    Forget the finescale. I'm having much more fun with Percy and his mail bag drop

      Excellent. If we can't have fun we might as well give up now.

    Hands free shunting/uncoupling is very satisfying and enjoyable. When it works!

    Having built the baseboard for my son's 'Thomas' layout I'm left with a 4x1ft piece of plywood. I keep looking at it.....

      If what I've read is correct, that'd fit nicely in a pair of Apa boxes....

    I have inadvertently learnt that a surprisingly large amount of n gauge stock will cope with 7inch radius curves. Time to relay the fiddle yard!!

    I have successfully wired up a three way point. A first for everything!

    I seem to have aquired enough expanded polystyrene to model the entire Settle to Carlisle line, including scale models of the Three Peaks!

    I so want an O gauge shunting plank now!

      Watching my 5yr son shunt a micro layout at a show has just got me hooked!

    I swear that as long as I model in N gauge I will never make another building with an outside staircase

    Interesting chat with the 2mm finescale people at York. Am I going to jump in at the deep end?

      They were very persusive on the 2mm stand. Made building the trackwork seem quite straightforward!

      Who knows, need to have a serious think!

    Is it child abuse to get your 4yr son to help with ballasting??

      He's not enjoying inhaling too much is he?

      In my defence he did ask to help! It's win-win - I get to work on the layout and get brownie points for giving MrsJ a rest!!

      Had the trains out and running for the first time in months. Definitely good for the soul

    It was Friday night, SWMBO is out, the toddler's fast asleep. So what did I do? Re-organise my modelling bits and pieces drawer! Rock and Roll, living the high life!

    Just had my first go at airbrushing. Amazed at the results, what a revelation!

  25. TomJ

    Just repainted my first loco. Admittedly unlined black isn't the hardest but I'm still quite pleased with myself
