Went to the Nottingham Model Railway Exhibition today. Particularly impressed by a layout base on the Lynton and Barnstable Railway in 009. Follow this link:

Also bought one of the ZTC4007 direct plug in DCC decoders which are about the same size as the blanking plug on dcc ready locos. Not too expensive at £12.50
