      I have two Wickham trollies on order. The whole company is tolerant of my modelling, when I had the layout in work the MD was showing it to all the visitors

      But could generate enough electricity to power a small layout using its little wheel.

      useful for a monorail as it could power the wheel itself!

    The bad news - wallpapering. The good news, the new wall has replaced a the landing bannister, which has provided me with three superb baseboard beams :)

      Stubby47

      The rest of the room (landing & lounge - open plan staircase) is wall papered, so I had to make it match...

      My excuse is I'm a software tester, so need to run suites of tests and monitor their progress (and monitor forums as well)
