Are you going to have lighting on the layout, street lights, yard lights building interior lights etc, if you are, you don't want the room lighting too bright, something warm white, maybe with a dimmer

Oh, now that's an interesting project, must give it a shot.

Right, I have got to the washing stage, will post on how I get on with the rest of the process when I get back from the emergency room.

Fleeced ? Ah, I must have skipped an important part of the process, right, does anybody know how to unglue a cat from a baseboard ?

This idea doesn't work at all,

Oh, I know that crossing well, I'm really looking forward to seeing this one.

What you really need there is a couple of brake vans

139 euros plus insane postage, that's more than a quick buck.

Lads, is everybody planning on displaying in communication with them now ?

Go on, splash out Mine originally ran on a lima 55 bogies on the supplied brass chassis, but not very well, replaced it with the cut down hornby 55 chassis runs fine now.

Resin body, photo etched brass parts, mine runs on a cut down hornby class 55, not a bad little kit.

Underground yard wil station on top, exactly what I did, tricky, but pays off when it runs right.

There is always one

Finally got em running right. VID20260630204138.mp4

All three of mine were derailing r2 and 3 on an incline ( I have two helix on my layout ) the bogie has a u shaped bracket which makes contact with the NEM socket, I cut the bracket off, this allowed more throw on the bogie, however the sprung buffers were also fowling, I retracted them and put a spot of super glue on the back of them to keep them retracted, this seems to have fixed the issue, I didn't like making these modifications to these works of art, but they run on my layout now, which is better than them not running. In defense of the manufacturer, my layout does present challenges for rolling stock.
