Thats it off for a cold shower!! Love it and it's just clicked your Ian? I watch you youtube videos they are superb. Stay Safe! Darren NSE DAZ

Hi Barnaby & Steve its good to be back! To be honest I feel a little rusty so need to get my head around it all again but love what I am seeing on the 0 gauge world these days..... Thats it Steve I remember that method of weathering the tracks be doing it this way again. Stay Safe! Darren NSE DAZ

Paul I just found some of my old pictures of my last O gauge venture! I used the Peter Clarks benches and these are spot on, 10 bricks high like in the link you sent....

Hi Paul, thats my thoughts and looking at the picture for reference it looks way to short. Cheers mate

Hi all I purchased some NSE style platform benches from ebay last week, I have taken them out of the box but to me they just look way off scale, do you agree? The figure is from Modelu and the bin from Peter Clark's range just to put it all into perspective. I know Peter Clark sale's the brass kits of these benches but for me are awkward to assemble, the 3D printed options seem the way to go. I have asked a 3D printing company to have a look at making some for me so fingers crosses!! Cheers Darren NSE DAZ

Hi Scott hope you ae well mate, many thanks apprecieated cheers

Nah theres plenty more where that come from bigger speakers in 7mm as well...............

Ian that was my first venture in 7mm, you learn from your mistakes haha I set Stumpy free into the wild....

Hi all, Just a shout to Alan at Modelu and to Claudia Everett who painted these four figures for me the detail is fantastic. Going to place a order for a few more. Cheers Darren NSE DAZ

Hi Ian many thanks, yes when this COVID does one we must have a catch up for sure! Hope you are well. Cheers

Many thanks, hope you enjoy this next instalments....Cheers

Andrew to be honest you got me back into the game! I have been watching all your videos they are fantastic. Cheers

Many thanks, yes it was so much fun but we also was burning the candle at both ends!! One month we attended four shows, we never saw our families it got a little too much.

Hi All, Its time to start back up again after spending a couple of years away playing buses! Lockdown has got me thinking about life in general, life is too short and one thing that I do keep putting on the back burner is a home/exhibition style 7mm layout!! its one of those things that I keep putting off but feel that the time is right to start back up. As many of you know I have spells of starting and not finishing layouts, but hey most of us do that, dont we? I sold Croydon North Street off a couple of years ago now after attending 19 exhibitions in two years, we got burnt out.... I do miss the shows and the new friends that I made along the way so by creating a new build I hope that I can rejoin my long lost family once more! The track will be based on a minorise small urban style passenger layout with a scenic section of 16ft x 2ft and a separate fiddle yard being around 8ft x 2ft. The layout will be designed to fit in my garage of our new home we will be moving into in the near future (The fiddle yard only to be used with the garage door open) The layout will also being portable to show at exhibitions. The layout will be based on the late 1980s/early 90s again it will be Network SouthEast themed. The layout will have a third rail so EMU's can be used along with DEMU's and diesel stock. So the stock......I can reveal that so far I have the following: Class 4EPB fully finished with sound and in NSE livery Class 2EPB fully finished with sound and in NSE livery Class 4VEP fully finished with sound and in NSE livery These are all with Peter Clark at the moment and are the one's that he used on his layout Leavesden. Heljan Class 50 - 50 029 Renown in Revised NSE livery. This is at the Weathering works soon to be getting transformed. I have pre-orders in for 4x MK2A NSE Heljan coaches along with a Heljan Class 73 in large logo livery. I have never been that good at building layouts so have asked the help of an RMwebber to kick start the build, so planning behind the scenes will start soon (More on this later) Thanks all and hope you enjoy the upcoming ventures of Gillbury.... Stay Safe! Darren NSE DAZ

Very nice Andy I have been following you on Facebook keep up the good work! Darren NSE DAZ

Hi all sorry to drag this up from the depths!! But is there anyone that produces the third rail pots? Peter Clark is out of stock but I am sure that I saw some 3D printed ones knocking about? Stay Safe! Darren NSE DAZ

Hi Nick are these for sale? Also what do you use as third rail? Cheers Darren NSE DAZ

I know!! I was at a stage where I was gathering evidence etc and had several RMWebbers help me build a case then Vin made contact with me again and it all looked like a genuine mistake! I am to soft but am now starting to loose all patiance with this and have been seeking advice via my union etc...i have had quite a few PM's with advice quite touching. I am giving him a couple more weeks then going to take action!! Thanks for your help Darren NSE DAZ

Hi Peter, I am still in contact with Vin as he is selling 7mm name plates on ebay at the moment, he said that he is still very busy and has promised me pictures of the recent progress! I am going to wait until the end of this month then I may have to have re-think what my next move will be at this has been sevral years now and £1800 is a lot of money to loose!! Lets just hope the pictures show up in the next few days? I appreciate we are all busy but now taking the Mike a little as still selling other items on ebay etc..... Thanks for your support. Daz

Hi Peter, Thanks for your post. I am sorry to report that I have still not had no pictures or seen any evidence that the 442 is being built? I am contacting Vin via his ebay account but he always states that he is very busy and has not made any progress!! He seems to be selling 7mm class 50 nameplates at the moment and has time for this? I am hoping that he will do the decent thing and complete the 442 or return my large amount of money that I have paid him so far!! If I have any updates you all will be first to know.......Fingers crossesd....... All the best Darren NSE DAZ

Hi LaScala, I had also given up all hope and yes I am still not over convinced as I have not seen any evidence of the progress i.e pictures etc.... I am hoping that after a conversation with Vin, after discovering he is selling 7mm nameplates on ebay, that he is telling me the truth and works are going on!! I will be giving him a deadline plus will be requesting pictures... Fingers crossed as this is a lot of money to loose! Darren NSE DAZ

Hi all, I am trying to source a working level crossing in 7mm. It must have Ilfting barriers with the flashing warning signs! Any pointers would be appreciated. Cheers Darren NSE DAZ

Hi all, Just a little update and maybe some light at the end of the tunnel? I am back in talks with Vin and he is promising me that the 442 is still being built.... Lets hope I have some updates for you all soon as its now been over 5 years wow!! Vin is selling 7mm class 50 nameplates on ebay so know he is well. As soon as I have any updates I will let you all know? All the best, DAZ
