  15. My first and only main line steam trip in Ireland was from York Road to Whitehead and back in 1978, hauled by one of those two locos - not sure which but I recall it was green. Cheers Darius
  16. Power bus installed below the baseboards with feeds to each length of flexitrack soldered to the undersides of the rails. Found one short due to one of the turnout frog rails not having an insulated joiner - fixed. Running fine on DCC. Cheers Darius
  17. Planning to use the same technique to build the station buildings and canopy for “Whiterock”. Cheers Darius
  18. Hi Leslie, I used 2mm and 1mm thick card stock for the main structure and roof along with thinner card (photo print paper). For the cabin glazing I used clear acetate sheet (Ratio kit packaging). I used Ratio windows to make the large glazed units to the frame room. Cheers Darius

  24. More wire in tube turnout controls added. Cheers Darius
  25. Hi Patrick, It’s called an “omega loop” and prevents the pull or push of the wire from breaking the point by absorbing excess movement. Cheers Darius
