Nice @madchadbrad . I went through a Clannad phase, haven't listened to them for a while!

Thanks for the interest.  I started a new job at the end of last year and this has slipped job my list.  I will pick it up again soon, sorry.

Just spotted this on TOTP ...

Seems like it would suit watching trains passing on the layout ...

Does it include the bit with a slightly mashed Glaswegian going down the carriage banging on all the doors trying to find his mate ?

There is now a 10 hour soundtrack of the sleeper train to drift off to or use as background sound for a layout.

Has anyone seen an update please?

There was a March e-mail newsletter (2nd March) and that update showed the N Gauge LMS suburban project to be at 95% -that is the most recent one I know of. Fingers crossed being that close to the line now the project will find the "legs" to go the rest of the way and reach the quantity needed and go ahead.

I did run a tram around my red hat long ago and it kind of works but not if you wear it. Possibly T scale would because everything is magnetised so the tiny trains can get enough traction

I'm pretty sure I expressed an interest so I hope I will get an email at some point in the future.
