      O gauge track but 16mm scale, that's the way to go!

      & I thought modelling swiss metre gauge was expensive.

      But then again I bet a huge club room allocated o gauge space helped to move things along? How is swansea this rather wet November?

      Very good paul. Club is moving ahead well, we have taken over the basement which is going to house an o gauge layout.

  4. Earl Bathurst

    Cant decide, do I sell my Hornby 7 car swallow hst or not as it never sees the light of day? Decisions

      I might now someone who'd be interested if you did. Is it the new one?

  5. Earl Bathurst

    0 gauge is such a treat to build. Alot less fiddly compared to the smaller scales

      Kev_Lewis

      Until you get to all the tiny bits you wouldn't bother with in smaller scales. But it's worth it in the end.

    Time to start the 00 clearance. Not looking forward having to list all items ??

    1. muddys-blues

      muddys-blues

      Group items up for different sales, that seems to be the key

  7. Earl Bathurst

    Need a new project but dunno what to do ??

  8. Earl Bathurst

    Very happy picked my ixion fowler up today, not quiet what I ordered but ill have the hudswell clarke next order. Test run and runs beautiful ?

  9. Earl Bathurst

    Just looking at pete watermans layout. Wish I could see it in the flesh

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      There's no flesh big enough to contain that layout!

  10. Earl Bathurst

    Feel like ripping up layout and starting again. can't get it to look and run how I want. Frustrating

    1. Castle

      There is only one way to fix the problems - one at a time. Concentrate on it in that manner and you will be fine!

    2. naturol

      If that's how you feel now, the seeds of doubt are sown, start again dude, keep it simple. And achieve able in a said time. Flog it on flea bay and move on.

  11. Earl Bathurst

    I cant decide if i should keep the fiddle yard or make scenic sidingd. I tend not to use the fiddle yard alot so maybe long sidings will be answer. decisions?

      Definately Scenic Sidings, Why hide your stock

    4. marc smith

      marc smith

      Scenic Sidings are a good idea

      Neil Rushby did an article on them sometime back

      Personally, I like them because you model more of the landscape / surrounding scene

      and they're easier on the eye IMHO - rather than bare wood...

  12. Earl Bathurst

    Can't decide if I sell my 7 car hst set or not. being that I never run it???

  14. Earl Bathurst

    Strange to think I actually started Railway modelling 10 years ago today. How different the hobby is now compared to 10 years ago. :)

  15. Earl Bathurst

    The Corris railway oozes atmosphere I must say :)

    1. Andy M

      Andy M

      I have to agree. I called there a few weeks ago in the pouring rain, all shut up and silent but very atmospheric.
