I still getting side tracked by your cabinets and you seem to run the same type stock... I'm looking at your cabinets stock and I'm saying, Got, Got, Got, Need, Got, Got, Need, Need, Got, Would Love, the Would Loves are to Coaching stock not yet available other than through scratch built lol haha You have a great running stock and your photos of progress updates is brilliant.

Hi Anthony Ashley Just came across this layout it was the title of the Thread that got my attention as I live in North Wales nearer to Caernarfon than Bangor, your plans look good. Great photos to, I like the way you have hung the track below on Rods...! Do you find this a good way and works well, I have a load of spare rods but that was more for an Helix, but I may go Under like you and round. Looks huge what size is the hole layout on...? I take it you being in OZ, you have the room for it in OO Gauge...? Keep up the good work bud. Regards Jamie

other than for

Hi WestRail642fan I totally Agree Legend to and like you say WestRail642fan... I'd go with Directional Lighting Only personally if it as that Picture next to the APT-P (I certainly wouldn't expect any more than that), and as Legend says QUOTE: "if you look at prices I’d be surprised if they have full interior lighting at £40 a coach" You only have to look at Bachmann DCC Fitted with Lights now at £65-£75 plus pounds PER COACH and Bachmann Coaches are a far more Superior Coach (in my eyes ONLY) than any of the Hornby's Coaches, saying that the Hornby MK2F @£31.99 are getting better, looks wise, fare better that the Hornby Mk2D/E's. I guess the 3D Scanning of the APT-P will also help get the coach more spot on accuracy wise. I would like to see Hornby do a Lighting Bar though if I'm honest for the Coaches as an ADDED Extra as in... Sold separately like LTM aka London Transport Museum did for the LTD ED 'Bachmann 35-990, 35-997, 35-995, 35-995A, 35-996 London Underground S-Stock Motorised 4 Car Train Pack', With an Extra 4 S-Stock Coaches Sold Extra making it an 8-Car Set and also they sold a Internal Lighting Bar sold separately for Each Coach (or may have been a 4-Pack Lighting Bars, can't quiet remember now...!?! Regards Jamie Sorry I mean to take the QUOTE from WestRail642fan (Original) not Legend who was Quoting the same QUOTE

Oh very Nice... Can't beat the Prototype Deltic and it runs so smoothly, One of the Best Bachmann as produced, I think... Regards Jamie

Hi Pylon King Looking very SMART... it's those type of items that makes a Layout look more realistic for me... Yes, Paul's old MRC Club and the Show at Hazel Grove MRC last year 27/28 October 2019, there was a stand that made some exceptional looking Tower / Gas Tanks. I guess Paul, you may know the guy by name or Company I'm referring to, in N, 00 & 0-Gauges... those were the only Two Photo's I have so can't even tell you who does them, but he was there the previous year to... Regards Jamie

Hi Paul While your at it... Sort this one out... It looks like a very early Prototype of what The DOC E. BROWN (Back to the Future) had on his head in 1955 when Marty Opened the Door to Marty, while he was trying to get back to 1985 lol Regards Jamie

Hi Paul You mean like... Haha... Well you can kick it first... lol that's what mates do, I just wana see if it as any KICK TO IT... in my head it would be funnier if you kicked it first... lol oh... and I'll stand back and Film it... Doh! lol I bit like licking the end of 9v Battery when you were a kid... I still do it now... i'm only 46... still enjoying my YOUTH...! Regards Jamie

Oh Man... Dam it Jason...! haha I got my fingers crossed and everything lol Regards Jamie

Haha Have you tried... KEYING IN YOUR Hornby Login instead lol Regards Jamie

Hi truffy And we all thought it would be Hornby that will be going to the wall first... if that was to ever happen... Who'd have thought Hornby now own Bachmann hey... lol haha Regards Jamie

Hi PaulRhB We better not mock it to early, they did Only Announce an APT-P in 5-Car & 7-Car Set along with Twin Packs of TU, TF, TS, and TRBS, Plus Extra N-DM and Ex-TU will be available, nowhere have I read that it says what the livery will be in to my knowledge... lol We are all presuming it's the Original APT-P Livery Colours... No one ever saw that coming did they... haha One year on... we will be READING POSTS... Well How do we like our Hi-Vis Orange with Black Line down the side with a blob of Yellow paint on the Nose Cone...!?! I'd be like ... Eh ... (while lmao) ... What the Flip ... Man ... What have I bought ... (if it was... NOT!) lol Well at least I will be able to replace all my Old Lima Door Stoppers for Shiny New Hornby Ones... WIN/WIN all round... hey! yaya Regards Jamie

Hi neal Yeah.... like a bit of free publicity, I reckon... lol to HELP Our (Hornby's) APT-P sell and help the share price go up as it's been fairly level for the last few years... haha Regards Jamie

Hi Leon All the very best in your MOVE Over, look at the bright side, no more ladders to climb up and down and 5 bed rooms choose the biggest room for your layout haha... I take it as its no longer in the Loft the layout maybe smaller... and with that question, will you make it into modular to maybe take out and exhibit at shows. that would be nice to see it...? Take care Moving hey, you can drop more or less anything but just don't drop any of your train related stock hey... haha Regards Jamie
