For Sale or Trade / FS: N scale US prototype
« on: October 18, 2023, 11:59:00 AM »
Me and Looville is selling a mutual mate's collection. A lot of DCC and decent prices all round.
Also a layout that can be used or stripped and rebuilt. R30k for the layout including all buildings and something like 32 motorised points (local old price per point is R375 and will go up significantly soon)!
No, no, no - no pictures as it will take forever to load and even longer to manage... You'll have to swing round to come see or go to the 2 December show in Bothasig.
Prices for rolling stock R100 (if rapido coupler) to R150 (if with MT type knuckle couplers).
Some really good quality items available.

Layout Showcase / SAR layout in progress - 2019 report
« on: November 15, 2019, 09:11:08 AM »
Me and a bunch of similar reprobates went to visit a layout in Kuilsrivier. Blackie Swart and his gracious wife entertained us for 2.5 hours and we spent most of it ogling this amazing layout in progress - few facts:
- room size 84 sq/m extra height.
- full aircon and dust control (this helps reliability and performance but then, we know this)
- 3 levels
- I forgot the total length - maybe someone else can fill that in
- DC controlled
