    eBay parcel arrives, find the contents wrapped in old Hornby catalogues, quite nostalgic.

    I've turned into a collector, haven't done any proper modelling in ages! think a change of theme may be on the cards.

      Looks like a P87 layout. Great for a modern type ballast shoulder, not so sure how it would work with a lesser shoulder, or no shoulder at all. Very clever, though.

      Given how some people have had problems with theirs I suggest cleaning the slope before attempting to run the Castle up it

  11. shanks522

    Finding it quite hard to resist a Sound fitted Farish Castle.

    The dog is going to have the right hump when he finds out i'm using his tins of food to weigh down cork whilst its glueing.

      Could bring a whole new meaning to hump shunting

    2. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      He'll have an even bigger hump if you start sampling the dog food whilst the glue dries....
