    Converted my first loco (class 47) to EM gauge. Very pleased with result :)

      Ill stick with it. I think i need to sort everything out and cut down the amount of projects i have down to minimum then maybe things wouldnt be so hectic

      Hi Scott, we all have days like that...

      If I'm frustrated with a project, I put it down and do something simple...

      ... something I know I'll enjoy - like weathering a few wagons etc

       

      Stick to it matey - that's the key :)

    Has finally made a start on the layout again. Now do i make a blog or not?

    1. Armchair Modeller

      Armchair Modeller

      Personal experience suggests that forums get far more attention than blogs ;)

    2. Earl Bathurst

      Earl Bathurst

      I have in the past put a forum for the layout but never had any responce to questions. Ill try one again i think

    3. Armchair Modeller

      Armchair Modeller

      Try an attention-grabbing headline to make it sound interesting

  22. Earl Bathurst

      Yes. The walk under a castle class loco is worth it! The layout list looks really good too. I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow.

      Denmark is probably a bit far. If you wanted to see Hungerford it was in one of the magazines I saw in Smith's today whilst picking up a MRJ.
