Hi MRH S C Rruffy must be there to pick up the narrow gauge slate trucks that got totaled and other scrap metal :D Interesting idea I am pretty sure the great man himself did the quarry branch as a model will see if I can find the link for you. Dare I suggest this becomes an extension of the other T...

Hi Alexander Those Hornby cottages are not the best thing Hornby ever manufactured. I have a couple of them my self. They certainly need some work on them to be useful. My solution to that problem was a bit more costly than yours. I have fitted Peco window frames with plastic chocolate box glazing t...

Hi thebritfarmer Working lights. Makes perfect sense when its dark and the layout lights are on and the room lighting Off. It adds another experience layer to the layout. The only other time layout lights are any good is in dinghy poorly lit exhibition halls where they can be seen. There they are ju...

Hi John, I think you've fallen into the trap of buying with your eyes and not with your head - a common pitfall in this hobby! I did the same with Essellty. You need to step back from the layout and be brutal as to what stays and what must go. With Essellty I sold more than I bought and currently h...

Hi all I have enough information to build an in the style of Dublo building from a second hand book I recently purchased, and taking a few measurements from the necessary modern platform for platform hight. I see that from time to time white metal replica Dublo station windows turn up on the dreaded...

Hi m8internet Beaurocratic maddness at work don't you just love it NOT. Might be quicker to go to the archives and see what they have, which is where I got the drawing of the Glen Finnian viaduct from. I tried to get that drawing from the powers that be and they did not know what I was on about. reg...

Hi m8internet Not surprised the modern companies are being BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!! erhm oops sorry about the language but they don't seem to provide assistance at any level. It is possible they don't even have the information you want, if your privatization went anything like ours. A lot of informati...
