    Model railway power supply

    @JohnD I forgot that I started this thread. Thanks to all responders, although it did get a little technical and well above my head. In the end, I took JohnD ‘s advice and opted to use a few separate battery packs to power the differing voltaged units and LEDS. More sensible than my original...

    Driver Updater

    I cannot believe that this has not been asked a million times, but the search facility shows nothing, since 2009. But the search facility is useless, as it is not intuitive. Simple question: Is there such a thing as free of charge driver updater, that actually updates with no charge? Would be...

    Goodnight Sweetheart-homage to OFAH’s?

    Just Googled. I found a 10 year old You Tube on the subject - I can’t believe I had never seen or heard of it

    Goodnight Sweetheart-homage to OFAH’s?

    Just caught the last ten minutes of Goodnight Sweetheart. Don’t know the title or number, but Rodney, sorry, Gary nearly falls through the bar trap, but stops himself than taps the side of his head, knowingly. A few minutes later, a drunk Reg DOES fall sideways, maintaining a vertical profile...

    Real or a set up for the picture?

    Set up. Firemen will spend time on emergency protocols and planning. There is no way that any one of them found be this stupid. Facebook “Like” hunters, on the other hand……..

    If you mean mine, it won’t be terribly exciting. Basic kit with added scenery, for the grand kids. IfI can get around to clearing one of my sheds, I would like to do a big one, if the kids get interested .

    Should I be concerned, given that I sometimes shave with the electric razor plugged in?

    Model railway power supply

    That is a very good idea, presumably the batteries would last a good while, given the low demand?

    Model railway power supply

    I see. Yes they would, of course. Has this failure occurred in practice? I would not be using the PSU for the track, that would be a Hornby Controller, but presumably the same risk is present. The PSU’s will be used for illumination of trackside furniture LED’s, in place of batteries. The...

    Model railway power supply

    Not sure if I am answering your point, but the actual PSU’s will not be accessible to the kids. The idea is to wire everything under the baseboard, with the only items for the kids to touch (apart from the train itself) being the illuminated rocker switches, and a couple of light switches used...

    Model railway power supply

    Yes, that’s what I had , inherited from my older brother. Also a working helicopter that flew off a flat bed, and probably the coal truck mentioned by another, it went over a bridge, and a door opened in the base, dropping the load.

    Re the magnet. As far as I can understand (and re-remember from my childhood large set up) trains use to have a magnet to help stay on track. The problem is that it attracts ferris dust and junk which migrates into the motor , so now is not used. In fact, I read that the recommendation is to...
