  1. Where is it on? Air show on as well. Will be at that so could pop in to this before. Traffic will be mental apparently.
  2. Some pics of the new train. LNER Class J39: Next steps is to take it all apart, paint the baseboard, drill holes for the wires and lay down grass and roads to put the finishing touches tot he layout.
  3. Bought a steam engine and carriage on Monday in Mark's Models and ran it for the first time today. Thanks for all the help. Will post some pics soon.
  4. Thanks, will look into that too so.
  5. Thanks. My knowledge of all things electrical and mechanical is basic at best as is my knowledge of the technical names of modelling items (e.g. insulfrog points - had to look it up). But have to start somewhere and always interesting to learn more. It looks like I have insulfrog points so should be relatively easy.
  6. Looking for some advice. I'm looking to get another train of some sort. I want to be able to keep one on the outside and one in the siding but be able to swap them out. Do I need another controller in order to do so and where is the best place to put the two of them?
  7. Absolutely incredible. The benchmark is set for all future modellers.
  8. That's some collection. Love all the different scenes, the golf course being my favourite.
  9. Hi MikeO, Thanks for the comments. Just bought a started set with the central railways DMU 170. Bought most of everything else and made the station with a kit and just pieced it all together. No real plan from the start just started and made it up as I went along.
  10. No house move, just a different place to rent. Not a lot of room so the n guage suits perfectly. Thinking about an Inglebrook in O-Gauge for the next project.
  11. Bus Depot and Busses added. It was bigger than I thought so had to do some re-arranging. Looking fairly full now. Finish it off with some roads, grass, bushes and maybe another train. I say finish, but is it ever really done? Been about two years and I love looking back through the photos just to see it developing.
  12. Just added people to the layout but really adds to it I think.
  13. More recent updates: Added a garage, tram and some foilage. Will put in a couple of car parks and more bushes or trees along the edge soon and adding people to the layout. Feel it's looking a bit more active now. Need to think of what to add around the other station to finish off the bigger empty bits, suggestions welcome. Also, just housekeeping can someone move this to the layout's board and change the title to Ep's Layout?
  14. Sounds great, but whey are they running it empty a couple of times? Surely, they could charge some sort of price and get a few people on board those legs of the journey.
  15. Had left the layout for a while, but was able to get back to it recently. Tried some of the Metcalf kits but found out I didn't have the patience for them so bought buildings instead. The main street is nearly done and not much left to have the layout looking fairly full and finished, one of the reasons I got the n gauge so this could be done quicker. Check out the latest.
  16. Looks absolutely brilliant. Can't wait to see more.
  17. In Ryanair's defence...... nope, I got nothing.
  18. Bought a station off gaugemasters and that I had to build. Was the first thing I have built by gluing all the bits together. Was neve the best at anything like that so needed a bit of time and patience but it's done now. Here's the before picture: And the after: I've also got a couple of animals and buildings to add to the layout. Couple of pics of what I've got right now.
  19. Sounds really interesting. Would probably be a long way off in being able to contribute to it but will stay reading this thread and hopefully start doing something around Greystones when I have developed skills etc
  20. Cheers for the help as always guys.
