It should be okay but I am not sure what DC controller that you are using. I have an old H&M Executive controller which has a total output of 2 amps and I am able to test any new DC loco that I purchase with no issues even the double motored Heljan loco's. You can purchase these relatively cheaply from a well known auction website. I hope this helps.

I have at least 75,000 colour slide scans of photos taken by us plus thousands of scans of black and white photos. Then there are many thousands of digital photos as well! Blimey David..... You must be associated with the likes of the British Railway Museum, in all fairness if it wasn't for you and your parents photography we would have missed out big time. Thank you soooooo much for sharing, very much appreciated....

I have purschased a few items from these guys and, Yes they are well worth it.... Stunning items that make a layout. 😃

Absolutely stunning 👍

I still think you should get the builders to knock a hole in the wall so you can run through from the den via the living room, dining room and kitchen into the garden. I am sure I can get your fostered trio back to sort the planning and then to implement the building work..... Let me know lazy Joe and relatives aren't doing much at the mo 😀

A lovely touch 👍

Steve, That's exactly how It started..... saying to myself that I only need 3 or 4 loco's, a few wagons and possibly 3 coaches. O gauge is an addiction so It never ends with just 3 or 4 loco's.....😁 I recently replaced the shelving in the office and SWMBO came home and stated that she wasn't expecting the shelving to run all along the whole wall. I just replied that it was safer so the loco's couldn't fall off the ends then she said "that now there were larger gaps between the loco's"..... I just smiled and slowly filled the gaps with more loco's. 🤣

I have to agree with you both that the 26's & 27's have a special place with me. I spent quite a few years (1978-84) going to scotland especially heading for Inverness. In those days you could always wander around the yard and nobody bothered you. Although the Railfreight livery was nice I still think you can't beat a nice grubby one in BR Blue complete with headlamps.

Steve I think you are doing a brilliant job and I have to agree with Rob .... It's amazing what you can fit into a small space and this is giving me quite a lot of thought.... Next stop for you, hopefully we will see this on the exhibition circuit.

The asphalt has come out really well..... it certainly looks good. 👍

Steve You could always remove one of the motors from the Class 26 & 27 and just fit a smaller chip as you loco's will never draw too much current on a small layout.... Just a thought.

Great looking layout Steve, love the cars

Chris Some good changes taking place, definately will be following with interest.

another era ends......Only one thing to say Hasta la vista Andy 😁
