Any chance we can have a reminder of your invaluable modification to Hornby Points please?

That's realy quite accomplished work Martin, most impresive.

I'm curious about the drain pipes that go half-way up the roof - never seen that before.

One thing I particularly liked about this layout was the automatic block-control. I think there was a video once?

Equally though the scratch built houses and bridge where impressive too.

Glad to see you back

A picture shows what this layout looks like now!

"I look forward to progress"

(I know you loved that expression)

Don't forget Fatneck was one of the original mavericks

" ... even got Mumbles back in to it!!"

Uh Oh!

Looking quite complex, and accomplished at the same time.

Love the outlined building on the right in the last couple of photos - there's something about this early stage of mapping things out that I like

And some clever electronics too I suspect

That's quite a view, three bridges in a row. And the model is coming along nicely too, you can already feel the atmosphere in that view along the road with the heavy shadows contrasting the pools of light between. Nice to get a glimpse of the railway room too. Will it be scenics all round? Or part s...

Nice work Martin. The chimney stack reaching for the sky on the larger of the buildings is particularly imposing.

Hello Martin,

The thread below has a few pointers to lining pens / bow pens. They take a little practise, but equally a skill useful to acquire

Thank you Geoff, very much appreciated, although I think the compliment is applicable both ways having seen some of your fine creations

Thank you also ceejaydee, glad to see you are still around

Thanks for the hats Eastern, I may well send a postal order for one or two of those

As for magnifying: I use one like this. I couldn't do without it.

Many thanks Notroh.

Out of curiosity, what is your hat of preference?

Personally I quite like relaxing in a simple cap, and a Homberg for semi-formal occasions. For more workaday situations a Straw Boater seems the most appropriate
