Ok not N gauge, but I've been a member of the SRPS / Bo'ness and Kineill railway for um... 49 years..

What a great looking layout. Shame I never saw it on a visit a couple of years ago.
I guess even if they catch the scumbags responsible there'll be the usual smack on the hand

Such a sad reflection on how respect for other people and property is shown these days. And it will not get any better due to the lenient system we have now - but that is for another topic.

We live in a time when intelligent people are being silenced, so that stupid people won't be offended.

"Thank you", Eli whispered, her voice a soft melody. "What you have created for me, Sylvie, is a gift beyond measure. An empress among ingénues—I'll carry those words with me like a secret talisman."

"Eli, darling, you are a vision tonight," Sylvie said, admiring the way the silk chiffon gown draped elegantly over Eli's curves. "That gown was crafted for one as lovely as you."

A demure blush bloomed on Eli's cheeks as she smiled shyly. "Merci, Sylvie. But you take my breath away – your long, dark waves cascading down your back, and that crimson gown brings out the fire in your eyes. You and Jeremy make the perfect pair."

Sylvie's smile took on a conspiratorial air. "Ah yes, Jeremy is a fine man. But my dear Eli, I could not help but notice the spark between you and Giles earlier. There's a new light in your eyes, a longing. What stirs your heart so?"

Eli hesitated, worrying her full bottom lip briefly before replying. "Giles... he understands me in a way no other man has before. When he looks at me, it's as though he sees into the depths of my soul. I'm drawn to him, body and mind. The thought of giving myself over to him completely terrifies me, yet sets my heart racing with anticipation."

Leaning in, Sylvie placed a reassuring hand on Eli's arm. "Love weaves a tapestry from vulnerability and trust, ma chérie. Giles recognises your desires, your fears, and your dreams. Tonight, as we prepare for the Ball, remember – surrendering to love does not diminish us but empowers us. Open yourself fully to the depths of connection you share with Giles. Let passion and intimacy envelop you both."

"You're right, Sylvie", Eli whispered fervently. "Tonight, I'll walk into that grand hall hand-in-hand with Giles and embrace the unknown. Our love will be the foundation for the rich, fulfilling life that awaits us."

In the flickering glow of the firelight, Sylvie and Eli shared their deepest secrets, baring their hearts. While the grand Ball beckoned, in that intimate dressing room, they discovered something far more precious—the transformative promise of true love.

Sylvie smiles; her eyes filled with a newfound understanding. "Eli, you're a woman who knows what she wants. And I'm here to help you get it."

Eli blushes, her cheeks flushing with a mix of embarrassment and excitement. "I don't know what to say", she stammers. "Thank you, Sylvie."

As Sylvie's words washed over her, Eli felt a tide of yearning rise within her breast. Her confession had unlocked a door to a world of intimacies and passions she had scarcely allowed herself to imagine. Yet, with her dearest friend's supportive presence, those whispered dreams now blazed with the promise of becoming reality.

Arrayed in their evening finery, the two women exuded a heady confidence and excitement they had never before experienced. Tonight, they would embrace adventure and explore untraveled vistas of love and closeness. And so it was that Sylvia and Eli set forth eagerly, ready to bring Eli's deepest desires to incandescent life.

As the orchestral strains of the final tuning came from below, Eli stood before the mirror, surveying her appearance one final time. Trembling fingers traced the elegant coiffure, smoothing the sumptuous silk of the midnight blue gown that embraced her womanly curves. Each resonant tick of the castle clocktower brought her closer to the brink of transformation. Reckless longing warred with deep-seated fear – would the flames she hoped to ignite in Giles' soul consume the cherished pieces of her world entire? Drawing a steadying breath, Eli turned from her reflection, her choice made. She was ready to leap forward into the life-altering risk that awaited.

I'm not seeing any error and the uploaded photos are being placed in my gallery ok.  So I have to go and get the links from there. 

I suppose I could/should just add photos from the gallery screens anyway, especially if adding a bunch

This has been happening to me frequently for the past 6 months. Sometimes it doesn't happen. I came to the conclusion that it might be that it isn't working at times when the forum is busy with traffic.
