QUOTE (Rowan @ 29 May 2006, 20:51) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I bought the Epoche I Faller coaling station.It is the first "scenic"for the locdepot I am planning.

These are great. I have a few similar items. I aim to get them looking a little more French and/or Brittish to fit in with the rest of my layout.

I just have Faller. I have some MKD French models that are quite nice too, but are more modern. I'm going to get all my models looking roughly the same by using the same type of paint and weathering techniques.

This week, I've bought a bunch of Lenz decoders for forthcoming reviews. I still don't know why I can't get these at a reasonable price in Europe. I have to buy these from the US. Dang, they come from a place a couple of hundred kilometers from my place, but these chips have traveled half way around the globe to get here.

I've also ordered a selection of Tillig track, points and point motors. This I'll test and let you know my findings. It should sort out some recent questions on the forums.

I've bought a bunch of LED lights that I'm going to use on the layout.

MR16 fittings, 18 suberbright white LEDs using 12 DC. 1 watt each. Replacing halogen track lighting at 20 watt per bulb.

Sorry, I misused a term. The light systems I have are wire, not track. I plan to fix the bulbs up behind an overhead beam.

This is a continuation of another post in the Collector's area.

It can be about trains, scenery or anything else related to model railroading.
