Does anyone here have a Z21 Start with a MultiMaus? I'm having bizarre programming issues and was wondering if anyone could assist. I go through the programming menu, program stock and then it just isn't done. At all. No error, no obvious reasons.

Quick bit of begging. For sentimental family reasons I would absolutely love to get my hands on the "as preserved" S&DJR Anniversary model of 88 that Bachmann released a few years ago. That's the one in a display box in lined Prussian Blue. Does anyone on the forum have one they'd be willing...

So this happened today... So PECO had decided British TT is back. It's a scale I've always been surprised never came back as space became tighter in homes but N is a bit small for some features. While it never really died on the Continent it is very much moribund in the UK and has been for...

So I recently purchased my first sound fitted loco but it's still set to address 3 because I'm absolutely terrified if I change the address I'll end up nuking the sound functions. Can someone please confirm just using a controller to do a normal address change will be physically impossible to...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good quality small tipped soldering iron? Either electric or propane, but needs to be fine enough to be used inside N scale locos. TIA

Is there any site similar to RTT for Europe in general or German in particular? I'm just trying to get a vague idea of what type of service and service intensity certain lines will have. TIA

Does anyone know the history behind the layout of Cambridge station (before the construction of platforms 7 & 8). It has always struck me as a very odd layout for a through station and I can't really fathom why it was ever built like that. I know other stations have similar platforms...

When was the last time a station was truly closed with no alternative? I want to say it was the station on the WCML whose name escapes me. Ignore situations like Angel Road which was replaced by Meridian Water or IBM where its a single user station with no user. Also Parliamentary stations need...

Not quite a repeat of the Miracle on the Hudson but a 737-200F of Transair has gone down in the ocean attempting to return to Honolulu. Both pilots reported to have survived with serious injuries. BBC Report Flight Radar 24 Report

I've heard from various sources that the gas condensate tank service from North Walsham to Harwich has run continuously since the late 1960s and as such is the oldest freight service to have remained running between the same locations with the same cargo in the UK. Does anyone know if its true...

As the title really. Obviously back in the day a ground frame with a release was much cheaper than a full signalbox for rarely used siding or branch. But now that any set of points can be operated by someone flicking a switch in a control room hundreds of miles away how do they survive? The...

How do modern signaling installations handle their interlocking? Is it based on circuitry and relays in location cabinets or is it a server buried in a ROC or PSB just handling logic based software then sending that out to signals and point locks? Or a mix of both?

While driving past a helpful sign on a single line section that said "trains can run in either direction on this line" I wondered to myself if there is anywhere where that isn't true? Obviously there are countless sections of single lines as part of a whole formation that are uni-directional...

Noticed that GBRf have started sending route learning trips to Lowestoft over the last week. Anyone have any idea what flow has started or when?

So while mistyping Diss into the RTT search bar it gave Dusseldorf as an option. So I started playing and found that most European stations I tried was offered as an autofil. When searched for they bring up "no trains" as opposed to location not known. The only exception is Eurostar terminals...

I couldn't think of a snappier title! So, when the Wherry Line resignalling is completed Saxmundham box will recieve trains at Westerfield from Ipswich panel of Colchester box then 50 odd miles later hand them over to Lowestoft panel of Colchester box at Oulton Broad South. Are there any other...

Following on from the incident in Leeds which may or may not have revealed issues with the design and or crashability of the 800s are new designs put through the sort of destructive tests that other vehicles do? Obviously cars go through things like the Euro NCAP tests, airliners get wings...

Is there a new rule that NR are now only allowed to install tri-state Banner repeaters in new signalling installs? 6 tri-state repeaters have gone in along the Felixstowe branch since it was resignalled. 4 repeat 2 aspect signals and the two that do actually repeat a 3 aspect signal don't seem...

Does anyone know what might be in a pair of 20ft blue containers that often seem to be at Ipswich. It's a normal flat wagon with two plain blue 20ft containers. Sometimes it's in the main yard, sometimes it's in the loco sidings, sometimes it's not there. I assume it's something to do with...

A very simple quick question. Is a Norwich - Canterbury Stations (Any Permitted) ticket valid via Liverpool Street and St Pancras or only via Stratford International? TIA
