Station set on the North Norfolk coast.

Sounds expensive.

A USB at one side, what's at the other ?

Toto

An RJ11 with something attached ?

Off shopping to Meadowhall in Sheffield with SWMBO'd (Wish me luck!)

Not a lot of bang for your buck. I wonder if there is a third party equivalent ?. Seems a bit steep. Never mind once SWMBO has finished the shopping there will be no cash left anyway. Sort of takes away the problem.

I'd hang fire in case anyone else knows of a work around.

Toto

The LocoBuffer-USB to connect my laptop to the Zephyr was about the same price Ron.

I may be wrong, but I think you will only be able to run the Gaugemaster software with the Prodigy.

A couple of photo's to keep you upto date:



and a real streak!






Working on timetables at the moment and get into finishing the scenery once the Summer is finished I think!

Trying out Kadee's and earth magnets, looks interesting!! :)

Ahhhhh ……… Trail blazer

Let us know the results.

Home from Witney, very and soggy and so is the caravan and awning!!
Be on later to catch up when we've unpacked!!

Cheers
Ron

About time too.

Sorry to hear of the weather. The joys of caravanning.

Cheers

Toto.

Could have been worse Ron, you could have been camping



Ed

Very true Ed, very true!!:)

Visited Bourton-on-the-Water model railway on Saturday, full of kids and it seemed a bit 'toy train'-ish although some of the stuff was good. Stopped in the shop and bought a couple of wagons and some more Kadee couplings. (still on trial!)





Also had to buy a camera as the lens mechanism failed on my Panasonic! Got a Canon IXUS which I'm still learning to use!

Cheers
Ron

Some nice editions Ron. Shame about the camera packing in. The Ixus gets a good write up though. You'll enjoy that once you have mastered the basic controls and menu's.

Happy snapping.

Cheers

Toto

I've decided not to go down the Kadee route on Weybourne, much too time consuming, lining it all up and a bit of a fiddle!
So staying with normal coupling and my home made decoupler for now. may try them on the envisaged plank at some stage though as the magnets work well!!

Ron

At least you tried Ron. It's not for everyone.

I'll be trying them myself and the plank will make the ideal testing ground as I will only need half a dozen wagons or so..

Once I've decided what ones to use, I'll check the back to back a gauge on them as well. ……. That'll be two firsts

Cheers

Toto

Seems important to get the Kadee's at exactly the same height, they do a check gauge i believe?

Cheers
Ron

They do, and from what the lads say it is an absolute must when setting the coupler height on the rolling stock.

I think it all comes down to you preferred method of running your railway. If shunting is your thing, and hidden uncoupling points, then Kadees are very popular.

But rule 1 applies. You can always go back and retrofit them once everything else is done should you wish.
