Howdy do all,

Decided to clear up what I don't need from the layout and put them in the for sale section points, point motors, rolling stock, I managed to sort my best runner out , it was as good as dead, would not work properly it would just lock up randomly this happened for 5 years I tried everything but nothing would work, so in desperate times I got the WD40 and squirted it all over everything I could see including the inner motor around the gears you name it got it, after reverse and forwarding it for 20 of mins it sorted out .

Tried it this morning and yeah it was great happy days I say

Started the fine detailing of the layout made a few walkways with a couple of concrete pads to link up some of the areas, and on it we have wood and metal sheet stock ready to go scratch built by me.

It is DCC ;)

Wow, the depth of your scenery is brilliant. I love the occasional buildings dotted through the landscape.

Still I also have the universal problem of life getting in the way !
