Not even stripy paint?!

Then again I don't suppose Chiltern's livery calls for it

I remember being scared to death of doing work experience (oddly, very near to the Aylesbury Depot down the back of Morrisons at a little computer shop). Ended up getting a job out of it! A truly enlightening experience, and I remember going back to school thinking 'I'd rather be working!'.

I never got sent to pick up oddball items, but some other young chap we later had did. I recall him going to the local hardware shop to collect 'a hard screw, and a long weight'. He took a note (on our headed paper no less) with what he wanted on - presented it to one of the chaps in the shop, who actually played along, so said chap was told to stand patiently in the corner of the shop for a while, and was then sent back being told 'the order will be sent later on'. He came back and told us this in all seriousness...

Nice to read these little updates. Nice to know what goes on down there! Glad you enjoyed it so much

This is a great blog. Fascinating stuff

Looks good David. I like it.

 

It kind of looks like a vertically flipped Addiscombe. B)

Oh? What the real station, or is there a layout called that?

Great plan

 

Is XTrkCad4 free?

Thanks

Yes, it is free. http://www.xtrkcad.org/Wikka/HomePage

Bit of a swine to use at times mind. Worth persevering with though (it's free, after all!!!).

The Family Guy fan in me wants to do the 'it's a jackal!' thing. But I shan't.

Also, I have no clue what you're making
