Its a steel shed and I have the walls and ceiling covered with one inch thick refrigeration insulation and its still to hot, crikey its so flamin humid up here you have a shower then have trouble putting a TShirt on because of the sweat.

Hi Rob and Pete I live on the South Side of Brisbane beside Moreton Bay the humidity is a killer.

I decided to build a new layout in the house as my OO layout in the shed is to hot to work on in the hot humid Aussie summer, after checking out the cost of new OO diesel locos as my shed layout is all steam I decided to go with an American HO layout, the proposed layout will be a 5ft x 10ft setup l...

The way I see things is like so many other things in life there are two ends to the story, some folks have the money to buy an Aston Martin others have to contend with a little hatch back sedan but realy they both serve the same purpose, so it is with our hobby some have £750 to buy an O Gauge Flyin...

Nice layout and great range of locos.

I never had time to get bored as over the past 15 years I have built and destroyed American, British, Japanese N Gauge layouts, British OO and American HO layouts, I estimate that I have spent well over $25,000au on the hobby and have very little to show for it, I am not complaining though as it bro...

Pretty hard to work Bachmann out as our local hobby shop refuses to sell Bachmann model trains because the Australian distributor refuses to give their products any warranty at all

Ok on the Bachmann American locos Puffingbill I also had my fingers burned with both HO and N scale stuff, their quality control is a disgrace, I guess you only get what you pay for though, just about every other brand of US models are great.

A very nice layout and well worth a good look also nice to see you running a Cadelonian 0-4-0, hope you have a great new year running your trains.

How nice it is to see modellers that are still content to stay with tension lock couplers, I watched several Youtube videos of exhibition layouts last night and was surprised to see so many British locos with a Kadee coupler stuck out the front of the buffer beam, to each their own I guess, to me se...

I have my own wishlist which is I wish I had the money to buy what others wish for.

Probably the most famous of them all "The Wreck of the Old 97" by many artists in 1927 was the first Million selling record in American history.

Dozens of train songs available on Youtube by "Boxcar Willie", also the Singing Brakeman "Jimmy Rogers"

Yes its wrong to destroy peoples property such acts need to be punished but one crime that annoys me the most is Paramedics trying to help people and getting attacked for doing so, IMO the best punishment for that is to take them out the back of a Police station and give them a flogging with the Cat...
