General Discussion / Re: Royal Train Loco InsigniaLast post by njee20 - July 06, 2025, 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! #92
N Gauge Discussion / Re: Illuminating the NMT Panto...Last post by GlenEglise - July 06, 2025, 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 #93

I am happy to email him and give it a try, you never know, it may be a possibility. Thanks GE #94

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. ![]() #98

A 10' wagon is a tiny bit too big, it just catches the flanges on the wheels. A missed opportunity by Peco in my opinion. That actually makes them correct for a lot of wagon turntables in the UK. It's one of the reasons the clayhoods were so short right until the end and the BR builds never ended up on modern chassis lengths. #99
