I'm very impressed. I just wish I could reach through my computer screen and grab the model! I see what you man by basing the measurements on other scaled models and working it out that way. The clothes pegs, yes us Kiwi's call them pegs, maybe its a British thing? Its a greta idea...

Hmm sorry about the typos, hopefull you could all understand what I meant. Here is the edited version: Ok so this is off the subject but i had to add my 10 cents worth. The interesting fact about chips is that coming from a British colonised country, New Zealand, we have both chips...

Ok so this is off the subject but i had to add my 10 cents worth. The interesting factor about chips is that coming from a British colonised country, New Zealand, we have both chips and fries. Fries are fired potatoes that are cut so they are long and skinny. Whiel Chips are the same...

Hi Robin I'm enjoying watching the consrtuction of your layout. Its very inspirational. I was surprised to read that you model your buildings on photos. I'm sure htis is common practise for many model railroad builders, but what I can't understand is how do you get the correct deminsions...

I only just saw the post about Jack's stroke. He is definately in my prayers. I hear he is recovering quite well which is fantastic. I'm only new the Gauge but have been following his modeling since before I discoverd the Gauge. I had seen the A & T RR on another forum and was intriged and...

Welcome back Jack okat so it was a wee while ago you wrote this post but none the less. I'm only reading it now. Considering yuo were away from the 13DEC would explain why you never responded to a comment a made about the 16DEC. Anyway I love your model!!! I'm only a beginner in the hobby...
