    Spent most of the weekend trying to scratchbuild a roadbridge; fingers and eyes just not working together it seems; ah well, it'll be done eventually...!

      I'm like you then. Trouble is, there's me reading this whilst eating my wife's home-made ice cream. Guilt buds as well as taste buds being tickled...

      Haha looks like I'm not the only one then; lean meat, veggies and lots of cycling seems to be a plan to start with for me...!

    Sorry I don't know much about the Pullmans although they do look great, but I just had to say that Type 4 looks awesome - is it D287? (can't make it out that clearly...) Excellent stuff David

    I have a Marks & Spencer Evening Star trainset which my Father gave me a number of Christmases ago; I model in N gauge so have no use for it on the layout, but I find it hugely therapeutic to simply lay it out on the dining table, mats and all, and just watch the train go by for a while...! Playing Trains; can't beat it... David

    Just adding my thanks and appreciation for what has been an eye-opening, informative and engaging thread with some truly memorable pictures... Only thing for it now is to go back and re-read the whole thing... Oh, and another vote from me for the printed and published copy! David
