You bent the one end and you filed the angle at the other end of the 26mm length?

Hi The wing rails were made from two lengths of rail, one 24mm , the other 26mm. The 24 mm lengths had flat ends whilst one end of the 26mm rails has a slight angle filed to align with the 24mm length." Can I ask if you filed the slight angle at the end of the 26mm length or is this done by Wayne? Regards Steve

I'm 66 and have gone down from full on 50 hours plus working for a north American company to doing 30 hours over 4 days a week, which initially felt like semi retirement, I am hoping to go down to 3 days a week which will be ideal.

This is my BB017 with fiddle yards each end and a pelmet. Still a work in progress 468502809_FrontView.pdf

Perhaps light some but not others, after all streetlights don't all come on at the same time?

Swop the middle and front splashers around and bingo!

Somehow reminds me of LYR Aspinal goods engines

Do you need a goods shed structure, could you have a yard crane in the open air?

Or they can't afford it. I've just begrudgingly paid £3,500 for a new garage roof, it had too be done unfortunately

Hi Stu, We have installed Cobalts on the club layout, the pivot hole plates are an interference fit and don't need to be glued, this allows subsequent adjustment and re-use as well. Regards Steve

Surely its Amps not Volts that is important measure?

Hi Rob, Are your tree armatures roots of any specific plant, they are very convincing, sorry if you have answered this question before. Regards Steve

Hi Rob, I wish I could F.A.R.T like you do Steve

Are you going to cut off some of the spurious non-prototypical plastic from the Peco tie bar area, such as the ends of the 2 sleepers where Peco point motors are fixed and the pips for surface mounted motors?

Stop it flipping over when it braked hard?

Can you run modern Hornby and Bachmann on these?

We may get a few summer exhibitions that may go ahead, but I don't think we will see much happening. A lot of venues (schools in particular) don't want the public using their premises as it means a deep clean, and there just isn't the time on a normal weekend (from Sunday evening until Monday morning) to get a deep clean done. Venues such as the NEC maybe different as they are run on a commercial basis. I don't expect to be going to many for the next 12 months or so

Its a new development of a top feed wood burner

They are very convincing Rob, will you be soaking in glycerine?

Spooky Are the trees pine tree roots again?

Experiment is definitely the way to go, what looks right is right.

Hi Paul, Some thoughts........... So is the function of the pelmet solely for holding up the lighting? Should the height be determined by the brightness required on the surface of the layout. Have you purchased the LED's and driver yet so you can experiment with different heights? Brightness and cold/warm balance will make a difference to how the layout looks Steve

Hi Paul I'm a big fan of the 'theatre' concept of presentation i.e. that the layout is framed from the public viewing side, it concentrates the public towards what you have modelled and provides a neat finished item. The viewer is not distracted by someone moving around behind or next to the layout. I cannot recall when I saw the layout at Warley so I ask the question Is the layout operated from the front or the rear? If it is the rear then surely the height of the pelmet should be of no issue to the operators? Steve

Is that 4mm to the foot?
