Why would Andy want something inferior? 73’s are more powerful, take up less room, and the neighbours would hardly hear them. Also if he lays 3rd rail into the reception siding, it doesn’t even need a sound chip as it will be 100% authentic on electric Edited April 28, 2021 by 47606odin 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47606odin Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 I’m still here everyone, having been sidetracked with my live steam loco, and hitting the mojo wall having got to do some repetitive jobs with the cromptons and making some windows for the shed building which I’m just not looking forward to, but I know this will make a big difference and start the build moving forward again, but I still haven’t decided about moving rooms in the house due to lack of room in the house to make it an easy project. However, it appears the Ever Given has been released by the Egyptian government, so maybe my route learner 122 might make an appearance in a couple of months 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't say if it's in construction livery though.... I have never come remotely close to finishing a layout and havent even started one since I was 15. The more I read peoples' threads on here, the more I think you put in a massive amount of effort then lose interest at some point. I'm increasingly thinking little cameo photo scenes might work better for me and a non scenic test track or garden loop.

I'm increasingly thinking little cameo photo scenes might work better for me and a non scenic test track or garden loop. I have completed one small coffee table size N gauge layout, but others I started in OO never got completed. There was always something that niggled me, and drove me to start again Hither Green however is different, I am further on than I have got to in OO, but I’m now at the point where I am out of my comfort zone, scratch building the depot itself, but there isn’t anything really niggling me, it’s just motivation at the minute because I have some repetitive boring stuff to do, then a lot of decoders and lights to buy and fit. once I have window frames in the building then the office block will be quick to finish, then I have the shed roof to build. It’s a labour, but a labour of love, and unlike my last layout, I will push on 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47606odin Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 We are on the work bench. Procrastination completed over many months, let’s crack on first job was to lower the rear wall, as I hadn’t left room for a roof. This will be made using a bit of modellers license as it’s not visible once the shed roof is built floors were added to the pay office and notice room/drivers signing on point, and floors painted dark grey assuming Lino flooring. Holes added to run the illumination starting to add the concrete supports and lintels on the end wall of the water tank support part of the shed 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47606odin Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Well, it’s been good progress today. the rooms have their floors, the walls are the right size, the water tower has its pillars and beams in place, and the windows have their sills fitted. the whole thing has a coat of paint or primer ready for proper painting to start on Thursday 8 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
