Hi Mick, seems to be getting more done - got an appointment later this afternoon to get some test results.

For what it's worth, new gp's even longer wait time to get an appointment, currently just about coping with chronic back pain that pain killers don't seem to be helping, done prescription strength co-codamal and pain patches may be next on the agenda.
Trying to do a little modelling but can't concentrate for more than 10 minutes.

Sorry you are having such an uncomfortable time just now.

Hope you feel loads better very soon.

So sorry to hear nothing has improved

Bealman · March 05, 2016, 08:54:47 PM

Hope you get it sorted.

Just spent 2 days trying to make 10 dummy catenary masts.
Currently looking at bits of wire glued to styrene uprights but will have to do as they are only for effect.
The etched brass ones I have are now beyond the limits of my budget. I need about 50 single masts.

Newportnobby · March 13, 2016, 10:07:28 PM

Any chance of a pic please?

Oldman · March 13, 2016, 10:16:11 PM

Will sort something out when I get some more camera batteries and am using a pc instead of my mobile phone.

Oldman · March 14, 2016, 04:09:02 PM

Just got to sort out the cable support system and then spray paint in primer before I sort out pictures.
Prototype based on are the poles on the Brunig line in Switzerland.

Just had an insane idea that might work.
Looking on shapeways there is a French steam locomotive body that allegedly fits on a pacific class 4-6-2, do I rebody my Northern Pacific unit hoping that I can hide the DCC conversion?

Back off on a tangent am looking a 2foot park railways using the T gauge stuff. Will eventually make up my mind and actually commit to something on a baseboard

Oldman · April 30, 2016, 06:21:37 PM

Couple of pictures of std gauge Z and then some NG Z (the park railway stock ) 2' on T gauge (3mm gauge)

All the bits are from Shapeways and everything in the third picture from the same designer.

Jeez - I can (just about) see the attraction but have problems at times with N gauge let alone going smaller
