I'll be spare man all that weekend, if you need a hand!

I've slowly replaced the missing photo, that went missing after the great melt down, some are gone forever. Been playing trains to day running Conrail JS-1, a few photos

reset goes back to factory settings, NO loss of sounds

This maybe of some help https://www.intermountain-railway.com/customerservice/dccwebpage/ESU-FAQ-Page.html

A short video of Conrail local switching (thought i'd posted this)

I totally understand your reasons for saving costs, i made the same decision a few years ago, to support exhibition that catered to my interests, due to cost and distanced travelled, wish you luck with the exhibition.

There's a noticeable lack of HO American/continental layouts, must be thin on the ground!!

Maybe a GP35 rebuild to GP38 spec!

Definitely aided some of us through the day!!!!!!!!

I had a Revell tug to add to the back of a layout i was planning, never got much further, i found all doors, windows and fittings were more to scale for N gauge than HO!

Should be ok, just make sure your earthed!!!

May be a photo would help

I had a trip booked which we had to cancel due to the pandemic fly into Boston for a few nights, Amtrak to New York 3 nights then train to Washington DC for a few nights and fly home.

most of Walthers kits are easy to build, with good instructions

What's the purpose of the cross over in the plan?

These are a replacement gear that a lot of people use

Walthers, Atlas ,Intermountain, Scaletrains, Exactrail, Red caboose

Thanks to Andy and all his helpers for another good weekend, though did seem a little quiet at times and sadly the food wasn't as good as the previous years i've exhibited.

I have to agree, really looked forward to getting back on the exhibition circuit, but have done 3 exhibitions now since they started running again, though i enjoyed them, the buzz has gone. My American layouts are 30min setup/drop, I only have one reliable operator, who has other interests, i have a 4x1 layout Brewery sidings which doesn't get out, it's done a few exhibitions and had a few offers, but soon as i give them my location, the next question always is have you nothing bigger, obviously fuel, B&B are same expense for both, so they want more for there buck. Living up in deepest West Cumbria has it's benefits, but certainly not a lot of local exhibitions, that's me till September all other exhibition have been cancelled, so let hope the buzz returns and we get back to normal.

Bump, only six days to go!

You'll save a bit building your own track and switches, what you'll save can go towards all those freight car you'll need to fill such a large yard, not many stockist of N gauge in the UK!!

maybe some useful info on this site http://designbuildop.hansmanns.org/a-guide-to-1920s-era-ho-scale-plastic-freight-cars/

just an update, fitted a coin battery holder and battery, now all back to normal.

How about Big Eagle RR https://appalachianrailroadmodeling.com/railroads/current-day-appalachian-railroads/wfrr-winifrede-railroad/

If your still using the first plan, you need insulated fishplates where they are on my plan and power feeds where shown on my plan ,hope this helps
