This is all a bit fancy compared to the first model railway christmas present I got. A bachmann ivatt tank... in a brown paper bag, no box, not even bubble wrap. Had to get the track later 🤣 we were not flush with money growing up lol
I hope you read this as I have a really big problem I am trying to run two tracks with my nce power cab its just one dcc line and the inside track will not work if you can help me I would be very grateful Paul
Hi Paul, Have you checked that there is power to the track? A good part of your toolbox should always be a multimeter - anyone will do, they can be bought fairly cheaply on eBay. You can also get "track testers" which are basically a small LED on a board which you place on the track. With your multimeter, check the connectivity, making sure there is power to all the sections of your track that there should be. A single PowerCab should have no problem running a pair of tracks (I assume its a pair of oval circuits?).
Great gift ideas. Now to get my partner to get me that scenic pack.
You should!
Great ideas there - especially to get my nephews into trains!
Go for it!
Nice selections. I might get that GWR set for my grandson. He lives in Devon so sees those short HST sets every day.
Good choice!

When I got my first train set, other relatives all chipped in with presents to complement it, eg station, etc
Some good choices there. I'd ask people to visit their local model shop to buy them though.
Always good to support your local model shop, however many people dont have one.
