  1. I have a micro layout and I haven't done anything to it for the best part of a year. Need to pull my finger out and get my mojo back. 

  2. Two brothers. In a van. And then a meteor hit. And they ran as fast as they could.

  4. Had a rather joyous, albeit temporary dream last night that Hornby announced an LNER E4 - wishful thinking, or a premonition?

      I had hoped that Locomotion would announce this, not to be, we get a Precedent instead. Still feel this will not sell as well as an E4.

      Perhaps they have now got a feel for balancing a 2-4-0 and it will set a Precedent....

      A Precedent does have the pretty/collectible factor - an E4 has a more bucolic/‘cute’ look to it though. Fingers crossed - as I have been doing for the last few years! 

  5. 10 93's for ROG.

      I'm gutted, I love snow! On my way to London this morning, and it appears the furthest east it got yesterday was around Ipswich.

      There are a lot of converging and diverging roads between points at the level crossing just north of Exeter St Davids

  12. Ballasting done. Starting to look more like a railway now!

  13. Ballsed up track weathering/painting, arghhh

  14. Been a busy week - trainspotted around London, went to Dublin to see Kanye West, then went to Finsbury Park to see Kanye again Friday, only just got home tonight. Lay-in needed!

  15. Been dabbling with modelling clay this evening, rather enjoyable that.

      Well, I suppose you do need to model clay if you want to put a pottery business on your layout.

      Nope, just get it out of your system by looking at CJ Freezer Rabbit Layouts...

  20. Can we please sign Arturo Vidal already

      Hadn't changed them since we moved in, has been on the to-do list. Dirty business indeed. Bolts were completely rusted so spent 30 mins smashing the hinges on both seats with a hammer to weaken them enough to pull out with the claw. Previous least favourite chore was taking out the bins, but that is a joy in comparison.

      It can also be annoying when working on said appliance when you find out that the various parts are not bog standard after all.

      Agreed! b- a PIG of a job and none of the modern bits fits properly!

      You got a link to the layout Andy? I'd be interested to see. My OO Gauge layout lives in our bedroom at the moment, so definitely no chance of a second layout at the moment! One day I'll have a railway room...
