    The coaches look very good, and I agree that they would sure as hell not be uniform in reality - fading, upgrades, you name it. I love your bridge there as well - do you know if there is an N gauge version?

    I'm keen for the 20"x11" challenge if it happens...

    They look good

    Any progress as we get closer to your deadline?

    Major congrats! A whole heap of really good layouts and a helluva lot of inspiration!

    Wow looks awesome! Wish I had that much space...

    Wow that is gorgeous!

    Pity I'll be stuck on the other side of the world. Would be good to see Vic Bridge in person

    I love the extendable boards idea!

    N gauge DCC is a Good Idea , especially with the type of layout you will be running. The ability to set 2 slow freight trains running on the main line while using the same controller for managing shunting activities in the yard... Perhaps an option until you can get N DCC sound will be speakers hidden around the layout with pre-recorded sound? (e.g. IR triggered sound for diesel horn coming up to a road crossing, etc) Good luck! Nate

    I concur - just building an N gauge layout and Thomas has been an important purchase both for myself and the next generation!

    Just got my set from Japan. For the kids sake I have to keep them as Annie and Clarabel... Doesn't mean I have to run them without seats and people though... Just done a bodge job with plasticard creating seats for Annie and soon be doing the same for Clarabel...

    Looks good! Keep us up to date on how those Cobalt motors turn out...

    Sorry - missed that bit when first looking. It does look really good though

    I'd be tempted to have the lighter colour wood in the crossing - or give it a white/grey coating... the sun would fade it pretty quick and weathered timbers go light grey... Nate

    I'd be tempted to sand the other end smooth to match... and paint the inside too

    That viaduct looks good!

    re: the buffers on the corners - *modify* them to be hydraulic? They look like they are halfway there. I'll have to confirm when mine arrive... (currently stuck at Japans outgoing terminal) I'm sure we can collaborate on this? Nate

    Where/how does one get/make copper sleepers? Looking into the idea for cross-board joins and fillde yard cassettes for my layout

    I like it! Good to see a proper English layout across the ditch (surrounded by convicts ) Keep the photos coming!

    I like! Looking at these sort of people for my layout when it gets to that stage. Where did you get them from? Nate

    It reminds me of the Thomas story of the race between Percy and Harold - the driver jumps up on the top of the engine to look for the helicopter to see him i nthe distance trying to find somewhere to land....
