Re: Credit crunch railroading...
* The hobby is very much what you make of it. * You don't need this years latest shiny new loco (the original discussion centred around the Genesis GP38-2 which, although undeniably gorgeous , is circa £200 with sound) to participate. Don't fall for the hype. Unless it's what you really, really wan...

Locomotion: Dan Snow's History of Railways
All
Did anyone catch the first episode of this BBC2 series and if so is it worth a watch from a industrial / social historial perspective rather than as a rail enthusiast
Cheers

Re: Layout planning: Batavia, IL
Following my initial post and the resulting feedback I went back and had a think about the design and also, given the amount of modelling time time and money I currently have, how could I get the maximum usage out of a layout. From a combo of comparing design specs for Seaboard Southern and NMRA mod...

Re: how to manage a module meet?
While we haven't got a critical mass yet in terms of the number of modules and thus the issue is not immediatley pressing the control bus compatibility issue is def a question that will need to be addressed. The NMRA Module Spec has, in my opinion, great potential to get members without a local grou...

According to the FAQ on the WiThrottle website WiThrottle will send your train to Idle if you get an incoming call
http://www.withrottle.com/WiThrottle/FAQ.html
Annoying but avoids any unfortunate incidents
Never tested this personally so can anyone out there verify this?

Re: how to manage a module meet?
Koos Me and a few friends run both WiThrottle (Apple IOS) and Engine Driver (Android) on different devices. Out of the two our general preference is for WiThrottle - the main reason being the user interface is a bit more intuative but both are as operationally reliable in operation as each other. We...

Re: how to manage a module meet?
From my experience of using WiFi with JMRI and Digitrax I have instances where a loco selected on a WiFi throttle will suddenly 'drop off' and not respond and can't be recovered by reselecting on another WiFi throttle. However if selected on a regular throttle hard connected to the Loconet and then ...

Re: Layout planning: Batavia, IL
Thanks for the feedback chaps Mmmm....have the agree with you Martyn that the alignment of the 'main' could do with a rethink to get it a bit straighter- back to Anyrail for a tinker. I've also considering turning the cement spur into the lead for some off-scene industries as the existing spur is li...
