Nice work there!

I prefer the more bird faeces version before you toned it down

only way to get that screw off is drill it! also i hear coke cleans up rust so maybe a coke bath for the units might help?

anyway that looks like some project to be doing! good luck

well some more projects been knocked out hopefully these will help with the cables going round corners for the manual switches https://image.ibb.co/bBeHTe/D4-F3755-C-BEB3-495-F-9840-A6-C9274-CC6-BF.jpg https://image.ibb.co/hmp7eK/image.jpg https://image.ibb.co/kukiMz/image.jpg next was finding these...

Is an interesting controller. Do a check that the mains wire is in good condition and that the case has a rubber grommet to prevent the wire from wearing against the metal case. Is just aa safety check as it looms an older controller. I like the older controllers. They also gave more power as some ...

Loving the sheet metal work! I had a similar idea in my head for point levers. Are those nails for the lever heads? Thanks but I have to confess it’s some angled metal I found laying about so I cut it to some lengths and pop riveted them together to form a box As for the nails I have no idea as the...

wow this looks great! all coming together nicely will look even better once you get some grass and even balast down! then just think what it'll be like once you start adding more touches in there like the buildings, fences and walls, think your little man is going to love seeing james appear and di...

Took a bit of cursing trying to get long stock to clear the platform coming around the loop line but I have platforms!

Nice work and welcome

The has not fallen down as the people on trackside have cleared your mess up

Space rocket!

I believe all trains with the same motor/chassis run like it, I have a diesel 090 (I think it’s called) and that runs faster than our flying Scotsman?!!

Had my first try today. Successfully joined a wire to some streamline track. I had a problem keeping the solder on the bit, which is a pointed one. The solder is a gash length I found in my toolbox, so that could be the problem. The iron is a 30w with no name on it. Is a flat chamfered bit better a...
