Transfers all on now and body's back on the chassis,my hands not as steady as they used to be plus some of the transfers are small but it looks alright. Have a day off from the models tomorrow give my eyes a rest then start on the 156s.

Well I knew I shouldn't have painted the 153 too see what it looks like in Northern livery, I now have 150,153,158 and now a fictional but they could be if they get transferred 350emu in Northern colours just waiting transfers from Railtec. The white was from a rattle can and blue brush painted so now it looks like I better start on the two 156 dmus you can see what area it's going to be set in now,all I need is some vinyls to cover the 800 in transpennine livery there's no way I'm painting that one.

Another near miss with the storm yesterday pictures taken from our front door.

Hi Stu Nice too have a chat with you today, your layout still looks great I was hoping to stay longer and come back to you but as I was heading to the restaurant my knee decided it didn't want me to stand any longer and the pain was unbearable so I had to ring my wife to pick me up. I think next show I goto I will take my wheels. Steve

Still no news on house move health no better, this week my mojo come back a bit, another don't know good or bad but wondered what a 153 will look like in Northern livery so stripped it down and painted it transfers are from railtec.some of the transfers was small but it looks alright.the 158 is a dummy unit so it will be coupled to the 153.

Hi everyone Just a short post,a bit of a spark moment brought a bus & a coach on Wednesday morning from hattons nice speedy service arrived Thursday afternoon didn't realise they use amazon as delivery service and arrived before delivery slot well done . Here's a picture I was going to post in August of the AZUMA and my new public transport.

At the moment I wish I didn't have it done it's been 2 months and I am in more pain now than before and knee still keeps giving way,bet Scott laughed as it was you that crashed.

Nice video Scott hope you was keeping to the speed limits,watched it on the big screen last night,did he crash any Ian, layout is getting better all the time.

Hi stu Nice to see your layout still up and running,hopefully I will be going to Weymouth as a spectator so will see you there. Steve

Hi Scott My knee is that bad I feel like getting the saw out and cutting it off,I enjoy the building and running it I think it's a combination of my health and not being able to do anything,we will be staying local need a disabled friendly place,with the morphine in me I feel like I'm floating. I thought you had retired as you haven't been down here

It's been nearly 6 months since I did last update,I had my knee opp beginning of July cleaned out and drilled into the ends of my bones at the moment I wish I didn't have it done in more pain now than before and on the happy juice (morphine) its restricted my standing and walking even more and sleep.on the layout it's all packed up we will be on the move soon so don't know when it will be put back if it does before I had knee done my wife has brought me a train for my birthday this month a Azuma in LNER livery that's the second one have nice, with the problems I have and my other health issues my mojo has gone for now, I keep looking at other layouts on here and youtube hoping to get it back and keep me sane.

Hi why buy a cradle when you can make one,some stiff card and foam for a few penny's.

Hi Adam Any more updates for transferring over to the New owner. Thanks Steve

Layout is looking great, looking forward to it progressing. Sorry I bombarded with all the likes just started reading about it. Steve

Thank you

Thank you

Hi Does anyone know the colour for the blue on northern trains dmus/emus the blue/white livery.i have been looking I think humbrol midnight blue code 15 looks close but I could be wrong or is they a car spray can the same. Thanks Steve

Shame to hear you are finishing, let's hope there is someone who will take it on as I need some more of the vinyls.could do with someone who makes transfers to expand into vinyls aswell. Steve

Superb photo looks really great. Are you going to take it to any local Exhibitions.I keep looking at your layout and thinking I must kick start myself into doing more on my layout.

I have wires on mine they was fidderley to solder, i used guitar strings no 8 & 10. For the cleaning of track I got a minitrix track cleaning wagon I just run up & down it keeps the track clean, across the baseboard join I have only loose fit the wire's with hooks on the end.

Wow that's transformed the front of the layout nice to see trains in-between buildings. now you have all the masts on its all coming together great, not fancied putting the wire's on then.

Yes chrome had crashed mine it got to one stage I could not shut down my tablet.

When I went into browser you have samsung one, clicked on it you have two options I clicked Internet it's Google but not chrome put RMWEB in and it worked fast so I have started moving everything over to it. It seems like everything I have through chrome seems to freeze and shut down I have no virus so it's not that hope that helps

Hi Jo Since I deleted chrome I have no problems with it, in fact it's much faster don't know if that helps. Steve

I keep getting the same I have a samsung tablet, it normally starts alright then a big advert comes up and it all crashes and freezes,I have changed to samsung Internet after forgetting my password not had problem since it loads faster.
