      If that's the ProScale one, you're in for a lot of fun. So much fun, in fact, that you might be motivated to start your own range of state-of-the-art loco kits....

      It isnt, luckily. Its a SE Finecast one, picked up for a decent price off eBay.

  2. Fiddle yard is taking shape

      Nothing as boring as that - it's a hypercube

  3. Is building platforms

  4. Just bought a Hornby rolling road and one of the roller screws has sheared off. Not happy at all.

  5. My brother gave me an N gauge starter set for Christmas...

  6. OK, so I knuckled down and ballasted! Only the final 8 inches or so at the station throat to do. :)

  7. Payday, so sort of bought an engine...

      Well it would be rude not to, surely?

      Indeed, it would!

  8. Really impressed with this N-gauge stuff. Couldn't help mucking around with some layout planning software this evening and pondering if I should 'dip my toe'...

      Glad to hear the water's nice!

  9. Still ballasting

  10. That was quick! The Saint kit has arrived. Lovely!

  11. WHSmiths Broughton Park has both Mallard and Corronation GBL

  12. Yes, I am still ballasting - there isn't a lot, it's just taking me forever to do it...

      I find ballasting quite relaxing

      I think you're probably right. I enjoy it once I'm actually doing it - and of course when it's done, I can stand back and say "I did that" and feel good about it. I must try harder, I think.

      I also like ballasting, I find it relaxing also, but others find it a nightmare to do?
