I'm beginning to doubt that this will be ready by October as I have very little time to do much but I have managed to do most of the wiring for the sections. I will use seep point motors but haven't got started on those yet. I have used plaster to cover the quayside line but think now that was a mistake as it won't seem to go right. On the plus side I was having a look in the loft and found a Lima 37 with a dynadrive system fitted. It is going to need a bit of attention to get it usable again but hopefully there is nothing wrong that can't be put right. Any suggestions for stripping the paint? Lastly, I had a look at my pair of class 20s, both Lima again. I've found someone who stocks the parts needed to put them back together (peters spares) These both fell from the loft hole. Thats it for another week, I'm still working on the Volvo truck in the evenings while I'm at work and its almost ready for painting.

Ive not had much time this weekend to do much (wifes birthday) but I have started the wiring on one of the boards. Ive drawn up the track plan for the control panel which hopefully I will get started on next weekend. I want a few road vehicles on this layout and am using resin truck cabs from RTI on scratchbuilt chassis. This is my first one which is going to be modeled on the first truck I owned 30 years ago. Hopefully I will make a start on the trailer for this during this week while I'm away.

Thank you Ian, I need to crack on with it as don't have much time if I'm to try for the exhibition.

After a break of around 15 years I have decided to make a small layout, hopefully in time for our local exhibition in October. As I work away from home all week this doesn't give me much time so hopefully posting a few bits here will help me get on with it. I'm not too much into detail now so as long as something looks right that will do. this layout will be based somewhere in Scotland as I already have a 25, 26, 27 and 37. I did have a couple of 20s but they got dropped coming down from the loft, maybe I will be able to make 1 of them work by using bits from the 2. Most of my stock is damaged to some degree, how this has happened I don't know as its just been sat in boxes in the loft but almost everything needs new buffers. All my locos are old Lima and as I want to do this as cheaply as possible these will have to do as much as I would like to try Dcc with sound. Later I will be looking for some help as I have forgotten how the wiring goes on the controllers I have but that is still some way off
