i'm using MRC prodigy advance 2 DCC controller on my layout. my locomotives (all are american) are from bachmann, intermountain, atlas, proto 2000 and a few very old DC engines which i had converted them to DCC by myself. all are working fine on my MRC controller, no problem at all. 1 of the problem you might encounter will be different types of coupler but it can be easily customized/fixed.

again, it all depends on your preferences such as type of diesels and their era. as for me i'm not so particular about era, i'm more concern with the price! these days i'll buy cheap good DC engines and convert them to DCC and also adding sound by myself, more fun!

right now i'm setting up my small layout at home, very small because doesn't have any space unlike what i had previously in auckland. more train items are on its way backhome here hopefully by end of june. anyone by any chance passing through seremban is always welcome to drop by my place here and we can talk about trains

wao! it's very interesting to heard from you about all the trains..if i pass by seremban, hope can drop by your place to have a look.
Hope all your train items arrived safety and perfectly by end of june, then I can have a look. Haha...

By the way, my shop will have a opening at Paradigm Mall, 2nd floor, lot 6 at 1st July...Hope you can come then we can talk about trains...wakakak

how you guys feel about this train station?

everything still on a flat surface... very small layout... noob layout. just pm me if you are at seremban
i ran out of space to put my trains on the layout

will drop by soon at your shop, need some materials

hmmm... faller train's platform?

Yes, is faller trains platform...how you know? haha....

faller products are very nice but pricey too. i bought some secondhand platforms recently, got them very cheap. those that in your pic are a little bit new/modern

hope can see these 2 pics in my attachment. 2 of my favorites locomotives, kato sd70

Faller is one of my favorite also. Don't worry, you can still find some with cheaper price.
Or you can directly buy the scenery also, can save some money.

Those locomotives is digital or analogue? Look so nice!

both locomotives are powered and digital too... using digitrax decoders. i don't run analogue

i did a kibri warehouse 4 months ago and i think kibri is much more precise and easier to built than faller. either way both faller and kibri are good products

I agree with you, both are good product, but as my opinion I prefer Faller because of the detail...haha...
By the way, hope can visit your place to see your trains someday..

sure can visit but my layout still on flat surface no real landscape yet... not enough space to put everything on the layout. my remaining items should be arriving by end of next week, don't know how much kastam will tax those personal collections

i'm not so particular about roadnames and era... too me price is always number one. that's why if you look at the attached pic, i have various roadnames

Hello Guys,

Very Interesting to know there are many train modellers in Malaysia. It is also my hobby. At present i have a OO gauge model from Hornby, Bachmann Branchline. Mine is DCC (Hornby).

Im planning to start a 11 x 7 feet layout. At present mine is 6 x 4 feet (all ready dismantle most of it to start the new lay out).
To all you bros out there who wants to buy train models (the whole works!) . My advise is go to Ebay. There price there is very much cheaper.
Cheers

now i saw it..haha...watching your youtube video~

all my precious locomotives were checked-in into my flight when i flew back here last month. don't wanna take any risk at all.

the rest are all on the ship... shipping company told me should be arriving today at port klang but so far still nothing

have you check with the shipping company?

the local agent at port klang will let me know once my cargo is here. my main concern now is the tax since i have so many train items... even though all those are my personal collection they will still find a way to tax them

wao! it's very interesting to heard from you about all the trains..if i pass by seremban, hope can drop by your place to have a look.
