    The problem with visiting preserved lines is one comes home with so many ideas for new layouts!

      One advantage of preserved railways as a model - easy to apply Rule#1 - run what you like!

      I was looking at Andrews Seat station on the Tanfield from the bridge and thought, "no would build a layout with such a simple trackplan, its not realistic..."

    There's something quite exciting about bare MDF as the baseboards come together

      I totally agree, the potential of bare wood does set the mind racing...

    There’s something rather fun about using DCC to run double headed trains just because you can!

      I've ran double headed trains and banked trains with Dc for years with no problems. Same result just different method

      Yep dead easy with DC control.... Just another DCC myth.

    To scrap or not to scrap. That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows or poor running and limited operation. Or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing them rip them up and start again???

    Us modellers have a lot to thank mobile phones for. Modellers of the current or future scene will never need to build a etched phone box!!

    Why is there always one point motor that refuses to behave?

      Because life would be utterly pointless otherwise.

      The same logic applies to many things, its called the Law of Murphy.

      I was just wondering if I might have won the Nobel Prize if I had discovered this law. After all, it does seem like it is a natural constant, does it not?
