Hello, I'm going to buy it, will it be a good choice?
@DartsideScenics14 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching. Personally, I really like this model as its improvement on the other two I have reviewed. It depends on what you will use it for and if you are satisfied it's worth the investment. I am very aware that it's a lot of money but you can produce some amazing things with it. I have seen other reviews on KZfaq which seem very positive so it's worth looking at some of those to see what else you can do with it. Also, you need the Lightburn software which is around £50. If you're a creative person, it's a very enjoyable process. I just took some time to learn, make some mistakes and soon found my skills improving. gozbx.com/r/OXKj65wMndPF Discount Code:FNPALL10

That’s how I wire my red green signals BUT DAPOL said I can’t do this without buying another box what’s the story yours worked well I have the DCC concepts alpha up digital. Points have their own bus. Dccc has its own buss and accessories have theirs own bus according to your method which is similar to what I do with the red green leds wired directly off the point motor with a diode this seems like a winner. Great content.

Hello, if you hadn't been sent this. Would you part with £1000+ of your own money to get it? Secondly, if you've never done graphic design is it easy to create a meaningful design for it to cut?
@DartsideScenics2 ай бұрын
Hi Tim. If I could afford it, I would buy it as I really enjoy the process. However, I can’t really afford to buy one at the moment so realise I’m fortunate to have it. If you are thinking of making kits to sell, there is potential to get your money back fairly quickly. I’m not a graphic designer (I’m sure you can tell!!) but have managed some nice work with basic knowledge of the Lightburn software. I have a creative imagination so may find it easier than some to put it together.

It looks like you can do some wonderful things with this equipment. I enjoyed building model buildings but could only afford the basic scalpel and scissors but it was impressed seeing what I could build including a miniature of Buckfastleigh circa 1910 from cereal packaging, It was good enough to get me into college once upon a time. I'm guessing equipment such as this can expand the verity and quality of your models. I'd love to see more of what you have created with this thing.

I grew up by this railway line, my dad was a volunteer there and as a kid i got to blow the whistle and wave the train off just like the train guard. Staverton is a beautiful part of the line and a reminder of how stunning the English countryside with a steam engine looks. I used to make the scenery on my brother's model railway. Id love to see you incorporate lots of the surrounding countryside, perhaps the whole thing from Ashburton to Totnes, there was great model of Ashburton station at Buckfastleigh the last time i was there.
