Title: Your biggest modelling challenge....
Post by: lionwing on July 10, 2013, 11:16:30 AM
Considering the wealth of experience on this forum....

What has been your most challenging N Gauge Modelling task you have undertaken and completed?

For me....breaking  the news to my wife I wanted to build one and then negotiating were it would be kept!

Got to say that "the misses" has been very supportive and quite appreciative of it since!

:thumbsup:

The other one was finding the money to pay for all the bits I have accumulated. :-X

Wiring - the very thought of it and any sort of electrickery fills me with dread and foreboding :worried: I know I'm not going to harm myself with the small voltages involved, but I have to tackle feeds, points, signals and lighting at some point. Gulp!
I have read many books/websites but any wiring diagram just fuses my 2 remaining brain cells. I've jury rigged electrics to make sure everything runs as I want it to, but must soon make the wiring proper, and have the feeling the swear box will fill rapidly ;)
Never had a problem with ladies/model railways as I always used the excuse "Well, at least you know where I am. I could be in town whooping it up (not Leyland, I hasten to add)"

Location, location, location !

I have spent my entire modelling life dodging the 'authorities' and trying to find a place to house my creations...
One day i'll get that holy grail known as a 'spare room' but until then everything has to stay portable.

Just need those 6 magic numbers....  :D
