Nice, I like the way you've handled the complex track layout. :D Thanks. It was really difficult because I don't have a brain. That's what SWMBO tells me everyday. :mrgreen: Don't believe her (keep that to yourself). To have taken my Xmas tree base circle plus loop and simplified it so elegantly ta...

If there's one upside to all this, it's that junk mail and fraudulent phone calls have dropped to almost zero.:D Thanks End2end Sadly the phone calls have started up again. I've had 3 'your service provider couldn't draw your direct debit and we'll cut you off unless you press one to pay' s and an ...

You should try wargaming!

I once painted a 6mm (the height of the figure) Napoleonic French army. One 'friend' kindly pointed out that the buttons on a particular regiment's tunics,'should be in pairs' and I'd painted them singly! It finished me with the Napoleonic period.

So my era 4 'Somewhere in Yorkshire' layout can be run with the correct stock.But at the moment is home to my GWR stock, supplemented by a cohort of KPEV locomotive stock.

Dapol have both a Capt' Tom Moore and an NHS Shed on offer, each with a £40 donation. At £110 a reasonably good price for an N gauge shed and £40 to the NHS is a great donation.

Unable to order both I went for the Good Captain!

I don't know, you spend actual real money buying something and 50 yrs later it packs up! Still not as bad as my early inertia simulation controller, bought in 1977, it packed up in 2007 after only 30 yrs heavy use. Disgusted of County Durham!

I can't post a photo, decency, obstructed viewing angles, etc. etc. However in the woods, by the campsite, near Commondale on my layout Sunnisyde, are a gentleman and lady, I presume his wife or lady of equal distinction. They appear to have 'gone for a walk in the woods'* while forgetting their ves...

I've been using a Gaugemaster DS, twin track simulator for well over 20 yrs. Absolutely fantastic bit of kit. Plus lifetime guarantee from GM.

I have thin metal sheeting, pliable and adhesive backed. I bought it on ebay for little money .

Locomotion was listed yesterday on Facebook as one of the County Durham facilities about to close for a while.

Yes, I ordered some kits from Track Shack on Sunday evening and they arrived this morning. I also ordered a Union Mills loco last week, spoke to Colin on the Monday, it arrived on Wednesday. As both firms are in the Isle of Man, that's great service. The last time I used Hattons I had to email them ...

I think @Mountain has got it right. While a quad track with branch line layout with one end being in the next time zone is what many people would like, including DCC control with sound on all locos being a 'must'. Most of us cannot afford the room or money to realise this. You can have lot of fun wi...

Two Hornby O gauge clockwork 0-4-0 tank locos, one labelled LMS, the other LNER, very second hand, but to a 3 Yr old mad about trains, priceless!
