Good call but Lockdown Fen was my first "Lock in" project.....sorry...

The Missenden Railway Modellers virtual Autumn Weekend has drawn to a close but all the content remains on line here: https://www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk/index.php/virtual-missenden-autumn-2020/ The weekend included a number of live zoom sessions which have been recorded and are available here: https://www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk/index.php/virtual-missenden-recordings/ If you have a few minutes and whether you are a Missenden regular or not we would be very keen to hear any feedback which you can leave here: https://www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk/index.php/virtual-missenden-feedback/ Thanks Chris

Chateau Mouton ne c'est pas?

New layout is at the testing stage....don't read too much into the 50 - it was on the workbench having new steps fitted...

H or B?

I think that was my first ever wishlist post but the 8F reference made me weaken...

Stanier 8F.........has to be done...

I use an empty syrup tin with a replaceable lid which I take to the recycling siteperiodically and put it in the metal skip. I tend to mention it to the staff on site but they are not bothered as I assume once its in the skip it does not get handled by real people again?

Joe - the stick can be very basic - just wide enough for a switching lead. This is my Dock Street layout with my small off-scene track at left.

Saturday's zoom sessions https://www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk/index.php/virtual-missenden-recordings/

Now open https://www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk/index.php/virtual-missenden-autumn-2020/

I suspect even Peco are more up-to-date than that....

There are many types of Athearn GPs from Bluebox upwards....I've had one or two issues with their early Genesis sound locos..

There are plenty of downloadable pdfs etc and if it goes to plan (.....and its a big "if"...) the Zooms will be available after the event on the main website. Thanks for the interest. Chris

Can't speak for the GP38-2 but I have one each of their HO "sound value" S4s and GP7 and both are decent "middle of the road" models and runners. Chris

Today - Thursday 15th - is the last day for registering for the zoom sessions - they close at midnight.

Bristol RHTT last weekend. 66846/848

Wise words...I'll stop for a coffee...

I plan to get some track down and see how it all feels...

Planned to be a straight replacement for DSS stockwise but in an urban setting with some shorter NPCS stuff available as well.

I must start a new thread in case the new owner of Dock Street decides to update us ....under the circumstances my new one may be "Lock Street".......sorry....

Marc- sadly all I've done is paint a (plain) backscene and start a bit of wiring...the plan is to assemble as many bits as possible before the big push rather than do little jobs along the way.. I have however been experimenting with card for structures though...a trial build of some downloaded Scalescenes retaining wall..

I'm a bit busy with a new project at the moment....

Mech Models or Model Junction if they are still open. I think Gaugemaster are a Walthers dealer as well.
