Looks great Andy, glad to see you have your mojo back, love the sweeping curves. Best wishes Nige

Hi, it is very similar to the SMP which I've used before without any drama, but not as robust and forgiving as the normal peco code 75 'finescale'. I took great care to lay it flat (ironically replacing some code 75 which had rested there for some time) on a well prepared surface but now has dips and rolls in it after intially being flat. I know its not the board as it is good hard wood which the code 75 sat on quite happily as flat and smooth as a snooker table! It's a bit of a mystery and really ticking me off as the bullhead does look so much better! Best wishes Nige

Andy, if its any consolation i think my bullhead rail is also bound for the skip and I'll be going back to normal code 75. Even though i put it down very carefully its now like a roller coaster and cant work out why! Best wishes Nige

Hi Andy, That's a shame would have loved to see it in the flesh as it were! West Shed was the inspiration for my latest effort and a favourite of mine. Will try and get over on the Sunday! Best wishes Nige

Andy, will West Shed be at your show? Best wishes Nige

Sorry to hear the news Andy, had that happen to one of my layouts once and it all ended up in the skip. On the good side, blank canvas again! Best wishes Nige

That point rodding looks very good, well done! Best wishes Nige

You dont want to do it like that you want to do it like this! Rule 1 applies; keep up the good work Andy! Best wishes Nige

Hurrah! Looking forward to seeing it. Best wishes Nige

Looking good Andy!

Looks great Andy, inspiring stuff. Best wishes Nige

Hi Andy, The harbour master's house looks much better; who knows the siding could have been for delivering supplies to RAF AIr Sea Rescue launches during the war! Looks great as always and keep up the good work. Best wishes Nige

Happy birthday Andy! Best wishes Nige

Andy, what did you use for the backing of the level crossing gates? Best wishes Nige

How does the 700 run Andy? Looks like a lovely model. Best wishes nIge

Great shots Andy, with such variety on the timetable I'm half expecting Ivor Peters' Bentley to be parked up on the Lane and the man himself lurking somewhere recording the workings for posterity. Lovely layout, really enjoying the photos. Best wishes Nige

Well done Andy, looks great! Best wishes Nige

Looks great as always Andy, you certainly have the eye for great cameos. Best wishes Nige

Great work Andy! Can't believe the rate of progress at such a good standard too. Best wishes Nige

Nice work Andy, especially the level crossing scene; very atmospheric. Best wishes Nige

Good stuff Andy, very convincing indeed! Best wishes Nige

Proper job Andy! Best wishes Nige

Happy Christmas Andy, thanks for all the inspiration, great to see your layouts spring to life. Best wishes Nige

Andy, I am astounded at the pace of progress on the branch; all looking very good. I've only just finished an SECR H class I've been carting around for 30 years! We should call you Isambard! Best wishes and great to see the updates Nige

Beautiful work Andy! Best wishes Nige
