WOW!! My goodness! your firt pic gave me the impression it was a single board layout Graham. That's a Huge layout by my reckoning! A splendid job you've made of the sea front, from the wall and the effect of the water and cliffs in the background. Your LPP's must know about how I drive...

What a terrific set of modules!!! You must have a great membership in that group to get to that stage. I gave up RR clubs because all they did was talk, drink beer and argue about one aspect or another. You are one lucky guy to find a group like yours. The pics are crisp and gives the...

A really great shot Eddie. The light spill on the passengers is soooo natural and even a suggestion of what's inside the car!! Brings back memories of my young romantic days :) Errol

Excellent examples in both bridges. Now you can procede Trainnoob :D . Errol

That's a finely built area Graham. I can imagine it with rolling stock on it....(but need pics :) ). I see you are like me as far as ballasting goes, I chicken out of ballasting switches! :eek: :D :D . Do keep posting pics though, I like the way your's is turning out. Errol

Thank you for your wonderful comments my friends, I just wish I had more patience so as to produce a better model but in N scale, seen from 2 to 3 feet, it looks good enough for me :) . Robin, I'm way too impatient to reach the quality of your card models. This took 15 hrs to make including...

Great scenes CSX, I dont envy you having to scenic the whole area to the detail you have in pics 1 and 3 .... Oh my! how many trees do you need? ..:eek: :eek: :D :D . You have put character into those pics... well done! Errol

The finished article I forgot the picture! Errol:confused:

Heres another cardboard structure (N scale). Built from a trusty Cornflakes packet and clad with handscribed 1/32" veneer. Nothing fancy about it but interesting as a simple project. I will attempt to insert here the link to the actual size drawings of the components. The drawing has a...

Old as it may be Chris, it has charm and character. I love those heavyweights. Can one feel nostalgia for something one hasn't experienced? I think I can. Errol

That looks great Robin, I can now see the charm of long trains. I love the "High Country" feel of that photo. Errol

I just peeked again Chris, geeeeee, it just gets better and better. I had previously thought American "Traction" was street cars a la LA circa 1920's, ie passengers boarding at street level. See how ignorant I've been?? :confused: . Since seeing your posts and a few pics of 1:1 traction...

Spitfire's Steak House seems to be a success. Empty streets on a Friday night? ... yeppers, everyone is dining in style at Spitfire's!! It seems to be a toss-up between whether it's Robin's certified Angus steaks or the wine that's the big attraction :) . Gary, I know what you mean by not...

Chris, in choosing "traction" you put yourself in a position where your choices of motive power is very limited. Having to innovate is not easy but you seem to have a superb talent for it and sure come up with superb models. This latest project of yours has me in awe of the tollerances you...

Arlaghan, one would be very hard-pressed indeed to match let alone better those laser-cut models. That one you chose is a gem among gems and in N scale too! It's truly exquisite with such fine details and you've put it together beautifully. It deserves a very prominent position. Maybe if...

A hearty welcome to you Tweed. As Andrew said, a brief descripion as to the size and shape of your layout and how far you have got with it together with what type of terrain you are aiming for would help us. If it all runs OK now then you are already ahead of the game :) :) . If you can...

Happy birthday guys and a belated Golden anniversary for you Clerk. May happiness be with you all throughout the coming years. Errol

Belg, I just finished building an "N" timberbuilt office/storage/loading platform. Once I get it set into the layout and interior lit I'll post a pic ... (Robin, don't you be laughin at it when it gets posted! :D :D :D) Errol

Charlie, my heart goes out to you my friend. I'm just glad you have that good old American "get up and go" attitude and won't just sit around and mope about it. But hey, you have some ways to go yet and whereas you might diminish your modelling (or go for G-gauge :) ) you have friends and...

Spitfire goes into business! Judy, thanks for reminding me to go to the zoning people for a business permit. After filling out 3 dozen forms for permission to open a Bar & Grill, a officious nosed LPB (Bless his little heart), said there was already a bar in town but there was no reason there...
