Actually one little 'tip' I'm happy to share.... In the earlier days, I found myself having too much fun opening stock boxes and playing trains So, about two months back, I disconnected all the sections and haven't re-done the wiring yet The result is that, as it's about 15 minutes work to hook up all the sections and blocks again, the whole thing has been unpowered for 8 weeks, and I actually make progress That said, I haven't yet laid any new sections, as that would require the wiring live again to verify shorts I'd highly recommend that if you have work / scenics to crack on with - hide the transformer :)

As Glenderg aptly described a few posts back, I'm taking a 'gardening' approach. Half an hour here, an hour there It's amazing how the time adds up, and even an hour can make a big difference to the layout Plus I have modelbaseboard Dave putting me under pressure now, building a vast bridge over the stairwell, only to add a vast viaduct and return loop and fiddle yard! All going well, I'll be able to run trains in circles by Christmas

Are they still available Broithe?

Interesting is the word for it Learned my lesson - am ballasting now using a 'chunk' of 2x2 to stand in for the platforms, and will then carefully place the platforms back in once the ballast is all set and happy

Lovely shot - that Bing Maps?

Glue all wet, will clean up once dry, then push on to finish the ballasting for the other 4 terminus roads, now that the uncouplers are in place for the run round

The DMU platform and stabling sidings now ballasted in...

Another Stack of magnets in the post - this will be enough to install uncouplers on the all the terminus roads, the terminus run-round and all sidings laid, with a few left over. Not bad for £16/€20 including postage!

Space age technology Love it

Now that is tasty looking!! The panorama is stunning! The building looks completely natural now, and the backdrop is beautifully blended with the scene!

Looks the business!± More photos and videos please!! The MIR flats look great behind her!

Just found this on the tube Anyone care to claim it?

FWIW, the RRP on the 4MT is £102.99 The Hornby Crane is £30

Really? Which Orange one?! :)

Same chappy has a bunch of stuff for sale, all equally overpriced.

<Shudder> I don't like the sound of that - AT ALL-!! Will steer a steady course now Cap'n!

Cough, sorry about that All good now

Cracking photos and great to get a peek at it - looks like there was a good atmosphere and lots to see
