I do like a bit of 'thread drift'! I only wondered why the forum was so quiet!!

Fascinating.

Cheers,

I happen to have the disposable income to pay for what I want, whether that's something RTR or paying someone to do something for me

The late Andy Calvert, ambassador for N and exceptional modeller always referred to his layouts as his "train sets" which included Calverdale, Nether Stowey and Moorcock Junction all quite superb models. If that was good enough for him, it should be for most people.

Incidentally I once read (possibly urban myth) that searching "moorcock" for his layout could sometimes have interesting and unexpected results!

I always thought Andy Calvert's modelling to be superb.
As for moorcock, I'm surprised the forum censor hasn't altered it

Why would you censor the name of a fantasy and science fiction author?

Don't tell Elric!
