Great work as always, Jim. Ah. Track remodelling. That explains the rake of ballast hoppers in the previous post... "...things that you really should have thought more about first time!" It's kind of reassuring to know that even the best of us occasionally have lapses in their forward plan...

I often drop by this thread to see what's new, but (for some reason), fail to leave a comment... I'm quite possibly too awestruck by the incredibly high standard displayed here. However, since I am a bit of a brake van 'ned', the latest products from the BR workshops (see what I did there?) are of i...

The articulated bogie is just visible here on my original Hornby APT.

An iconic, but unsuccessful locomotive, either steam, diesel or electric.

Thanks for the clarification gppsoftware.

Glad to know that the fault will not manifest itself on DC operation.
However, my tests weren't completely pointless, as now l know just how powerful these locos are...

I must either be extremely lucky, or have locos from an earlier batch, as almost two years from when I took delivery of my two D600s, both locos continue to behave impeccably. I have tried to "encourage" a cut-out with both locos by giving them a very heavy trailing load, but without succe...

I tend to scroll past items like those. Same where the seller is obviously parting-out perfectly good locos (usually, but not limited to, Lima) for extra £££. Typical eBay MGBs. Then there's this seller . Yes, his items are usually quite well executed, but is there really that much demand for scrapy...

Absolutely stunning modelling as ever, Daniel. Boatbuilding now, too... Is there no end to this gentleman's talents?! As a bus enthusiast (and having built around a dozen of these models in the past), the cabin windows of the steamboat was immediately recognisable as the former lower deck saloon of ...

Anyone fancy a New Measurement Train?
An absolute steal...

Edited to add:

What's with the current eBay trend with some sellers of listing their items with a four or five-figure price?
Does anyone know the rationale behind this? I'm completely baffled...

Hi Geoff, The tank wagon is a Shell fuel tanker. Having had a quick search on the 'Net, it appears that the decals are like the proverbial hen's teeth, so it'll stay as is for now. It also requires a ladder; I'm sure I have a suitable one somewhere. Failing that, it will probably receive a ladder si...

Hi folks, Thanks for the comments. I shall address them in point order. Bufferstop - Having given the subject some thought since I posted that comment, I now feel somewhat flattered that some people find my images good enough to post elsewhere...However, asking me first would be nice (I will usually...

Over the last year or so, there have been quite a few new arrivals, mainly additions to the wagon fleet. Most are from the usual manufacturers (and were purchased secondhand from various dealers at FBRM Doncaster back in February), but of note are the latest seven vehicles, all PECO 'Wonderful Wagon...

Love the latest photos, those valve cap plant pots are a stroke of genius and really look the part. A great bit of recycling!

Thanks for your lovely comment, Daniel. Despite being an electronics engineer in an earlier life, I truly detest wiring. I really have to be in the mood for it. I won't post a pic of the underside of the fiddle yard boards - Think "multicoloured spaghetti" and you'll get an idea of what th...

Absolutely stunning structure and scenic work. Truly outstanding. B.t.w.: I would love if every member posting a message here would include in his/her post a link to his/her work so I can learn too! (Link to my layout is in my signature, but rather than you learn from my work, I could learn from you...

Despite spending Lockdown 1.0 on furlough, and Lockdown 2.0 playing catch-up with various domestic/gardening projects, I have nevertheless managed to get a bit done on the layout. First task - I cleaned the wheels of my entire loco fleet; after I'd completed this, I then turned my attention to the c...
