Cleaned the wheels and lubed the gears and it's running sweet as a nut. The motor is is good condition but one of the brushes is very worn and I'll need to find a replacement soon. 

The 37 was my first "proper" two rail loco. 37s and 11d from Gingers Toy Shop in Banbury. I must have gone into the shop to look at it a dozen times or more before saving up birthday and pocket money to buy it.

There is a setting on the Powercab that you can switch on which allows functions above F12 but I'd have to re-read the manual on how to do it. I've done it on my so I know it works! If I can find it I'll post on here but I think I found it through the magic of Google!

There's also a useful function, if you have the newer software, that allows up to 6 recalls rather than the 2 normally available.

Looks good. I'll await my issue with interest!

What did you use for the water? Looks like blue plastic sheet but it gives the right overall impression.

Looks good!

Sorted out the pick-ups. Not a great runner. I'm going to try swapping the decoder for a stay-alive version to see if this improves matters.

I e-mailed Bachmann last night and had a reply at 9.08 this morning to tell me to check the decoder was the right way up. Doh - it wasn't - problem solved. My thanks to Bachmann for such a quick response.

I've always been extremely impressed with what you've achieved in 2mm. I've bookmarked your blog and will follow it with interest.

Hmm, I'm wondering if you could make something similar based on a couple of Peco loco lifts with some track fixed between. I'm going to give this some thought.

p.s. that wasn't intended to be a negative comment!

Sorry to be a pedant but your BR double arrow symbol is reversed. The top on should point right and the bottom left as in the directions the trains would go on a double track. They were only reversed on the funnel of the Sealink Ferries (showing my age here)

Nice layout!

Looks good to me.

Was this the aerosol version as I've just bought a can? May have to have a trial run before I risk it on some stock. Another make I used turned the humbrol weathering powder white so I thought I ought not to mix brands.

Well, it would probably take me about 2 years, but after reading about your build of the workman's platform I'm sure you can do it!

The workshop roof looks fantastic by the way!

Would I be right in guessing that these must be the only P4 versions of Thomas, Annie and Clarabel?

Very impressive. Can't believe what you achieved in such a small amount of time.

We used to have a "Knobs and Knockers" store near us!

Looks great.

That looks like a nice concept

They look very good. Excellent work.

Looks great!

Very nice.

Is the warehouse the Scalescenes model? Looks impressive.
