Popular Post KNP Posted March 18, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Last couple of days my 10 year old grandson has been with me to try and keep him out of harms ways....unfortunately he is on the top of the Government's At Risk list. Now I have got Little Muddle running the best it has ever run he has had the time of his life alternating between play trains and watching the strangest program I have ever seen called The Amazing World of Gumball. He has just left with his Dad and informed me he had switched everything off and parked the trains safely...... Intrigued to see what that meant I have taken this picture of his idea of running a safe railway......until tomorrow when he returns!! The Station Master is pulling his hair out, he only popped out for a cup of tea and came back to this...... What is pleasing to me is that everything arrived in this positions under there own steam, so to speak. Edited March 24 by KNP 20 5 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrainMan2001 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Your layout looks very nice. I like how detailed everything is. Out of curiosity, what type of couplings do you use? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted March 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Chaos at Encombe Town Station This is the Heading on this mornings Little Muddle Gazette where mayhem still reigns at the station. It was decided, for insurance purposes, to photograph the proceedings for future records when dealing with any possible claims. Ken Dobetter was called in and these are his picture.... Meanwhile over at Little Muddle all was surprisingly quiet Though concern has been raised over how the NE wagon got into the middle of the goods yard.... Ohhhh…..and he is up there now so more updates to follow! Edited March 24 by KNP 18 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted March 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) He’s back down for a drink and crisps so I sneaked up there.... Apparently he assured me Prairie 4550 pulled that lot around from Encombe Town! On the main line it looks a bit more sedate Though the combination of an auto coach and large loco coal wagon pulled by a Dean Goods is interesting. On the computer now so I think the layout is safe for now!!!! Edited March 19, 2020 by KNP 21 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Funny what you find when not looking for them. Going through the wall cupboards over the station I came across a bag, being nosey I opened it and I believe I found my next few projects!! Where or when I brought these I have no idea....
