    Some class 60 action from Barnetby this afternoon. Paul 60063. 60076 60020

    Sad but that's the price you can pay for tresspass. Funny if you change the method of transport it can change things. 'Youths mown down under motorway bridge' or '3 teens killed walking across the main runway at heathrow' Would Jeremy vine propose closing roads and airports for folk to have the place to themselves for all sorts of mischief?

    I always find that a loco going round and round with sound is very monotonous with little in the way of change of tone. However a loco shunting with continual stopping and reving up sounds great. You tend to appreciate it a bit more on a home layout operating it yourself rather than an exhibition hall. Paul

    3 or 4 locos each one must visit the shed then the fueling point. I will let you to the maths! Hours of fun! Paul

    I am no expert on tooling models but once you are this far down the line can you correct issues in the main tooling? Or is it start again from scratch. I guess smaller separate parts are not too much of an issue. Paul

    Having moved from 00 to o gauge in the last 18 months this too was my first visit. To be honest I was overwhelmed by it all. You are aware of the major players in the scale yet there is a huge number of smaller traders. As a result I spent a large amount of my time wandering around in a trance!! Paul

    Finally made it to Scarborough in the caravan. 1 shunter. 4 wagons (only brought 2.) Each wagon must visit the canopy for unloading. Hours of fun. As my two little helpers demonstrate! I took note of the stuff I forgot to take like paint etc so work will commence next week. And the missus didn't bat an eyelid. Phew! Paul

    That's the one I sold on eBay. I too was a little confused as there is another version produced by slaters. Wether it's roof details or braking gear that's different I am not sure. Paul

    Not done much more. I hope to bring it to the caravan next week so will crack on with a bit more. Paul

    That's a shame David. I use to enjoy looking in the flea market when we took the caravan up to Scarborough. The shop next to the crossing at Grosmont once sold model railways but a change in ownership around 3 years ago saw it sell the unusual tourist stuff and little in the way of models. Paul

    Two class 73s made it to Hull on a Neville Hill - Hull test train last night. 73961 & 73965. Paul

    It was a great series. There is masses of copyright free music out there so to trace something 20+ years old will be difficult. When I use to produce dvds the editing program had some music included in the program-which from time to time I still hear on these in store presentation type dvds. Paul

    Tower is showing new SR pillbox brake vans in stock. Perhaps it's these? Paul

    Hattons now advise between may and June now. Paul

    Excellent. Nice to see progress before announcing new stuff. Paul

    It's been a while since the last update. I have changed some of the buildings for one's from an earlier project. Which do look better. The saw tooth roof needs finishing off, which will be this week sometime. I have been concentrating on the right hand side of the layout before moving to the left board. Paul

    That's lovely Gerry. Lots of detail in a small space. Paul

    I asked them at Donny about the TTA tank wagon being released. He was redesigning part of it and seemed hopeful of a release later in the year. Paul

    Pete, my NCE power cab will happily run a sound fitted Heljan diesel along with a Dapol 08 which does me. I think running two or more Heljans would require a booster. Paul

    Memories from the Hull area in the mid 80s is a Freight from York arriving conveying VTG ferrywagons and the Polybulk bogied grain hoppers. This was often hauled by a pair of 20's though I did see a 25 on it once. There was a speedlink shed built along side the freightliner terminal. Here I have seen transfesa ferry vans and once several wagon loads of lorry chassis. Paul

    Hattons sent me an email around a month ago saying late feb I think. Paul

    The skytrex kit was available for about 10 days and is now out of stock. Paul
