    Ordered 9 left-handed points. Meant to order 5 left and 4 right. Oops.

      Did the same thing when I wanted 3 curved points, manged to order 2 and ordinary one!

      I guess it wasn't a pointless exercise...sorry, done the same myself!

      More of a challenge to design a layout that uses all the same hand points. Bit like planning a road trip by making only left hand turns.

    Trying to create a semi-original track plan for a shunting layout. Each idea ends up looking like someone else's!

      Shunting layouts have a tendency to turn into layouts that can be shunted - it's all been done before.

      Use diamond crossings to put tracks next to 'existing' buildings

      Chances are if its totally unique it won't work. no reason not to try though.

    Caught up with the Class 68 powered short set today. Also tried to get the 37's, but they spend the afternoon sat in the yard.

      Did both short sets

      from Norwich to Lowerstoft and a 37 Short set to Gt Yarmouth. I was very surprised with the Class 68 in the way accelerate and sounded.

      Especially when only one is powering the train at a time. I thought there a little bit of 20 and 47 to the exhaust note.

      Wasn't you hanging out the window with a camera as it left Yarmouth was it Terry?

      Oh yes, all the time, great stuff, fantastic taste and really brings out the texture of the cannelloni.

    I have a strong urge to buy a Fleischmann BR 55 (AKA Prussian G8.1)

      Yes, Pete. I'll be starting a thread in the next couple of months - I've got some track to build first!

    Off sick thanks to an Asthma attack on Tuesday. The result is that I am pondering a model of Reedham in N using Tim Horn's laser-cut baseboards..

    Convinced SWMBO that I'd like a Transrail class 60 for xmas as it is a different 'colour' to the petroleum sector livery I already have...

    Superb service from Judith Edge kits. I now have a 2mm Hunslet 05 to build.

      I'm looking for an excuse to buy an L1!

      If you want one go out & buy it you don't need an excuse.

      My other half spent a stupid amount of money on a pair of designer shoes recently by some guy called " Jimmy Choo " as a result when I buy a loco etc I don't feel guilty as her clothes shopping bills always outgun my model bills. Go out. & buy one & enjoy it ;)

    I think this has to be the longest continuous rumble of thunder I've ever heard - 6 minutes and still going!
