  1. 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.
  2. That's you of my Christmas card list, must agree with NBL shed layouts can get a bit boring and loud!!!!
  3. last major job has been done over the last couple of days, my loco holding sidings and despatch board. You can't have enough blue diesels, can you!!!
  4. Short line L&M RR have a switching contract with most of the industries in Lakehurst IP, in case they need a car moved or spotted, to day there pulling some loaded box cars to spot empties, the loaded will be picked up by the Monday Conrail freight JS-1.
  5. they sand very easily or as take a notch out of the sleepers, it won't be that much
  6. Alco on this mornings local, turn up the volume!!
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. East Jackson back home, thanks to Les and his team for a great weekend
  10. 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!!!!
  11. It's little things like getting our layouts in the model mags, that make all the work we do seem worth it, well done
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
