    Did a bit of railfanning today, heard there was an ex CNJ RS3 out on the local, caught up with it at Dunrite sand, struck lucky as a through freight went passed with a pair of GP10's as power, looks like the one on the point is fresh out of works, i like it when a plan comes together!!

    Ah, didn't know you were catering for mums and kids, domestic animals ie cats and dogs and birds, would look ok, but timid animals like deer etc would be frighten by any noise, my 59th and rust layout, had 13 cats, 5 dogs and 20 birds all blended into the layout, for any kids to find ,that if there parents stop long enough for them to see, JAAL

    If you've 25 mins to spare ,I've done an OPPS video testing my revised switch list, quiet a bit of switching to do for just two box cars, off spots covered hoppers to move, switching off spot box cars about, they need spotting first, all in a days work!.

    this guys done a 6 part video on decoder install on BB sw1500 similar chassis
  12. long island jack
    looks like SW7 chassis, there not to hard to add a decoder, i did one years ago, just make sure you isolate the motor, might be a good idea while it's all dismantled to give it all a good clean and re lube, there's plenty on YouTube about adding decoder to old blue box.

    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.

    That's you of my Christmas card list, must agree with NBL shed layouts can get a bit boring and loud!!!!

    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.

    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.
