Stunning.

"Watch it - there are so many different aspects to the hobby, most slightly addictive. In my opinion it's a 3D art form that can either cost a fortune, or be done on the cheap." Dad 1 is quite right. As I live in the US, I have to practically sell a kidney to get this nice British stuff. I...

I am sitting on that dining coach, eating roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding, watching the British countryside glide past. Lovely photos. On second glance, I noticed the rusting lorry. As a child in Britain, such things were treasure. We spent hours "driving" an abandoned lorry through the f...

What is too clean, the children or the posts? Looks fabulous. Shunting layouts not done much in the USA, and this one looks amazing.

Fabulous views of a modern range layout.

To quote the great Mick, "I know, it's only Rock 'n' Roll..." This is a track plan that has a lot of opportunity for interesting operations, particularly with DCC, which is all the rage these days. There is an ability two trains at once, competing for the diamond territory, with a third id...

Terrific back story on the third class problems. I can only imagine some valiant lad flying over the side trying to snatch a lady’s hat coursing into the breeze. Dreadful outcome, that. Early American rails, as you might know, often consisted of cast iron straps nailed upon a sub rail of a softwood,...

Thank you very much. These designs catch the idea very effectively. I have more to reply, but am somewhat
limited by the constraints of this tablet. More later.

Service is expanding. Electrical rail service now available. See all the sites from the
comfort of your coach. See Britannia reveal her secrets...all for one low fare...

Well done, looks like you are getting some satisfactory use out of it.

Adding the last bit of fencing. I don't think it is necessary to map out every kilometre of fencing, but enough to suggest that it is there. A rather interesting look, enjoyable. I threw away these awkward lateral braces included by Hornby and affix the fences with clear Gorilla Glue and hold the fe...

Some years ago I did own one, quite a challenging piece of equipment, that. As you know, it comes with an oven mitt. Gradually cracking the throttle, nothing happened, so a little more, nothing, little more, nothing, little more, and it shot away like a dart, straight through the curve and over the ...

I checked out those links, Dale, very interesting. I model in both British OO, my all time favorite, and also a bit in North American HO. It is desired to shrink down my HO layout a bit, it takes up a lot of real estate, and the ability of UK modellers to convincingly utilize a small space is someth...

You’re running live steam?

An abundance of humanity brings this remarkable layout to life. I must imitate your rain puddles- that is so neat.
