OK as it is now the new year, has any one made any modelling resolutions.

Mine is to actually finish some of the work in progress items. :confused2:
I also want to do something that means I can just run trains and not just have end to end stuff.  :doh:
Storage wise the end to end stuff is great but a roundy round using 2 modules -1 scenic and one plain track at the back appeals.

I'm not going to hold my breath on any prospective plans.
Modelling stupid small scale using T gauge track and IDl induction track. Still have  N gauge but not the space( Japanese Trams) Excuse spelling errors please, posting on mobile phone

Clear the layouts of projects   &   get something running  regularly  &  start track  laying on   Goesrover layout  ;)

If it's got rails... you have my full, undivided attention - Steam, diesel and electric, 'tis all good !

Build more, play less - simples !

Are you sure you've got that the right way around  :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing:

Strangely enough I was thinking the same only this morning, I wonder which one of us will crack first?  >:D  Oops - too late! :-[

Having got my upper ovals running and having tested some (notorious?) point haters such as the Dapol A4 and their 9F I am aghast/well pleased they run through everything.
There are still some iffy lumpy bits and poor joins though, some when I stop playing trains  :-[ I'll have to sort them out

Some days its just not worth gnawing through the straps.

Mine is to stop being tempted with buying stuff and to start building using the bits and pieces I've built up over the last year.
I'm also tempted to spend less time on here and more on the layout as it's only just above the computer.
I want to spend more time helping my son with his layout.

Lets see how long I last.

Mine is to build up stock and locos for when we move out in the summer so i can have plenty to run on my layout which hopefully have a more permanent home so an expansion could be planned.

I think i'll try to get sorted with a local club and learn a bit of rail lingo or more importantly what it means like so much stuff that comes up in here that i have no idea what people are talking about.

That's pretty much the same for most layouts mate, that's the whole point of testing before scenery ;) Since you say your 'worst' trains actually run through everything I would class that a success  :beers:


My resolution was made last September when I packed the layout away after a week of thorough track and electrical testing following months of wire-soldering - there would be nothing done in the lead up to christmas and then January would see half the layout out at a time so the major scenic work could start. This will happen in the next fortnight  :thumbsup:

All you have to do is ask  ;)

I do it all the time when very inconsiderate people (you all know who you are) fill their posts with abbreviations  :veryangry: and they all happily tell me what they mean  :-*

cheers John.
