Very nice indeed zedcell with all the sights and sounds. Almost like modellers therapy watching the trains go round.
Great to see some full length trains that some of us cannot run due to size limitations too.

Another thought, the average reach of an adult male is about 2 1/2 feet. Looking at your Layout Ozzie I just want to reiterate Chops's comment. You need to be able to reach ALL of the track for cleaning. You could use cut/lift out sections (with scenery on) in the middle of the layout so you can ge...

Sometimes I stand in awe at some of the things built so long ago yet stand the test of time and are still in use today. It really does show the ingenuity and pioneering nature of the human spirit. How can you not be inspired by Brunel's amazing bridge over 100 years old and in CONSTANT use. :D https...

It makes me laugh though as I had a spare one of those and tried a similar project. It didn’t quite come out with such good results. Honestly, it looked like a 3 year old had done it!!

The only one I visit that's more like a warehouse is Gaugemaster in Ford near Arundel. It's a horribly clinical place and bargains are Scotch mist but if you just want to look at things in the flesh before perhaps buying them somewhere else cheaper, they have masses of stock. If you make it part of ...
