The Roco WLANmaus, is a great bit of kit.

These Kato single track bridges, can't wait to put them on my new ripped up Roedann Viaduct layout.

And these Kato Train Set cases, really nice but i had to pay import duties from Japan, not really happy about that, i my well sell these for the price i paid for them. I won't be buying anymore. lol.

Got the bridges from Japan brand new and far cheaper than over here and no import duties to pay. The Roco WLANmaus i tried out before ripping the track up of the layout, i am going to be using Kato Unitrack, it's far easier and better for me and i can do a lot more with it, the points are great with built in motors, so need for any extras or wiring (soldering is a bit of a nightmare) but was getting there with it, but all the messing about setting up the soldering iron was a bit of a pain, plus saves on electric, now a bit more money for some goodies. The cases i may or may not use for my train packs. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanks for sharing, I didn't know the Multimaus existed. Might pick on up at some point for my Z21, depends if the tablet and 2 smart phones are enough for all points and trains.
Import duty and tax seems hit or miss. Those Kato boxes are very nice though. I have a couple, but they can take a bit of foam cutting to fit some UK stock.

James is very good with any help you need for what ever reason. :thumbsup:
Could not agree more over the superiority of Kato Unitrack. I have been happy assembling and then reassembling and then some more, until I start to see a configuration that makes perfect sense and also looks good. Only then will I start fixing it down permanently
You are spot on @cohort (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=5466) The versatility of Kato to put down and take up and change so quickly is brilliant and don't let those rivet counters tell you otherwise, i have seen some excellent layouts that when they have been ballasted properly you would find it very hard to tell it was Kato. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
This is my latest acquisition.

They are going to be used on ROEDANN VIADUCT for the points. :thumbsup:
I pre-ordered a Kato Japanese C12 tank engine. I don't know when the actual delivery will be but I'm still working on its diorama anyway, small industrial site setting. A circle of track is on its way to try these engines out.

Love those Japanese steam engines. There is something subtlely unique about the look of them
This is my new Acquisition, ok it's 2nd hand but try and get a Crab for £30 and a great runner from anywhere else at that price. Wanted one of these for such a long time, only thing is a want it to run DCC, does anyone know who can do it for me.

It needs a good clean and the top of the tender whats a touch of paint, but i love it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I have three Poole Farish crabs that I won't part with because they run so well, one of their better efforts.
@Steamie+ (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=5847) Have a word with @Only Me (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=1328) . He might be able to help.

I got this little beauty at a local swapmeet for the equivalent of £56 DCC fitted, it runs beautifully and I'm really pleased with it. The only snag was not knowing what model of decoder it was and what the address was. In the end I removed the decoder and put it into another loco. I will wait till someone at our club can help.

What a beautiful little loco that is, i love the colour. :heart: :heart:
I would love mine to be Crimson Red like they have on the East Lancs Railway. Has soon as i saw this loco i loved it. It is such a great bit of engineering which is what i look for in the locos, thats probably why i love Steamers more then Diesels, but then again there are some really nice Diesels also, i like the older models though, the new ones don't do a lot for me, but you can never say never can you. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I suppose i should have named this thread "Whats Your latest Loco and Rolling Stock" but i thought it would be more of a general thread, were members could post what ever they had just bought or acquired, not just Kato related, it's for any make or brand, be it locos, rolling stock, buildings, or anything that they have just got for their layout.
Still it's early days and i hope there will be more interest in the thread at a later date.
Happy Modelling Everyone. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Try this link it shows decoder identification and how to reset to default settings (usually set CV8 to 8).

The "CRAB" is back from @Only Me (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=1328) and what a great job he has done with it, it runs great and the service is also great, and a bonus he painted the little bits on the Tender.

She looks good doesn't she.... :) :)

This little Class 04,

And this Class 55 DELTIC for which i have been after for a long time,
(http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/gallery/52/5847-240617210808.jpeg) (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view&id=52892)

I got them both from Hattons cheap on a deal they were offering me because of my recent purchase from them.
I will be wanting the 04 to be chipped hopefully and i have a decoder for the DELTIC, so hopefully i can run them both DCC'd. :) :)
These also came this morning, only ordered them Friday morning, 2nd hand again so i will be hoping to get them both chipped and serviced again by @Only Me (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=1328). He did a great job on my "CRAB".

Only thing is i think the Tender hook up is a little bit old fashioned and a bit hard to join up, oh well not to worry, for £65 for both it will do me, unless a member can come up with something to connect them permanently. :) :)

Really? I've always found them simple to connect, and of course remember it's also carrying power pick-ups from one side of the loco wheels (the opposite side to the tender pickups)
Look after the old Jube, a classic model of it's time. Check the tender underframe/keeper-plate isn't breaking down with fatigue, and don't overload it as the motor commutators have been known to melt and deform if overheated. Tricky to get another motor these days.

Thanks for your reply ntpntpntp, i have only said it's a bit hard because i haven't seen one like it before and i only did it once too run it on my running in track to see how she ran.
I will look after her i assure you, she is a fine looking loco isn't she. :)
