Evening!
Long story short; reason I used to have so much time modeling was because my back was completely shafted. After a several year wait, I got fixed and started my own business. I do way too many hours a week and need to redress the work life balance. I used to enjoy n gauge massively and want to get back into it. I've still got my yvrr model as it was when I last posted. There's a point to lay, a little wiring then some testing (playing) and onto the scenics.
Still quite a mountain to climb though lol.
Pondering a mini sceniced loop as a quick project to get my hand back in

Well I decided to get all 16 feet together to remind me what needs doing and to run a couple of trains. :D
Stl a long way to go, but doable!
Lots of dirty track but got a little run in (http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c171/polo2k/Models/YVR/20150920_163734_zpshaknexdx.jpg) (http://s27.photobucket.com/user/polo2k/media/Models/YVR/20150920_163734_zpshaknexdx.jpg.html)(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c171/polo2k/Models/YVR/20150920_163748_zpsffxa2n7q.jpg) (http://s27.photobucket.com/user/polo2k/media/Models/YVR/20150920_163748_zpsffxa2n7q.jpg.html)(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c171/polo2k/Models/YVR/20150920_163725_zpspuakcvyp.jpg) (http://s27.photobucket.com/user/polo2k/media/Models/YVR/20150920_163725_zpspuakcvyp.jpg.html)(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c171/polo2k/Models/YVR/20150920_163716_zpsw8xztewk.jpg) (http://s27.photobucket.com/user/polo2k/media/Models/YVR/20150920_163716_zpsw8xztewk.jpg.html)

Yup, you spotted it lol. Each board is under 15 kg so really opens up the choice for tables lol

The good thing about them is that most are height adjustable. Until I got some trestles with that feature I used mine to work on individual baseboards :)
