon. Or tanker?

Cheers,

Hi Nig,

The light modules from Illuminated Models are still available.

The problem appears to be that they are not suitable for use on DCC.

The modules themselves work fine on DC but getting them to work on DCC is proving to be a problem!

I think that's really what Brian is trying to work out. We have them in 4mm and they work on DC, but even using a function decoder cannot get them to work with DCC.

I'm confused as to what the selling point was. the music or...

Ooo, you sentimental old thing you.

Here's some alternative information that could be 'manipulated' along that theme...

15 yr anniversary, traditional and alternative themes:

Watches     Maybe a clockmakers van?
Crystal     Maybe a glass manufacturers van?
Red         We've done red so what about...?
Ruby        A red alternative?

That's it, that's my half-a-groats worth of input.

If it is a van type, then how about a beer wagon with the lettering in silver as another post suggested. May be 'N.G.F. Brewery' or other text with N G and F in it somehow?

Cheers!
