Re: Which 3-link coupling? Please show your favourites
Hi Richard Last time we met, I seem to recall we had some discussion about this. I currently use Masokit hooks, double thickness with the hook shaped a little with a file, together with Smiths links - either 3 link or instanter. This seems to provide a good compromise. Fitting the links to the hooks...

Re: Spraying Lifecolor
Hi David I’ve recently been using Lifecolour BR Blue with my airbrush. I found dilution with water worked fine. I also have a recollection of reading somewhere that some makes of thinners don’t work so well with Lifecolour paints. I think any problems I have had in the past have been with my techniq...

Re: Accurascale 24.5t HOP24/HUO hoppers
Thanks everyone for the replies.
New axle drilling tools ordered from DCC Concepts, so this combined with thinning the bosses should work. On some other stock I have previously swapped some wheels onto the shorter axles 25 mm axles, so might look at trying that as well

Re: Accurascale 24.5t HOP24/HUO hoppers
Thanks for Keith and Dave for the replies. I was also thinking that I would have to resort to thinning down the bosses. However I did have the impression from earlier posts that this would not be needed.

Re: Accurascale 24.5t HOP24/HUO hoppers
Having received my TOPs era hoppers a week or two back, I have been taking a look at swappng out the wheelsets. I have discovered that there is zero clearance between the the front of the wheels and the back of the fixed washers on the rear of the W irons, so no free running at all. Any suggestions?...

Re: DCC Train Information System
Saw Mostyn at Gaydon. The screens and the reporting system definitely added a new dimension to watching the trains go by, giving everything a sense of purpose. For a layout such as Mostyn, absolutely worthwhile. One thing I noted was that with the screens to one side close to the fiddleyard exits de...

My New Layout - but no name yet
After my first attempt at a small layout - West End - which I completed as part of the D&E Challenge, I've now decided to have another go, partly spurred on by moving back to the UK, and meeting up with everyone at my local area group (TOERAG). With West End being so small, I decided I would wan...

Re: TOERAG is Alive.....
Awrhyllgwami Quarry was one of the entries for the Society's Diesel and Electric layout competition which took place in 2008. Looks like things are progressing well and we will have to have you back to Scaleforum at some stage when you feel ready. One or two layouts for 2018 are already lined up so...

TOERAG is Alive.....
So there's not been any post for a couple of years, but the group is still alive. Progress has been slow on the extension to Awrhyllgwami Quarry, but things are gathering pace once more. Conversion of the layout into a continuous run has made a significant step forward with the viaduct temporarily i...

Re: Soldering Iron Plug
Following on from David's comment, the compressor I bought for my airbrush did indeed come fitted with a 3 pin conversion plug fitted. That's actually why I knew to look for the adaptor plugs I mentioned in my previous message.

Re: Soldering Iron Plug
If you are not so happy with a shaving adaptor you can also use a three pin plug which clamps around the 2 pin Euro pug. For example ( or similar) http://www.amazon.co.uk/SMJ-PAEUPC-Permanent-European-Adaptor/dp/B004I63BP8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1459628380&sr=8-4&keywords=2+pin+adapter h...

Recommendations for a compact camera
I'm looking to purchase a compact camera to take pictures of layouts and wondered if there any recommendation based on experience. I want something compact enough to be able to get into those awkward spaces on my layout etc.
Thanks very much

Had a great time yesterday, with some excellent layouts on display. Well worth the trip over from Belgium. Fortunately I kept a firm grip on my wallet this year. I'll post some photos when I get the chance over the next couple of days.

Ouch !!! The close up of the station sign on my layout West End is a bit cruel.
Lovely set of pictures though. Any chance I can get some high res copies of my layout?
