It not exclusive because on the Dapol site it says register your interest with your preferred Dapol stockist. https://www.dapol.co.uk/You-asked%20for-it-now%20is%20your-chance yes WTD, after a chat with Rails earlier they have had notification from Dapol but have not yet announced it officially yet.

If anyone missed out on the Rails Calendar offer for the Midland 4F today @£59.50 plus post, I have seen a couple available on Ebay for the same price if anyone is interested. I believe Rails have now sold out. Just search BACHMAN 31-883 (yes spelling mistake is correct :D ) seller has 100% and pric...

Had an email earlier from Hattons advising that Dapol are doing a OO gauge re-run of the popular Class 68 in Trans Pennine livery. They are asking for pre-orders to see if there is enough interest to do a production run. For anyone interested due to missing out on the first production Brutus, now is...

My order has just been dispatched today. I don't think I'll be buying anything from Rails again.

The item purchased was the Bachmann G2A, not sure if any of the other items are also affected by this.

with one loco that didn't have any provision for a decoder I hard wired a 8 pin decoder plug socket in the tender first, should any problems arise with the decoder it's then quick to change.

I have recently installed one from blocksignalling and it is working fine, plus they are quick to respond with advice should any queries arise.

Thanks Rog that seems to have sorted the issue, Why would I need to reverse on this set of points but not the other? @MG I would have no chance at doing that, I can't even manage a s...

Please can anyone point me to a wiring diagram for wiring 2 peco pl11 surface mount point motors to one switch. I have successfully wired 1 set for a loop but I am having issues with the other that I am unable to get them to work in conjunction with each other. When one opens the loop the other one ...
