A brief interlude of other scales and I am back to the beginning. eBay bargains and the inevitable searches that pass a Sunday evening. I have recently been passed a rather nifty track plan that at 4x1ft is perfect for a shelf layout. Baseboard provided by a Swedish manufacturer just down the road, stock around and about the place...this will be a very quick project creating minimal mess (Wifey request!), be cheap to pull off and not fill our humble abode with trestles tables,lengths of O gauge track or comments of "When did i get that and why?" Plan to follow....

Well said. Absolutely agree.

I bet Fiona has a superb vintage monocle you could borrow!

I think the gentle approach and a bit later down the line (tonights top pun!) is by far the best way. Too much badness associated with hobbies involving railways! Never kept it a secret but just minor comments and sign of interest in things 'railway' are the best way Ive got round to things but only after some time. Ive noticed that girls who are generally arty, perhaps a bit retro, chic and curious about antiques and bygone days (a bit hippy too perhaps) are the ones who have more of an understanding of the hobby. As Fiona Bruce used to be on Antiques Roadshow. I bet she likes Hornby Dublo and Triang. Good luck with it anyway. Whats right will come right!

Hi, Interested to read what your planning. Ive just started the Silver Fox conversion. Hows yours getting on? Be interseted to see it. I was considering doing an early green with whiskers, no lights, gangways but probably do a blue version post refurb. Cheers.
