I collected the Warehouse as planned today, so another Video could well be on the cards very soon, but very busy tomorrow so maybe not until Friday ish.

Cheers Buddy, I hope you've managed to start something, but if you have, I cant seem to find it yet, any details yet please?

Video 6 was a good one Andy - nice to see realistic movement on the layout. At far too many exhibitions we see toy train running with 200mph shunting and immediate reversing with no time allowed for the driver to engage forward or reverse and I could go on!.

 

On a different tack and if you don't mind me saying, I think that fence behinds the steelworks siding is too close to the track. If the driver got out that side at best he would have a high voice and at worst could impale himself on the uprights! 

 

Keep up the good work.

Sorry to hear that Buddy, DON'T GIVE UP, there is so much talent there.  I'm thinking of another MICRO about 4ft to run my Blue Diesels on, like Yard or Depot, poss just 2 points etc. Have a think. even if its N Gauge, I had my 6ft x 2ft Glenfinick =

You hid the bodges very well

King Bodgit, now I really must get on and do that Video. We are playing Wed and Thursday night and 2 new songs to include Gimmie Shelter / Stones and Freebird / Lynard Skinard. 

 

I have done some more bits like fitting the KADEE magnets and testing the coupling tails to ensure the heights are right and not fouling.

 

There will be a Video soooooooooon. I promise.

Afternoon Andy,

First time on rmWeb in a few months, life keeps getting in the way. Glad to see you’ve got started with the layout, looking good mate.

You might still see it around as the owner lives near Swadlincote, which I think from memory is not far from your neck of the woods. I know I've see you at Nick Palett's  Armitage shows when I lived up that way.

Yes I was aware you no longer own it, and yes I took a couple of layouts to Armitage, & helped out a few other times there.

Afternoon Andy, I hope all is well with you.

 

I just thought that I post a picture of your favourite ex employee.. 😁 He is still loitering with no real intent of doing any work....

He's a good man, I hope your feeding and watering him. A drop of REAL ALE also goes down a treat so I'm told. Cheers for the pic and love the LL 31'S

Well I'm back, after another hibernation, and another short Video Up Date for your pleasure, (or not, as the case may be).

 

I hope you enjoy it.
