      I've never tried the Blogg format but I dare say I could give it a go ?

      give the blogs a try, they can be easier to follow than the forum posts, which can get too cluttered for my liking with discussion, so hard to follow the actual progress as such. Not to say the discussion is bad though, far from it.

  22. Hi Ian The pictures certainly give it a scottish theme and the weathering about right nothing over the top just subtle this is most certainly on the watch list I'm liking this a lot as I'm another scottish layout co-owner with Lochnagar. Keep up the great work and of course keep the pictures coming we all like pictures !! And as for a sound decoder may I recomend Legomanbiffo for the class 26 and 37's they are awesome if you do a search on youtube for legomanbiffo you'll be suprised I think ? Colin
