  1. Peter Schmid's Pocket Power Pack is something for the #ModelRail enthusiasts: an all-in-one device that both powers a small layout and controls it too, all from one box. Bluetooth link to your smartphone as a throttle control, too!

  3. Unpacked some old model railway stuff from my old Märklin and Roco sets after the move. Maybe eventually we'll actually have some space for a very minimal actual working setup (like a bare minimum oval on a smaller table).
    In the meanwhile I put the models on display in a bookshelf that has some space left after I donated some old programming litterature to the "library" we keep at the office in Solna…

  5. Chrismas is coming closer and I am doing something that I have been avoiding since the fire - making an overview which model trains burned in the fire and which survived it.

    It was clear that quite some trains burned and the numbers are in - 25 train engines burned, around 200 train cars. ca 120m of c-rail. around 30 switches. One CS3.

    So for chrismas i am now trying to see what i need to have a model railroad run around a chrismas tree. #marklin #model #modelrailroad #modelrail #digital #h0

  7. A BR Class 52 Western waits at the platform whilst a BR Class 5MT hauling the oil train uses the bypass line.

  8. I have gone miniature painting mad this week! Some of my work. I'm glad I found the headspace for this hobby again, it's really relaxing and it's getting me back into model making too.

  10. Decoder Programming Lock is an #NMRADCC optional feature to lock a decoder so it cannot be programmed. This allowed additional decoders in the same vehicle to be programmed individually using a common address.

    CVs 15 & 16. If active only CV15 can be read, all others return "Decoder not found".

  11. Share your knowledge about the NMRA's Digital Command Control by becoming a DCCWiki contributor.

    Help fill in the gaps in the knowledge base, especially where information on various European brands is lacking. Or add your knowledge of Digitrax, NCE, TCS and others.

    Knowledge is not wasted when shared.

  12. This weekend on the small rails included looking at the inside of various stock with good running properties in DC service to check for available space for a DCC upgrade.

  13. And straight out of the museum collection comes the authentic East German class 244, one of the oldest models I own, pulling era-appropriate Deutsche Reichsbahn coaches, making a brief encounter with the APT-P in the curve. Obviously in reality, those two never met.

  15. For the more modern interests, an #ODEG #Desiro also makes an appearance and I just have to say, its one of the best H0-scale trains ever made.

  17. Sharing some familiarities with the APT-P is the German #ET403, in reality also a short lived high speed train with tilting that made passengers sick and was soon disabled. Lasting some more years in actual passenger service than the APT-P, it also wears one of the best liveries ever concieved by its operator, Deutsche #Bundesbahn

  19. A look back to 2021 with some moving images from my layout, which has been the same green plate for several years now.

    The videos include the infamous #BritishRail #APT-P which honestly is my favourite british train by design and I'm delighted I was able to visit the real one in Crewe last summer! The model is from Hornby back when the original still ran and it features functional tilting.

  21. The eagle-eyed spotted the iconic #ET403 standing in the background of last nights "Good night!"-post, a train that still seems to enjoy a decent following but isn't exactly a common sight on model railways, so here it comes thundering through at speed! (scale speed of about 180 km/h, mine doesn't quite manage 200 at the moment as the design of the unit means you either have severe wheelslip or poor contact)

  22. Ihr kommt zum Bahnhof, habt eine Tageskarte und diese vier Züge stehen da. Wo steigt ihr zuerst ein? 👀😁

    You come to the station, got a day ticket and these four are here. Which one do you get on first? 👀

  26. CW: Rant: Modellbau, Digital

    Der Raum für Decoder nach #Next18 / #NEM662 ist mehr als eindeutig spezifiziert. Im Dach des #RegioShuttle von #Kuehn ist auch mehr als ausreichend Platz für einen #Next18S-Sound-Decoder. 👨‍🏫

    Trotzdem schafft es die Firma "Kuehn Modell & Digital", die Position des Decoder-Steckers so auf der fast leeren Platine anzuordnen, dass kein die Norm ausnutzender Decoder hinpasst. 😫

  28. Falls Du jemals das Gefühl hattest, irgendeiner Deiner Loks fehlte es an Zugkraft: Ja! Ist so.

    Zwei angetriebene Achsen.
    Keine Haftreifen.
    Druckgußgehäuse.
    Staunen.
