You'll not have seen the new hoist then?

Tempting as it might be to sneak up to your house for a view of the new hoist, I have so far decided against that course of action.

The new hoist is of course at present in the locked down position.

I saved a couple of locos from my ill fated P76 engineering layout with a view to offering them a new home on QUAI:87. One that is happily trundling about the QUAI's is the Sentinel diesel. This may be one of the few locos that has run on three differing trackwork technologies, having started off as course scale 00 (tinplate) then converted to P76 (P4 in old money) and then back to P87. Still with me? The last change was the easiest. I wonder why 4mm modellers don't just accept the 16.5mm track gauge (which at normal viewing looks just fine) and just stick protoscale wheels on stock so as to enjoy scale flangeways. Dangerous talk I know, but it would save all that faffing about building etched chassis. (What's the plural of chassis?)

Looks like the Sentinel could do with a bit of route learning around the docks.

A 4mil loco on a P87 layout - don't even mention it - I'm having fun in lock up.

Search for my "00-P" RM WEB topic talking about my actual working 00-P activity and all the hysteria and even conspiracy theory it raised.  :banghead:

 

Ditto for making accurate UK track parts actually to 3.5 mm scale.

Hello Andy, I'd love to read all about 00-p but I can't find the entry

It started off  OK for a page or so, but then the derision took over.

Thanks - I'll check it out in the morning. B

I'm glad I left it until this morning. My head hurts. Reckon I could have built another layout in the time it took me to plough through that lot.:)
