and don't forget one of you in your action man T-shirt

Any more pictures of the latest work Des

I would say as always its not the decoders fault but the circuit board. 175euro RRP for a loco and its the biggest let down when it comes to this issue I think its high time MM did this circuit board right and posted free replacements out to all its customers. I hope the forthcoming 071 has not got the same issues. If your going to command top money for a loco the least you can do is make sure there are no underlying issues like this and if there is sort out the problem.

Sounds good

I have to agree with you there Rich. Stephen get yourself one of these before you do anything else http://www.nairnshire-modelling-supplies.co.uk/oo-back-to-back-gauge-p-1479.html all my MIR models I have no problem with their running they run as good as RTR

I bet you still wear that T shirt DES

Loving it =))

Hurry up Des I can't wait to get one of these models

I only got to spend a little time working on the layout over the weekend. As most of you guys know I building my layout like the Americans do, double deck one on top of the other with a helix. One of the problems I encountered was when I started to put the upper level in place the lower level became very dark. So a trip to B&Q and some down lighters later here is the result. I also got some skirting board to finish off the leading edge of the upper level and when I get around to it this will be painted black.

Very very nice I went inter railing all over Europe in 88 in something like that

It might be worth checking out that guy that's doing baseboards on the site (I can't for the life of me remember where I seen it) He might be able to build you a board that folds away if that's what your after

Thanks for the kind words lads I really do appreciate it. Weathering is an art I really enjoy doing. Its very easy to take your airbrush and just dust different colours of paint over a model. But I would not call this weathering. Weathering is not about putting paint on a model but it about taking that paint off and toning/fading/bleaching/rusting etc etc over and over again to get the look of the real thing. I spend hours working on just one model to get the desired effect that I want. I do wish I could just give a model a light dusting of paint in a couple of minutes and call that weathering but its not what I call weathering. Some customers may be happy with that but usually my customers demand a high service and its provides me with a great challenge in replicating their models to the real thing. Once again thanks for your kind complements and PM's I've received regarding my work .

Stephen if you don't get it sorted leave them till I'm down with you in a week or two. BTW the MIR wheels are plastic with a steel tyre did you build them yourself or get them built for you
