N Gauge Discussion / Re: NGF Wagon/Van 2025 - Ideas...Last post by ntpntpntp - Today at 09:53:36 AMBeing purely selfish I'd love something which wouldn't look out of place in Europe but I know that's not going to happen

Sadly, the options in the poll are all that are available in number. Please keep voting folks. I want to get this started in the next couple of weeks, ideally. And I agree Papyrus, it feels longer to me as well! ![]() ![]() #3
N Gauge Discussion / Re: Illuminating the NMT Panto...Last post by Steven B - Today at 09:09:48 AMIf this is the NMT laser car module then I'd suggest removing the rectifier-diode package (D1 on the board), and connect the decoder's function outputs directly to the pads marked + and -.
What you might have a problem with the number of LEDs and the current they draw - they might need more than a single decoder output can provide. Standard bridge rectifiers do work on DCC but may cause corruption of the DCC signal so using high speed rated signal diodes is recommended. #4
N Gauge Discussion / Re: NGF Wagon/Van 2025 - Ideas...Last post by Bealman - Today at 08:33:52 AMSome folk can't stand wagons like this, but I love em! If I go somewhere, I bring back souvenirs (usually tea towels), but, if they are available, why not railway models?
I have wagons from Kyoto Railway Museum, Minatur Wunderland, and various Peco ones - including Charles coronation, courtesy of @Train Waiting . Bring it on, @Tank ! ![]() #5

I will be purchasing one regardless. #6

Unfortunately as I understand it, they are not an option from the supplier. #7

Or, as Peco also do them, as another possible alternative, how about a Conflat with an "NGF 15" container? Roy #8
N Gauge Discussion / Re: Illuminating the NMT Panto...Last post by acook - Yesterday at 11:25:56 PMBridge rectifiers are designed for mains frequencies, 50/60 Hz (cycles per second for the aged and infirm)
![]() DCC is 8/10 kHz so the diodes cannot react fast enough to rectify the current. Need to use signal diodes as they react fast enough. Alan #9
