David, KB had a stand at narrow gauge north this last weekend, tempted, but resisted, so I for one am waiting to see what some one else, (you !), makes of it. ...

Hi Frank If you want a real challenge there is (or was last year) the CT Elektronik DCX75 which measures only 11 x 7.2 x 1.4 mm and is a SOUND decoder!...
Oops - I think the sound decoder I was referring to was a SLX74 and was slightly larger then the NON sound DCX75 as noted below but still very small. Regards ...
Frank Sharp asked about putting a DCC chip in the KB Scale McEwan Pratt Baguley. David Janes (proprietor of KB Scale) has already suggested a possible site for...
David, When I chipped the Lister, I milled out the chassis block centre, virtually down to the layshaft, and took away the 'mounting plate' for the gearbox. Is...
