All this agonising that we do about the 'right colour' made me wonder if anybody has ever done a layout in black and white?
Apparently, there have been a few goes, here's a nice diorama.
Tender-driven - about three quarters of the way down this manual - https://static.maerklin.de/damcontent/78/32/783280fd5e78425fc32fdc46a7cc7d9f1434541876.pdf
Today's inspection tour revealed little new to report.
These nice road/rail vehicles were parked up.
The branch sleepers are looking quite Olde Worlde.
219 pushed through whilst I was there.
The bees are still on duty.
Some of the details are quite ecclesiastical - or ecumenical.
Downforce on the driving wheels will help, either by adding weight on them or by using https://www.dccconcepts.com/product/powerbase-mini-magnet-pack-x24-smaller-magnets/ - to add force without adding (much) weight.
This post originally had an embedded tweet, with a picture showing a coach trapped in the Lansdowne Road crossing, which seems to have been deleted, possibly on legal advice?
Well, if the Guards stop you and ask "Have you any tax on this car?", you can say "No, but I've had a couple of screws on the back seat".
Come on, tax = tacks.
It works better if you get somebody to read it to you.....
