[CirroCu]

Nothing unfortunatley as it hasn't been delivered yet

Aaaah shame :'(   But it will be all the better for the wait.

Very True, Having a rethink on my purchases to go with the layout at the minute. Thinking I've bought totally the wrong stock for my layout

If you've bought what YOU like then you've bought the right stock!

Thank You Steve,

Only Issue is I would like to do a Locomotive repair yard but so far bought the following

Graham Farish Class 37 in Dutch Livery
Graham Farish Class 37 in Regional Railways Livery
Graham Farish 'Yeoman' POA Stone Ballast Hopper Weathered x1
Graham Farish 45 Tonne TTA Monobloc Tank Wagon 60880 in Jet A1 Aviation Fuel Green Livery Limited edition of 504 pieces for Model Rail magazine (EMAP) Weathered x5
Dapol Class 48 Mainline Livery

Seems a little all over the place looking at it. Also Mods if this is too off topic please let me know and apologies

Surely thats the problem of modern railways in G.B. they are all over the place, but if you like them they are right! If it helps, try running them separately and expanding the themes of each loco company.

I would hit the thank you button but works PC browser won't let me.

Thanks again, Think I'll sit down sort of speak and figure out exactly what I want to do before I go any further

Inspired by the "car of the year" Peugeot advert for their new 308, I too have decided to "de-clutter", having come to the conclusion my layout it is a little too fussy.
Still keeping 3 main tracks so can run 3 trains simultaneously, but simplifying the scenery and the things on it, and shortening at least one of the sidings and maybe getting rid of another.
Hoping to make it to the Crewe show a week Saturday to get some new ideas and maybe pick up a bargain or two.

built these today, the loco shed wasnt to bad but the shop & post office has taken 6 hours so far, it doesnt help having fingers like sausages , as you can see the second one has still got a bit to do yet, first time i have ever made anything like these, and to be honest i didnt think i was goin to have the patients to do them but it turned out to be so relaxing and the time flew by

Hi Phil,

I think both of your buildings look really good 

Are you going to illuminate them?

I feel if these are an example of your first attempts, then we are going to have yet another master builder in our midst.  It is also good to hear you enjoyed the experience after being hesitant and this makes a big difference when tackling new projects.



cheers John.

[phil s]

thanks john

i will be illuminating them but as the second building has got floors through the middle i will need to wire up 5 bulbs but i will be doing it, i want everything to look realistic, i think i have got the bug now

Only 'cos you asked:

'Fine-tuning' SiX-mile Bush for its outing this weekend at the Hamilton (New Zealand) Model Railroaders exhibition (see the Calendar for more details). 

So far everything is going well, but , 'just in case', I'll just run it once more....    

[Newportnobby]

Good luck with the show - may everything run smoothly

Just completed a Scalescene modern station. Pretty happy with it generally.
