Brilliant!

Is the guy in the third pic trying to race the train?

Mine is definitely a home layout David @Colonel. It is 13 foot by 9 and made as described above. Wouldn't fancy trying to lift it anywhere

The ol canal is getting crowded

@GNRi1959, my baseboard is made of 18mm MDF and I have never had a problem with it moving/ shrinking/ swelling or warping. It is based in a room in my home so not exposed to conditions that would come with it being in a loft or shed. The frame under is 70 x 30 red deal (probably overkill). But to answer your question , no I have never had any problems with MDF. I wouldn't use WBP (water bonded plywood). It warps like crazy and actually it is never flat from day one in my experience. In my opinion the use of 70x12 battens on edge sounds okay if you use enough cross members. Hope this helps (I'm in the same game by the way) Derek

Thought I was missing something there. Then I copped it "the mighty diesel whines". Slow me......

With GREAT care I would think

Very neat work @Patrick Davey

Read my mind Patrick (which wouldn't take long in fairness). Just thinking the same thing over the weekend. Amazing piece of work

Amazing. No other way to describe this layout

Thanks Noel, that was what came with the kits. (Supplied by Jim Poots). They are a bit darker in reality than the pics seem, but your one does look a lot darker. Hmmm.........

At least you're getting that much. Just use your imagination

Nah, it's probably my end. I've had this problem with videos from some of the other lads before. Think I need to download some update or other. Need to get the IT dept (my son) on to it

Escorting diesel? Like gold right now

Can't see that video for some reason. Think this laptop needs to get the road

Some (slow) progress with my bus kits...... The red looks very pink in the photos, I think, but in reality it is a spot on red. Paint came with the kits. Lovely things these. Well done Mr. Poots

Which is it @Jamie Davis?

Dopes! My wife ordered a dress for a wedding online, and the wise lads placed it in a safe place alright. In the blue wheelie bin Without telling anybody where it was

Or daunting?

Well rule one on this part of the forum is that you must provide photos of articles for sale along with prices. That didn't happen obviously. So off to a bad start. @murphaph, we probably won't hear any feedback if it's negative. If someone scores big we will definitely hear about it. To be honest, the list I got didn't seem to contain any mind blowing bargains. Think I would rather deal with "a man we all know".

I have been in touch with him a couple of times, latest being over the weekend. I have decided not to purchase.

Or maybe I should make myself known to this Mark dude (whoever he may be). Seems like lads in the know might get a teeny bit more considerate service. Blow ins like me, not so much. Just saying..........

You sure do have a lot of planes!

Well that was what I would have liked/expected. Oh well, maybe next time
