Basically you need to switch the polarity of the live frog with a switch on the bottom of the point motor. I would expect when using hand made pointwork you will use slowmotion pointmotors rarther then the usual peco or hornby type as these have a very harsh motion. Many slowmo point motors have inb...

Depends. Some are harder then others. Basically the decoder has to be wired between the motor and the track pickup. The Hornby HST souldn't be too hard. Allways check newly installed decoders on a programming track before subjecting the model to full track power. If the programming track cannot read...

It would be possible to create steam era activities using Mid East Plus (soon to be released)

The timeframe is baised around the early 70's so it won't look out of place with steam power.

They generally designed the locos around the coal that was readily available - the GWR for example designed their locos to run on welsh coal, Which posed a problem for the coaling of engines as it dosen't like to be dropped. It smaches into dust. Therefore the GWR had to design it's own type of coa...

What you need to do is download the Microsoft Patch from:

http://www.microsoft.com/games/trainsimulator/

The site has changed down the bottom of the page are three links to download the patch (choose the english one )

That should sort you out so you can add the bin patch.

They can still plug an adaption piece into the 7pin plug for the 8pin socket.

There are full fitting instructions with all of SWD decoders.

I've fitted sound to a class 20 and 37. The 20 was the hardest but I just followed the instructions.

SWD will advise you on the best choise of speeker etc.

A few times I've seen impatient people jump over the barriers of the fully automatic crossing outside the station near where I live, does that mean fully automatic crossings are unsafe? I've seen people jumping over the barriers at Lincoln High Street LC. Two 153's were having problems getting unde...

I was told the High St was blocked, I will admit I didn't need to go to the scene.Certainly traffic diversions were in operation for 5 hours.Cheers Jon Did it manage to block both crossings? I was surprised when you said it had blocked any of them considering it was going into terrace sidings. It d...

Maby it's the fact that the red lights are flashing makes drivers beleave that their not as important as say a traffic light. In much the same way that a flashing amber at a pedestian crossing means procede with care maby some drivers beleave that the flashing red lights at level corssings mean the ...

I've posted this on another thread but think that it's relavent here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3989465.stm A rundown of the major accidents on the railway in the last 50 years. They haven't added the latest one to it yet. There's quite a few missing accidents in there. Two that come to my mind...

I'll be there on the Sunday. I'm comeing with the Boston MRS

They just hype things up to make the story more interesting and get their facts wrong in the process.
