    Hi Craig Sorry none at the moment car fixed which left me with £80 out of the £900,me mother got rushed into hospital so with work then going there after work not getting home till late now I have just got over from being ill my doctor straight to the point has told me if I don't slow down I will be in a box before i'am 60 heart not resting so according to that got to get my layout done within 3 years. Hopefully within the next few weeks I will start doing some more.The 121 is a good kit to build any problems building it let me know and I will try and sort it out. Steve

      I always thought alcoholic beverages were part of the solution - getting drunk - which then ensures you get off to sleep & get a decent night's sleep.

       

      Well - that's the theory, anyway ... .

    Well day 4 of 5days off after the first 3 days Christmas shopping wished we done it before we went on holiday I now know what a mule feels like glad the wife was at work today.so I decided to glue the seats straight to the floor of the DMU waits till set then tried the body on i though i allowed enough room wrong so got to take them of again and move them in a bit more then some of the under floor stuff fell off so glued them back on so seats will be redone tomorrow so I started doing the track tried doing a track plan on any rail but I could not get it to work so here's a pen & paper one.The layout is 10ft 6in x18in 7ft 6in scenic 3ft fiddle/cassettes.

    Hi Craig All the best with 7mm Steve
  16. spenc
    Hi Craig You will enjoy 0 gauge the Easy build kits are great to build if you have built a DC kit the EB kit is easy plus better for your eyes got 5 days off now so I can crack on with the model & layout got some track & points so I can see what plan I can come up with I still have a class 33 kit which I started building when I first had a dabble in 7mm I keep looking at it but the lack of instructions I don't know if I will ever get it built I should have got a JLTRT one.Saving me money now ready for Bristol in January hoping to have a good spending spree.I am going to get another 121 from Shawn that will be painted in NSE colours.Hope to see some fellow RM members. All the best with your build Steve

      Egypt is still a bit "hot" in all senses of the word. If you didn't go, would that make you a bit of an al-Sisi?
