Keeps me out of trouble Colin Have you made any progress ?

Platform made. Still needs surfacing but at least a start. Next up is the goods shed.

I finally learnt not to argue with my wife because when she's wrong she's still right

The day you stop learning is the day you die

All electrical work is finished (I hope) so I started on the station buildings. There will have to be platforms of course

Don't Rails deduct UK Vat when sending to Ireland or does that only apply to new items ?

Hello & welcome.

Happy New Year George. Tony.

Don't forget the import duty & postage. Postage is £38 alone + £90 import duty.

Seems like rails are into a bit of price gouging as well HATTONS 'OO' GAUGE LOT OF 5 CIE GREEN 3RD/BRAKE & 1ST/3RD GENESIS COACHES | eBay

Yes. EDIT: Seems back to normal now.

From July 1st next year there will be a €3 EU tax on small packages from Temu & the others. Just another rip off Tony. I bought some HO gauge wall lamps which turned out to be nearer O gauge Later I deliberately bought some 1 / 100 street lamps which are perfect for OO gauge. Tony.

Nothing is cheap nowadays George. Even the smallest layout can get very expensive very quickly. Guess how I know Where did you get those Noch sheets ? Tony.

Hi George. You've done a fabulous job with this layout. Everything looks like it belongs there. The whole thing just looks right. What are those cobble sheets you're using on the roadway ? Tony.

I was supposed to do some electrical work under the layout but gave into temptation & did some scenery work instead. Here are a few photos of work done to the back wall & right hand end of the layout. Electrical work is definitely next on the list.

Maybe a mod could move the thread to the layout section ? I'm not sure if it can be done ? Tony.

Maybe I should have but I just didn't think of it at the time. I have some wiring to do underneath now when I get a chance. Then it's back to more buildings. I'll update when i have something done.

End wall buildings now in place. Back wall is next.

There was a loco plate No 2 Author Guinness with a guide price of between €200 / €300 which went for €2,600 plus 30% fees Another with a guide price of €300 / €500 which went for €1700 plus 30% fees on top. A few others went for a lot more than the guide price as well. Lot 154 Liffey loco nameboard went for €1,700 plus 30% fees.

Some of the descriptions & photos are just awful with a total lack of detail about the items. There's some stuff there I wouldn't take for nothing.

What auction is this ?

Anyone have any idea what I'm likely to find in there or what sort of voltage these things worked at ? All I know is that it's heavy It's supposed to be a Christmas present so I told her to take it away until then.

My daughter was shopping in an antique shop when she came across this & bought it for me. I think its from a signal box but I'm not sure what it's purpose is ? I think its a signal section indicator ? As far as I know it came from the UK ?

The second version were much better. They sorted out the faults I think.

A couple of buildings from the Scalescenes Box file layout reworked & repurposed to fill a corner.
