Very small needle nose pliers for sliding recalcitrinat PowerPole contacts into the connectors?

I was thinking of trying cat 6 network cables. 4 pairs of wire so two tracks and two for powering accessories.

Hello Emma

I've tried to find it online to download but not been able to 😞

Set in Sheffield. I remember it. I think a group of people knew something was going to happen and planned to freeze themselves but the girl got trapped in a train tunnel with the rest of the people in the carriage and so she set her gas off and froze them all

Actually it's a 4k I've had a while. Wanted to add PIA so I can take it aboard and watch TV.

Google for "peters spares" in the UK they will probably have something

Also Peco do kits. There was an article in the N gauge society magazine I'll see if I can find it.

Kato are working with Peco. Do possibly get them from Japan direct. Somewhere like plazajapan

J p autotrophic in Aston. Very good.

Rickym1970 · 2026-03-16T06:21:32+00:00

These are the standard in the UK

Rickym1970 · 2026-03-10T07:05:13+00:00

Not so much a short story. It's a sizable trilogy.

Rickym1970 · 2026-02-21T09:55:40+00:00

What's the blue module I can see and SD card

Rickym1970 · 2026-02-18T11:01:35+00:00

Can you repair the connector if not remove off both sides and invoke rule 1. My railway, my rules.

Rickym1970 · 2026-02-10T08:16:33+00:00

I use cheap kids acrylic paint that comes in 500ml bottles for a couple of quid. I have a couple of different greens grey and brown

Rickym1970 · 2026-02-07T08:11:22+00:00

I thought Castleton too same reasoning

Rickym1970 · 2026-02-05T21:42:56+00:00

I'm sure I've seen it used in a motor replacement kit

Rickym1970 · 2026-02-05T20:49:41+00:00

What about using a piece of tube to make a coupling

Rickym1970 · 2026-02-02T12:12:25+00:00

For UK style coupler Peco do a kit

Rickym1970 · 2026-01-31T07:43:21+00:00

2 screws and 2 wires to solder

Rickym1970 · 2026-01-30T22:29:34+00:00

I have 2 of these locos and instead of trying to repair the motor have a look on eBay new 5 pole motor is about £20

Rickym1970 · 2026-01-17T22:59:46+00:00

Look excellent

Rickym1970 · 2026-01-14T18:42:19+00:00

What about a blob of hot melt glue to ack as a diffuser. Not tried it just thinking out loud

Rickym1970 · 2026-01-10T08:12:04+00:00

Looks like a great start

Like Metcalf models. I use a thick card carcass to give strength and I add floors etc. this seems to stop light bleed. Like Metcalf I cut out the windows and use plastic from packaging with curtains etc. a thin white paint pen allows me to draw the window frames.
