I like/dislike foreign layouts - discuss
long island jack replied to TEAMYAKIMA's topic in Modelling musings & miscellany
Sadly there are a lot of blinkered exhibition goers, myself being an American HO modeller, appreciate any type of modelling, scale, steam or diesel, good modelling is just good modelling what ever type. -

Just replaced all my home made derails with some from Yelton models in Canada, postage is $25 Canadian dollars i ordered 6 packets, it worked out about £5.50 a pack of two, there well made and work well, there are left and right hand derails, i replaced the brass wire provided with a cut down Peco track pin, means i only need to glue one end. https://www.yeltonmodels.com/product-page/ho-scale-derail -

Well, great weekend at Preston ( as always) layout run well, once both operator got the hang of running it (due to the lack of exhibition practise) lot of favourable comments and possible two invites for 2025, so a win win all round, here's to our next outing. -

A lonely box car waiting to be picked up, scheduled for Saturday morning at 10am by the East Jackson local, come along and enjoy the fun, see you there!!!! -
It's little things like getting our layouts in the model mags, that make all the work we do seem worth it, well done

At the end of last year, i did an exhibition, where the accommodation was 6-7 miles from the exhibition and no pubs near!!, i ask if i could book my own hotel a bit nearer the exhibition and nearer the pubs, they gave me the room price of there hotel and i footed the difference, a win win all round, maybe a good option to offer both.

Another area i've just finished is where Lakehurst yard was, it was two stub end tracks, which have change to a branch line which leads to a smaller fiddle yard and an off spot track. Decided i need some where for my ever increasing collection of Eastern road PS2 2bay hoppers, so added a spur of the branch to a sand loader, just a few trees to replant and it's ready for service.- 149 replies
