have you fitted LEDs to the trackter units or is it a trick of the light ?

loving the speed camera (well i hate then i mean i like the model of the speed camera) as always mate excellent loving your layout

wow thats amazing my dad would love to see this he used to work for network rail pw and spent many a night at water orton ill show it to him it looks amazing

that looks amaing id love to see your comlete layout

I might have to buy something to restore see if I can have a go
 

wow thats so cool id love a dublo layout like that

tis very contagious in the last 4 days ive bought the through station another set of pionts and some half straits and about 5 min ago i got the island station in blue box of ebay for £5 i just need the  footbridge in the blue box ( to match my other blue boxs ) think i have a problem ( dont tell the wife !!)

guess its better than my old hobbie buying cars ! the neighbours dont complain at this

I have just purchased on impulse from a well known auction site the dublo 3rail duchess of athol set which is currently on the dinning room table much to my wife to be's displeasure but im having great fun and so are the kids! my dad has given me some things he had left from his 3 rail when he was a child ive got a turn table signal box buffers and bridge managed to get a through staion of same aution site and 2 sets of points a diamond crossing and uncuppling rail and got a level crossing from a second hand shop in Worcester im also quite pleased that everything other than the turntable has its original box im now looking for more 3 rail

if I had the room id do away with my layout and have it up permanently

looks nice in that colour scheme

wow that looks amazing

  Kit  102 ! that's awesome how cool is your mum

yes the apt is ment to be amazing I hopefully don't have long to wait till I can find out myself

are you into your classic cars your self then Kit?

some may argue that a ford orion isn't a classic theres just not many about any more lol

cheers

Phil

Kit I have the orion wich is in my profile picture just finnshed welding it to get it mot'd again and I also have a 1965 landrover series 2 wich I shall be putting on the road after a few years so I cant wait :-)

did I also mention im getting the apt-e??

lol

I ordered one because iv always had a thing for the apt and the apt-e I saw the apt-e when I was small at York it was outside looking rather sorry for itself and thought wow what a machine! although I probably didn't have enough money when they were announced I did it anyway because I carry with me in my head words that my mate told me in the weeks before we lost him when I used to visit him in hospice on my way home from work he told me if you get the chance to do or buy something you really want don't let it slip grab it with both hands because we only get one go at this and life should have more things that bring happiness to yourself

so if its not to anyone's liking then that's up to them people are entitled to there opinions the world would be a dull place if we all liked the same thngs!! but I as do so many others think its great and cant wait till it gets here weather I have enough room on my layout to use it remains to be seen but im glad I had the opportunity to buy it

sorry for the rant

Phil

I cant wait for my apt to arrive im like a kid a Christmas and my classic car will be on the road again soon double excitement makes for a happy phil

I may have to order this will go nicely with the apt-e

ill be watching this with interest while I am no where old enough to remember the lickey banker or clever enough to build the kit if I could find one im hopping someone dose a ready to run big bertha I only live about 5 mins away from the lickey incline and in my younger days I regularly used to sit up at vigo bridge with my mate drinking coffee and watching the trains for hours on end when he lived up there in his transit campervan good memorys

I now take my kids up there to watch the trains

good luck with the build

phil

very cool Weymouth is my favourite place ive got some great friends in Portland and excellent memorys of weeks down there ans nights out in the town I love the place so will be watching this layout

all the best
