I've just realised the irony of this post

I'm glad you've started your layout Dynamite, you were starting to sound like the Judaen Popular Peoples Front, an awful lot of talk but no action "It's happening Reg, it's really happening!!"

Good morning Trev, at this ungodly hour. I'm building my layout in the loft and although it's not really kicked in yet, the pics on my layout page may give you some ideas. Also there are loads of other photo's of layouts in various stages so you won't be wanting for inspiration :D May I also ask tha...

I agree mate, it's far better to have a marathon games weekend!!!

Sorry to hear that Rich, God I hate blood sucking landlords. (Does not represent opinions of the website owners). Or something along those lines Hope you still have access to the net, other wise we will miss your idle banter

Reflecting on the progress, I feel it is coming on, ...

When I stuck the hardboard to the rafters in my loft I used screws, but with hindsight I should have used a nail gun. You can get them from screwfix for about £25, they take all the hard work out of it. They fire 1 inch brads and hold the board well to the joists. Just a thought :o http://www.screw...

As we speak I've just asked saslord to order some points and locos. The layout came to a grinding halt because I broke a left hand point and I have took my time (and a lot of advice on what to buy) to try and get it right Ironduke designed a layout for me as did Pete, but have you ever been in the p...

Thanks Shakey

Good point well made 8) I've got a little 4x2 desk made out of MDF in the loft so I'm not bothered about damaging it. I've just thought, as you cut the card with the craft knife it would be possible that the knife may follow a previous gouge in the MDF and take it off it's line. Would the cutting ma...
