Looks really good Mike, can we see some pictures with a loco on it?
The years have been good to me, it was the weekends that did the damage.

Sorry Malc, only working motive power at present is 2 Railbuses, one is the one going up and down on the video. :sorrysign:
Due to my dislike of struggling to fit working couplings on 009 stock I decided that I shall concentrate on Railbus/Railcars only.

Scale change for a new year - still 9mm track but an experiment at the moment. O9   7mm to the foot    Equivalent to 15 or 18" narrow gauge. Wagons arebeing built on Peco 10' wagon chassis and Locos powered by the standard Kato 103.

poor quality photo taken by mobile phone.
Board is 18x24"

Am I correct in thinking that's a cassette at the top for swapping trains in and out?

Looks very interesting. You certainly experiment with different scales, that's for sure!  :thumbsup:

Not doing anything now, nothing on 9mm track at all.
Have decided to stop doing stuff based on 9mm .
Can't get on with it anymore. Also not logging into forum as I used to.
I scraped 4 baseboards with all the ballasted track on it. 2 bin bags of buildings and scenic stuff  got  rid of.

Quick update for everyone (Jonclox will know what I mean)
Health has deteriorated again and am currently on Tramadol for pain but it totally zonks me out. May be trying Morphine patches if the new idea from the quack does not help. Steroids not helping a lot and finding even sitting for more than an hour painful.

I certainly understand Oldman and can only hope that medications can find a suitable balance for you soon....................... (Or of course that a long prayed cure may suddenly appear)
I guess to some extent that I`m lucky in that I only need to take a weeks dosage of steroids about every 7/8 weeks

Fingers crossed that everything turns out OK, Oldman. Keep your spirits up.
