    Can't recall if I mentioned it in this thread, but over the years I have amassed around 150 turnouts from the various incarnations of ET.  They've been piling up on the floor and I was close to binning the lot until I asked for advice on RMweb whether or not they were worth selling.

     

    I'm staggered by the response I have had.  Within hours 35 went in a job lot.  Then a double junction and another order for six turnouts.  Tonight another 33 have gone, so the whole day has been spent cleaning, testing and fettling every one to make sure they are 100% and the new owners are pleased with their purchase.  Tomorrow will be the same, checking and cleaning the all the turnouts from this latest order.  Many thanks guys, I really appreciate your custom and your investment will ensure purchase of new materials to fund this version of ET.

    I'd just like you to know that I've been following your work from time to time for some years. A year ago I started contructing my own turnouts, and you were the inspiration. I looked at what you could make, and immensely helpfully HOW you had made them, and wanted to try and do something even half as good myself. So I might never again have anything meaningful to write on to you, but I owe you a huge thank you!

    Wow! I've just spent a happy hour wandering through the pages after a link from Scalefour's fb group. Although English, I live in DK and lived an hour or so north of Ribe in the 90's. Your layout is incredibly evocative! I have a friend in Jutland with an enormous H0 layout in his roof (eg. it takes trains about 4 minutes to get from one station to the next, and there are about 7 stations - it's all done with very intricately concealed loops), and since he is slowly building west Jutland in H0 I've sent him a link. It is a staggering layout, especially the conversion of the loco's etc. Incredible!
