Just found your thread Neil and looking forward to this progressing, as an ex resident of York Is Jolly cabs building based on the rank near Micklegate Bar? Looks very evocative if nor.. Tom

Some lovely baseboards and nice curving track there.. looking forward to seeing this develop..

TT/3mm has always been a Scale I have wanted to dabble in but never got round to it I did do some plans for a TTm Swiss metre gauge layout but never got further than the back of an envelope A good start there and looking forward to seeing it progress..

After a bout of various illnesses over the last year or so I find myself back on RMweb and noted in the 15 year birthday thread that I have been around for some time, but never achieved anything of substance unlike many on here.. not that I am measuring myself against this but I am finding my way back to the hobby I have always loved and now am finding a modicum of mojo. I have downsized much of my collection of stuff and am concentrating on building a very simple OO mini layout. I am also trying not to get sucked into current events and actually my hobby is exactly what I need to focus on this.. thankfully I’m medication free and am trying to walk outside everyday now the weather seems to have stopped the continuous cycle of wind and flooding.. anyway I felt I wanted to say hi again as feel like I went out for a pint of milk and never came back.. hope the black dogs are well and truely leashed up in there kennels and am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things here..

I’m late to the party as usual.. first happy birthday to RMweb and Congrats to Andy for starting all this off, I have many happy memories from my early days.. I was one of the missing and I really can’t remember when I did join but I do have a mail from earlier in 2007but think it might have been 2006 for me. As for memories, inter-regional wars of 2007? between SAG and SWAG. The posting count wars. The 2nd? RMweb Open day I went to. The amazing conversations and friendships built through this platform. The amazing modelling skills of some true artists, a number now missed. The ups and downs of life weathered by friendly voices on the other side of the screen.. and just the fun and games.. Well done Mikkel and David both worthy winners and people who’s modelling I have long admired. Here’s to the next, well however long we have got..

Gnnnaaaaarrr it’s almost as if your reading my mind I was looking at that and the Kato chassis to see if it fitted.

A worthy winner, we’ll done. Well done to all entrants some interesting ideas there.

I don’t know why but the arosa coaches don’t interest me. But the restaurant car is duly added to “the” list

FREIGHT please!!! oh and thx for the vid v.interesting.

So when does the parcel arrive?!

Need to get an order in for some couplings! I’m going to see if I can find the alps printer and have a go at colour matching the loco numbers. Oh then there’s the everything must go sale to organise

Thx for your time Paul. Was an enjoyable and informative chat and thx for ends I’m now considering show I’m going to put them to good use. The locos look pretty decent. I really need to get flogging stuff Also glad to have seen LC looks much better in the flesh, and the Sound 37 made me almost want to do some 00.

Exxxxxcelllent!

Ooohhh Duh! How DIM of me, I was thinking 63% off! Like I say maths was never my strong point.

Maybe it’s the close up but your boards don’t look quite symmetrical Paul. Wonder if cnc cutting makes any difference?

I’m not sure, but when I was a kid those figured didn’t add up

Maybe a bolt on proscenium would be a compromise Paul for different types of display? But maybe John’s ends could be adapted to give more clearance?

Jon, that’s really impressive. Maybe for the radii somewhere between 482 and 150mm but it would be interesting to see what the 150 would look like for minimum spaced layouts but if it was to be used as a modular layout then probably the wider the better.

Looking forward to finally getting to see LC at Warley. I have questions! :-D

Now if I only had a grand mother to sell!

Paul, excuse the dumb question but what is the slot for between the rails?

I have been looking at MDSs site but funds are scarce at the moment so I am having to wait a bit before I can get some wagons, but the loco looks good! So added to the wish list.

Hello engine room, not sure if your aware but view full site on my mobile browser has stopped working. I’m on an iPhone using safari with iOS 12.1 if that is any help. Thx Tom Disregard that as it’s just started working for me!!
