  1. Whats the general view on where the new Heljan ones fit quality and detail wise?
  2. Did any of these types of 25 get to IS ? I’d be tempted at one too... I’ll probably be getting at least one of the head code boxed 24s...
  3. I’ve not decided on an identity yet - it’ll get used as the test loco now throughout the build - I’ll see nearer the time when the layout nears completion and we look to start exhibiting. But yes, I’ve broken my own rules on the layout dates - but so what? It’s a great model that brings a smile to my face...
  4. That was all a bit impromptu and unexpected - something moving on the layout. The model is sublime in every way - I keep nipping back in to fire it back up - that sound !!
  5. So what happened next? As this is my first operational loco (the 2 x 26s and the 27 have P4 wheels but no DCC chips), I’d dug out my DCC controller from Diesels in the Duchy, connected the wiring up. Boom We had our first movements on the layout...

  12. “I’m short of space, the layout doesn’t fit - so I’m building an extension” Love this....
  13. I find it really relaxing on in the background - all familiar stuff from ‘back in the day...’
  14. Well, in case you thought I’d I’ve done absolutely nothing this weekend - you’d be right. Apart from a couple of decent bike rides and... I”m now watching the Alan Harrison collection on YouTube - literally hours of fun. Currently at Inverness with class 26/37 combinations on the far north line. Last night was Par & St Blazey!
  15. So the reason for the 20p tip is that I’m working out the spacing for the droppers and where the holes need to drilled in the mechanism slider strip below. The battery has run out on my callipers but I can still lock them in place to translate the spacing on to the mechanism slider.
  16. I dug this mug out at work today out of the communal mug cupboard, a naturally I thought of you....
