  1. Funny you mention No-Ox-Id - there’s a jar or two on their way here as well! Looking forward to seeing the results, my little tiny bit of track currently shares the room with a kitchen renovation workshop. There are a huge number of threads on couplings out there on other forum pages - if leaders fail you might like to look at the Burford Autocoupling or the Flippem coupling, both of which claim to be good at coupling on curves. I have some Flippem bits spare if you want to try them.
  2. That booth is made of plywood - if "super expensive" was meant to be ironic I'm afraid you've strayed closer to an accidental truth! Looking good, they'll be a nice rare feature
  3. Well that's very pleasing indeed. Worth sacrificing the MLV for after all!
  4. As there's already a tower block at one end, how about a great big scrubby buddleia growing out of the brickwork, with a pile of discarded furniture tossed over the wall by residents of the flats next to the railway?
  5. At the current rate of progress, will the timetable be completed by the end of the winter? 🤣
  6. I’ve driven past the pub there a couple of times - certainly looks posh enough to provide high quality! Operating session photos look great, but I must have those ballast wagons off you for finishing!
  7. Bardon Hill is the big aggregate quarry over near my old place in Coalville. GBRF still take trains of stone out, no idea where to but Geoff H used to work on the line back in the day - he’d have some idea about traction
  8. You mentioned lighting circuits ealier in the thread re. the proposed alterations - is this for building /yard lighting on the model or a bespoke solution for lighting the layout as a whole? If the latter, experience has taught that it's best to get it in now rather than hope to find a way to cobble a rig together after the layout is back together. You did ask for people to mae suggestions....
  9. Definitely worth extended contemplation that; I’d take at least a couple of years to plan the job
