    Savouring the feeling of finally running trains on Stockrington, after five years construction

      Congratulations you've been through a fair bit since you started the build well done!

      Happy birthday.

       

      Incidentally, I found it better to not celebrate birthdays.

       

      Today, I'm celebrating my (approximately) 250th un-birthday this year!

    The plan: spend an evening on my back under baseboards, soldering droppers to the DCC bus overhead; The challenge: keeping the solder from defying gravity and landing on me

      Indeed; I don't work directly overhead, but the core of flux has a tendency to "spit" outwards. Extreme care - and protection is needed.

      Turn the board on its side, far more comfortable!

      Don't worry I see you are in the Perth down under rather than the Perth I am in, surely the solder will fall the other way up!

    Seriously impressed with how smooth Heljan D/E models run...

      I've reworked a Hymek and own two 26s... one for one of my sons, one for me.. and yes they are nice, tidy, compact and weighty. It'll be a nice model to detail and weather when I get around to it.

      Just completed the Lion, Falcon Kestrel trifecta, and they are all winners. Falcon's haulage power is also a credit to Heljan.

      Even smoother for me if you take out the cogs to the inner wheels - they glide for miles after being at top speed!

    Winning a new Heljan Lion on eBay...

      ...only to find eHattons have them back in stock.

      The question is whether your purchase worked out cheaper....

      Not really! I'd have gotten VAT off on the eHatton's one, that would have covered most of the postage. At least the auction item was mint unused in its box.

    Pleased that Stage 1 of Stockrington benchwork is almost completed. Hopefully, I can contemplate laying some track in the coming weeks...

    The world seems so small after spending most of the weekend working on 1:76 table settings through a magnifier on an anglepoise...

  11. jukebox

    "Relaxing" by painting the table settings for a lighted Pullman...

      is that the new pullmans or the dcc concepts lighting set?

    2. jukebox

      jukebox

      Yes - that's the new DCC Concepts set.

      I'm photographing as I go - shall post my efforts here on the Forum once I've made more progress.
