Thank you so much. Well explained and photographed.
Great! Glad it was helpful. I'm planning a follow-up with a simple 'how to add directional lights' guide - slightly more straightforward than my full DIY Class 33 headcodes video (ua-cam.com/video/9SdaQ_uuG4E/v-deo.htmlsi=hTD_KtrM639fClyg).
For wire stripping I recommend automatic wire strippers. Much nicer than those where it's up to you to pick the correct slot!
I’ll have to look out for some of those. Once set up, mine are pretty good, but anything that makes it easier is worth a try.
Nowt wrong with Lima loco's. I have several that I have converted to 8-pin DCC and also added additional pick-ups and they run just as well as the more recent expensive offerings. Another advantage with older models is that you can add as much detail as you want.
Absolutely! The old Airfix, Mainline and even some of the Hornby/Tri-ang ones also make for great projects.
Fabulous video. Clear, concise and really helpful to anyone doing that job for the first few times :)
Thank you! Much appreciated,
