Ok,
sorry about the inflammatory title, but I'm trying to see if I can link to my mobile me photos here and I have the perfect photo. Didn't know where to put it as there are British, Japanese and German trains in this shot of my old never finished (and now defunct :( layout)
so here's the picture (hope this works!)

this link should work
Great Models :thumbsup:
I like your TEE and your collection of Euro Buildings, are these Faller kits?
I bet you cant wait to get back to the UK and set up a new layout.
All the best Graham and keep us all posted :camera: :wave:
How does the British stuff run on the Kato track Graham?
Owl, thanks for the comments...
yes the buildings are Faller, I got them at a local show in a box from a guy for CDN$50!! it was quite a steal. I have to try and repair the TEE :( :( , it had a falling down accident when I was trying to pack everything up for the move, Its one of my favourite models too.
Lawrence,
I had no problems at all running my British stock on the Kato track (that was a large part of why I'm so enamoured of the stuff)
I've run a Grafar class 47, 57, 45, Castle, Hall, Jubilee and Dapol Voyager, Hymek and 9F with narey a problem. I should add mind you that
I only use the larger radius points, not the #4s
The only downside is the limited track geometry and so on the new layout where I want some long uninterupted curves, I'll use peco flex, but the rest will be unitrack.
Why not use Fleischmann Piccolo flex track as shown on Conrad Electronics?

Seems awfully expensive Poliss... and while I do hate ballasting, the new layout will require quite a bit of track.. so the cost might be prohibitive!
seems to look quite nice though
