The stuff that gets thrown out always comes in handy.. attached a small shelf for my controller to now sit underneath the baseboard, removing the wall area that at first concealed it.

The point switches will remain where they are in the disguised hut.

Afew months since painting up my teaks with LMMs method of using a furniture pen, passengers are now being added to the painted compartments.

Not perfect sitters so long as they can be seen from the windows :)

Gonna hopefully be bringing my Dad along to the TUGS event in October providing how the rest of the year goes... awhile to go yet but after telling him about my last experience going home by train, I'm very happy he'll be supporting me for the day.

Old #modeltrain boxes wearing away?

Don't bin them, restore them! Watch to see how I fix up my old display boxes for transport/storage.

A tip for #secondhand #market stalls #nationwide

If you're selling #modeltrains... DO NOT leave them out in hot weather... plastic on older models can melt and warp.

Store them in cool, dry places and keep them shaded.

If #Hornby's coach lighting from the late 70s and early 80s was this good... might have to consider afew customizations...

A week ago a follower sent in their late stepdads Flying Scotsman model, i had hoped it was a simple case of cleaning and remagnitising the motor, turned out this needed alot more work than anticipated, so i couldn't be more grateful to my specialist friend who helped revive it.

Last year on a trip to Butterly, I was given a #Hornby LSBC E2 bodyshell, since then it started losing its original decals, although having seen reference photos by Mike Morant, it has since been transformed into (Number to be placed) BR No.32104, with a matt/powered black coat.
