Thanks guys, I'm going with Digitrax as the main controller but thus far I have not purchased anything.

Thanks Anthony, I plan on using a Digitrax controller.

Does Toby do anything other than pull Henrietta?
To make life simple I figured I could permanently couple the 2 together and place the decoder and speaker in Henrietta.

There's not a lot of room for a razor saw and all my files that are narrow enough are also very fine and would either take for ever or clog.
But what if I wrap some 80 grit paper around one... mmmm thanks.

Today I started the job of changing the couplers on all my grandsons rolling stock and locos, we are going from the hook and loop to KD couplers. So far I've only attacked rolling stock and the hardest part is removing the small round molding where the screw goes though. I'm using a an Xacto type knife but one it's slow and two there's the chance the knife will slip and I'll loose a small piece of finger.
Anyone found a better way of removing this molding?

Thanks Andy.

How about some yellow police tape around the entrance.

You are correct, thanks.

Who makes OO/HO vehicles that move along a road? Not slot cars. There was a system where vehicles follow a wire beneath the road.

Thanks

DinoNTrains please do me a favour and measure across all 7 sheds at their widest point and from the back of the centre shed to the front of the turntable. I have a full shed and 2 additions unbuilt for my grandsons layout and now wondering if I have room on the main layout or I might have to build an add on portion just for the sheds, kinda modular.

Thanks

I'm building my grandson a layout and for storage need to be able to remove the buildings. Tidmouth sheds is a large building  so here's the question; once built can the roundhouse be separated from the turn table and how sturdy is the roundhouse. i.e. will it fall apart if it gets moved on a regular basis?

Any tips for installing DCC/sound units in the newer Thomas small locos with glued on roofs?

I'm still preparing to start the layout for my grandson this coming winter.
Friends and relatives have bought him Bachmann Locos, what system do you guys suggest I buy?
I am told that some of the Bachmann Thomas locos will be difficult to convert, is this true?
We would like the system to produce sound too.

Anyone tell me how well these go together, are they realistic, will they accept weathering, will ground cover (Ivy) adhere to them?
I would like to know before I mail order them from the UK as they are not available here in Canada.

Thanks guys.

Does everyone stay with the stock Bachmann couplers?
Will the Thomas rolling stock accept KD's or some other coupler to make them compatible with non Thomas rolling stock?
Or alternatively can the Bachmann couplers be fitted to other rolling stock?
Are un-couplers available for the Thomas rolling stock.
