Probably end up like the Bachy 222...

Best bet is look through a N Gauge catolgue and pick out the locos you like, then just see whaich has the majority and model that region.

More Bachy 220s are due this year...around Autum IIRC.

AFAIK the firmware update is to do with reading the CV values properly. The Elite seems a good system, Model Rail's review certainly a swaying factor as is the dual control, in honesty Im not sold on the Dyanmis and its "joystick" style control....whats wrong with rotary knobs? Lenz are a pretty...

I would advice you to use as much space as you have and stay away from set track becuase after a while the tailchasing layouts get boring. Mine is a loop with a station, goods yard and depot nestled inbetwwen with scenic breaks makes it interetsing to watch.

Peco do AWS ramps 2 for about £1.50. Hornby do some Scaledale lineside stuff which is quite good. Knightwing do a lot of modern image ideal stuff so well worth a look with them (can be sourced from Gizmogles expressmodels link). Signs of the Times (closed last month sadly) was am excellent...

Acrylic is also non-toxic and water soluble I think? (well mine are) so **** ups when weathering are easily washed off.

DCC is the way to go, but I cant stress how important it is to kep your old DC controller. Remember before you do chip a train to DCC always ensure it's been fully run in on DC before converting it to DCC!

Lenz Set 90.

Tried Gaugemaster or Ebay (Express models have a shop on there) for it?

Bachmann Green centre headcode 37 with small yellow panel Blue Class 25/3 (well it is me ;)) Hornby Green 08 Coaches Bachmann Blue Grey Mk1s - BCK, SO Modern units Central Trains 3 car 170 (left over from modern layout days) Kettle 4472 - to be sold for a peak. All models...

I used XtrkCad (freeware) to do mine.

No. Because the other sound locos (the rat :p) also has a price on it too. So it seems anyones guess whats next from China!

Two Class 25s? One in Green and one in blue with sound...that'll do nicely bachy, many thanks :)

I tend to try and include as much as I want from a layout and fill any spaces with what would be appopriate - current layout has terminus station, dmd and goods yard!

Yea, your best of with Bachmann for value for money tbh. Only hornby items I own are the DCC which is pretty damn good! Bring on the new Bachmann 47s - MY LORDZ

Update: Decoder fitted and runs very well and very smooth still can't get over how small the hornby decoders are!

Decoder arrived! Came alongw ith some other railway stuff I ordered including another Metcalfe kit, CJ Freezer plan book (already found a really good one I'm gonna adapt for my layout) and a Diesels in Depth: Class 24/25 book (utterly brilliant) and a SMP pointwork kit. Looks like I've got...

Centre headcode like my bachmann one, mines in BR green with small yellow warning panel, if you want some reference shots give us a pm. Good luck!

Come on then, whos got DCC and what controller?
