    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

    Radio silence on the missing parts so I ordered some cut to order 9mm plywood from another supplier and they arrived on Thursday. Baseboard assembly completed today. Track laying starts tomorrow. Cheers Darius

    Whilst waiting for the missing baseboard parts, I decided to pre-paint the track - Peco Code 75. Cheers Darius

    Alas baseboards construction has stopped as the framing parts for two of the modules were not supplied. I have asked for them to be shipped ASAP. The shop (Model Railway Solutions) is closed today but I will call them tomorrow. Very frustrating. Cheers Darius

    Baseboards arrived from Model Railway Solutions yesterday. Assembly commenced. This is the first and largest of the six modules that will make up the layout. Cheers Darius

    Great work. Looks like you have modified Mk2 coaches rather than use MIR etched sides. Looks fantastic - love the NIR blue and maroon livery. Cheers Darius

    Thanks. It was actually masked/painted a bit too wide so I “opened it”. Cheers Darius

    Cabin glazing completed. Cheers Darius

    Hi Patrick, I stick a large piece of tape on the clear sheet and cut the glazing bars out with a sharp knife, leaving the tape masks over each pane behind. Cheers Darius

    Pretty sure that you could use 2mm thick card, scored and cut into strips then painted grey. Cheers Darius

    I remember a time during the Hunger Strikes when the busses stopped running and my friend and I had to walk home. We took a tortuous route north in the general direction of the Antrim Road to avoid rival schools. Cheers Darius

    Yes, I remember the double decker from my time at BRA from 1978 to 1983. The single decker came along in the early ‘80s I think. Cheers Darius
