Hi Doug, Railway Modeller is a good mag. $13 Is a bit steep, thats about double the news stand price over here! Peco-rama is a fun place to visit, I went many years ago as a kid. My Dad took me for a day out. My M & D still live in South Devon which is not far from Beer, Seaton where Peco is...

Brutus, Yes we are getting there. Still a little way to go yet. Got second coat of paint on tonight. Picked up 18 MR16 12v spotlamps for the gamesroom today plus two more for the shower/toilet. Don't ask how much they cost... They have to be fire resistant as they penetrate the ceiling. This is...

Hi all, Like the shots of the roundhouse. Real shame that someone forgot to mothball the loco correctly. FIL and I got the lights up in the garage tonight. Also fitted the two loft hatches (gamesroom and garage). Later Folks Nick
