I’m very pleased to report on a positive move forward for the Cyderbelt Division by the Avalon Group, a small group of American modellers who operated their layout at the Crewe NMRABR convention in 2022. Until recently the group met monthly at Monkton Combe Village Hall, but have now moved to a very...

Looking good, very much like the building weathering which can always look a bit overdone if not careful!!!

I emailed N Scale American Trains, who also stock some HO items, as they stock a small amount of TruColour paint and I copy Tony's reply below--- Hello James I stock a basic & small range but can get to order, their colours, it may take 4-6 weeks but I'm happy to take orders. Thankyou for thinki...

Mick.

Thanks for the update. I have rang a number of times over the last 2 months asking about these paints being told they are on order and should be here in the next 2 or 3 weeks. Disappointing as we US modellers need a supply of railroad paint.

Happy Model railroading.

I'm pleased to report National has now sent me April, May and June issues in bulk!! I am waiting on July and when these arrive I will be sending out missing copies to all those who contacted me regarding this matter. If other Members have continuing issues with delivery of The NMRA Magazine and or t...

An update... I have now had a conversation with Steve at Model Railway Solutions, he has told me the order for Tru Colour paints should be with him in the next three weeks. It would appear the road to getting these has been long and a lot of hard work for Steve so I for one will be supporting him. I...

Koos. I will ask a question here knowing the last one was posted back in 2015. Has anyone one found colours as supplied here in the UK/Europe thats can be used by us US modellers? If anyone on here know of any perhaps a list could be started to aid other NMRA/US modellers! It's not all over yet so t...

Hello Mike.

Hello. I have an Arthern F7 I have installed a new sound chip into, a TCS 21 pin sound decoder & motherboard. I using a Digtrax 150 system. I have tried to readdress the loco from 03 to its road number, 4 digits, but its not taking it. It will however accept a 2 digits. Last night I gave it one ...

Koos. Are there any updates that you can post on here, please? I would guess that as we start to get closer too, gosh what a thought, 2022 there will be a need for local NMRABR members to volunteer for jobs to support the Convention Team, so would suggest that could well be listed here also. I am lo...

Morning all. I ordered more Decoder Buddies from https://nixtrainz.com/ no connection with business other than as a satisfied customer, along with some of his LED's but note from the tracking they have been held up at US customs for almost a week. Perhaps to check out the wiring? They are on their w...

Lee.

You are very welcome. It is a shame this Forum is not used a bit more as, I believe it's a super toll for all!!

James.

Hiya Lee.

In case you have been unable to find one, today I needed to ring Mech Models so asked Barry about the HO NMRA Gauges and was told they are in stock.

Hope this helps. Stay Safe.

James.
