Hi Shamus,
I only became aware of your site 2 weeks ago, it's fabulous, just can't see how you could bring yourself to disassemble it!!!
You must be the fastest result getter I've ever come across for building layouts. In quality of modelling you rank way up there in the John Allen league.
One question though Shamus:-
do you use Shinohara HOn3 track with self built stub switches? If so, is there a UK supplier of that track? Several times on my visits to the USA I bought Shinohara HOn3 switches but only a limited qty of track.
I'm steadily assembling the MDC 2-truck HOn3 shay (testing at every stage of assembly) because i want it to work as smoothly as their HO 3-trucker).
I'm truly grateful for you sharing your photos and inspiring us and needless to say, I and many others are looking forward to seeing your new layout take shape.
I'm not a rivet counter
