Just had a look through this thread.
What a wonderful layout.

The view of that train arcing over the elevation is wonderful to observe. You can see the 24 coming off the curve chant on that one. I had to rip up the curve due to heat damage. When I replaced it I added the chant as an experiment. The view below shows part of the area during the rebuild. https:/...

Not been on this forum for ages, so I thought I'd better update you all.

BR Blue back up and running as normal now.
Just one of those things that happen's every now and then!
Gremlins in the works!

Here's one I have recently finished.
Grey paint for the body. Then a mix of artist oil's "Burnt Umber and Yellow Ochre" add decals and then a wash of Citidel Nuln Oil.

Just to show that the layout is still alive.
A rake of 21 Ton hoppers passes the depot.

Certainly a 'Rave from the Grave' Errr - How's the roof ? I know you look in quite often - I check from time to time on those I recall from the Old Days. Wish Grotland was still around. Geoff T. The roof has been replaced and all is well with the shed. No leaks! I still do a bit in the shed every n...

Some nice signalling on this layout.

People are so rude!

Always a pleasure to see this layout.
I also pleased to see you've gone DCC.
Sound as well.

I really do like this little loco and had to have one.
So in my world Metro-Cammell at Washwood Heath have acquired this loco for there works and sent it to "Slightly" for testing.

I've tried lots of different ways of cleaning tracks and after all that you can't beat a good old Peco track rubber!

Thanks for all the comments. The layout had stood still for quite some time as the shed roof had devloped a few leaks! It's all part of the learning curve! Over a period of 2 days late last year I stripped and renewed the roof (an amazing feat for me!). I then had to wait a week or so to see if all ...
