      This is the summer holiday

  2. is exhausted but has successfully turned 2 8x6 sheds into 1 16x6 shed for the layout. Time to leave the loft.

      Good work. I hope you've got lots of insulation planned.

  3. is feeling cream-crackered. Spent yesterday turning 2 8x6 sheds into 1 16x6 shed. Should be able to move out of the loft in the next month or two.

      It'll be worth it! No more crouching in very hot or very cold attics!

  5. Heard it before (in post 602 on this page!)
  6. Nice bright lights now in my Heljan 26. Not prototypical, I know, but much more fun!

  7. Finally, managed to fit Bach Class 20 with fibre optic lighting - 3 weeks!!

  8. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-Gauge-14-Railway-Workmen-High-Vis-Jackets-/320754465098?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4aae74b94a £26.00 for just over a dozen oo painted figures. You could buy 4 packs of Dapol for this and paint all 156 guys yourself. Problem would be finding jobs for them all......

  10. I have 2 Heljan 26s which I first chipped with the later 8 pin Hornby decoders. Both locos struggled to start, with noises and grumblings, and performance was poor. Changed to Lenz standard, and the difference was immediate and remarkable, and they are now among the smoothest and most reliable locos I own. JD
  11. Powercab - excellent.

  12. Only for the serious collector, and no picture either.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAINLINE-No-937-378-GWR-MACAW-H-BOGIE-BOLSTER-MIB-/300500806859?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item45f73e6ccb I'll take two......
  13. Two Sky dishes got married last week. The wedding ceremony was a disaster, but the reception was fantastic.
  14. hopefully you don't come to a sticky end?

  15. has laid enough sidings to hold 25 seacows. damn. Will now have to buy another 12 to fill them:)

  16. managed to run 5 separate DCC trains together before hitting the panic button...!

  17. Thanks for the pics - I reckon it needs a bit of courage to take a knife to a brand new loco! I will check out the 26 and see if I am brave enough. JD
  18. I bought 2 Heljan 26s and find that the lights are very (maybe prototypically?) dim, even after tinkering with the CVs on a Lenz standard. Is it a simple enough job to replace the bulbs with LEDs? I like to see the lights a bit brighter! JD
