    seriously considering ripping my layout up and starting again. lost my modelling mojo a bit just lately!

      Take some photos of it as if you were trying to sell it then look at them away from the layoutsee if you want to keep it alter it or rip it up.

      Try a micro project for a bit of fun. Something very different from your normal layout.

    Today marks 10 years of me signalling trains! What a good laugh the last ten years have been, although the next ten are shadowed with uncertainty. My grandad would have been proud. Only hope I get the 45 years in that he did.

    only 5 foot, and the layout will be completely eletrified. laying peco third rail is time consuming but well worth it.

      see, it does work...... Well done to SWMBO Griffin, Bet you cried a tear of joy, I concur with the above but would add, that seperate your modeling budget pronto, nappies, aston martin buggies will not do it any good whatsoever.

      I had the same thing with the 8F and Black 5s - quite a nice surprise to see an 8 pin plug in there even though the models are +10 years old and not advertised as DCC ready.

      maybe not so much now, it shorts the layout on every set of bleeding points >8-(

  15. Dan Griffin

    Am i right in assuming that if the LNER had de-streamlined an A4 would it have looked like an A3, like scotsman??

      Basically, except it would've had a V front cab and other details would be different.

      Sadly won't happen. Both of these locos were a gift to their respective countries and as such we cannot dictate what will happen to them. I am certain both will return to their homes in 2014 and take pride of place looking in far better condition then when they left them.

      I think it's likely? NRM may buy them? Or private buyer but it would be nice to have 2 more A4s in the counry, saying that even though I model modern image...
