Went to train a prospective weatherer yesterday. She did very well! We also fitted sound to a Dapol O Gauge Sentinel. Worst bit was getting it all back together.. Well done @Debs. Baz -

Different Leagues use different definitions. It gets more interesting when, in a 100 over match the team batting first could use 60 overs to set a target, the team batting second having 40 overs to reach the target or to be a % of the target and not all out by the end of the overs to be a winning or losing draw.

And a bit more visible progress.. Well it is if you spot the white sleeper ends The yard now has.. electro magnets fitted. The magnets use sprung toggle switched (on the "pink" lines. The one on its own is a dead end on off switch for the yard head shunt. Better view of the white sleeper ends. In other news all platforms in place just need some weathering then some station running in boards. Lamps and benches.. more on this soon! Baz- 755 replies

Good idea.. just like the real thing.. Baz -
My Bachmann (and Kitmaster) Mark 1s have been fitted with floor mounted No 5s for years, as have y kit built LMS coaching stock. Makes it easier to remove stock from exhibition layouts and you can still uncouple them using magnets or hand uncoupling on the layout. You just need to make sure the ride heights are correct and position te draft boxes to allow the couplings to go around your tightest curves. (Note not all Bachmann Mk1s have the same ride height due to the variation in bogie set ups and.. the hook and bar couplings can cause derailments in my experience) Baz

Yep 2 can be achieved relatively easily. Most of the locos for Carlisle do this. The English Electric Type 4 and Brush type 4 on Shap are both fitted with legomanbiffo sounds. Both work well.. listening to them notching back as they get to the summit sounds good to me. @1471SirFrederickBanbury.. pick a really hard to machine metal.. Tungsten.. its a so and so to machine..

so been a very busy bee.. not just with Muddling but in trying to get cricket in my Region sorted... Been busy building platforms, wiring, testing and ballasting.. note the 12 wheel dining car in the middle lay by road.. a bit more tidying up on the ballast to do and also need to get the platform edges done. and looking away from the buffer stops.. and some more switches added to the control panel. All points in this rea are mandraulic, ones further out are electrically operated via PECO switches Electromagnets to fit and wire (I will be using sprung switches to operate these. More photos soon!
