Running Tracks DCC Upgrade

The ever popular Runnng track has recently undergone some mainteance and opportunity taken to add a DCC control system to this facility.
The Octangonal MGRT baseboards are fitted with Five independent, continous runs, with rails fitted to provide up to at least twelve different gauges, including some three rail facilities. Until now, these have used independent DC controllers.

A DCC-EX CSB1 command station, used in conjunction with a mobile phone app such as ‘Engine Driver or Wi-Throttle’, now allows any or all of the tracks to benefit from Digital Command Control, making it ideal for testing DCC decoder equipped locomotives.


NEW ‘N’ scale layout

A draft layout proposal has been created based on the GWR West Drayton branch line. This is in outline form, the track plan is subject to change and possibly a small reduction in size. More details are on the Drayton Green Layout page

Most of our ‘N’ group members have been busy honing their skills on the new ‘00’ ‘drive a train’ project. With this now well advanced, their thoughts are returning to creating a brand new ‘N’ scale layout.
