    Top stuff from Accurascale and in particular, Simon who has been working on a spares issue for me. 

     

    Arrived in the post this morning. 

     

    Top job and top communication throughout.

    The electronic revolution has been a huge boon for the railway industry, real time trains, open train times maps, tracksy all of which are very useful (but shouldn’t be used for safety critical work) admittedly at the times I’m not ‘safety critical’ in work RTT and the maps are used by myself to see where where my train is, how it’s running etc, certainly saved me standing out in the rain waiting on many occasions! 
     

    It definitely helps - I've helped friend or relatives remotely when they've encountered problems on the rails..

    Great minds, Chris! Although I’m still going through the rationalisation process and hoping to tie up some loose ends before I start on my inglenook. Following with interest. 

    It won't be rapid Andrew - I'm going for an urban look and enjoying doing a few buildings which I think will fit in the foot print.

    Looking forward to seeing another nice layout from you Chris.
    Plenty of inspiration to be had, walking along by the S.S. Great Britain, and the museum on the waterfront nearby - some nice trackwork & buildings etc.
    Hope to catch up soon mate - it's been a while

    Cheers Marc - By a happy coincidence some time ago I acquired a brake van and shunter's wagon lettered for Canon's Marsh across the docks....

    FWIW I'm at Monmouth Show on 11th with Cropper Street

    As one or two may have noticed from comments elsewhere on here I'm planning a new RUB layout - probably an Inglenook with an urban feel but unusually for me it will be pre-Nationalisation and will be a proper test bed for Sprat and Winkle couplings rather than my usual Kadees....

    While doing a bit of research this photo of the Bristol Harbour Railway complete with its very own shunting puzzle popped up on a Facebook Group...Bristol Temple Meads is top left...
