Sorry Andy - Office of Rail and Road - known as the Rail Regulator and those responsible for safety and licensing on the National Network. As for a Service Record -think of a CD ... in Lazy Joe's case a blank one by the sounds of it!!!

Rich Cheers Rich, I still miss a OO Roundy, Roundy, and also no room to build any more Layouts. I have been plotting but with no joy as yet. Another couple of sidings on Seven Mills might help, as building is what I enjoy doing, even if it was at a Club or somewhere. Time will tell, we will see what comes next. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 l wondered how long it would be before you got the hankerings for ANOTHER layout ? because with you its once they are built you lose interest and start looking for another venture or project ?

Hahahaha don't worry buddy your not alone, l get bored too... Yes, Building the small Layouts always kept me sane on TOPS. But no room in here I'm afraid, too many hobbies, with 5 Guitars, the Amp and Music system, the high bench for the Art and the Desk for detail modelling. I could do with an old Shed, haha. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you'd said no a Dapol 66 .. or have I got the wrong kind of shed? I suppose you could always do away with the 5 guitars, the amp and the music system - only the same noise as you get from a digital radio isn't it. ...

I joined the local 2FS group 18 months ago, and those guys have been fantastic, helpful and so welcoming, really does help my mojo .. just need to find the time I must admit, I am missing the monthly meetings. Seriously tho, and without wishing to sound silly or daft, is there no way that you could sit a small OO (or dare I say N gauge) layout over the fiddle yard nearest the door .. so it sits on top on a lightweight frame when the fiddle yard is closed up? Wouldn't be big, I acknowledge, but could it give you the best of both worlds, a small area to build something and the O gauge for running and DCC sound?
