    Morning all!
    Well its been a little while, but I used the time to redecorate my modelling room, freshly painted, new blind, new desk now in there too and a lot more room for modelling activities, happy days :) Also i know its a huge rule one but i have sounded fitted my duchess, and I'm over the moon with it, i just need to start laying track now so i can hear the thing properly.
    Anyways ive found the time to make another video

    [youtube]

    So its now on to actually laying some track, i have had the 3MT running under DC power but it'll be time to get the sidings down and get something moving for the first time :)
    All the best
    Matt :)

    Nice work , airbrushes scare me to death - though - i have used spraycans on rolling stock.
    The Loco to tender spacing is excessive on the farish standard 4's and 5's and as a result i have passed them over. until someone comes up with a fix for this

    Hello all just thought I'd share my video on the superb railway memorabilia replicas from Timber Tracks, I do have a pair of smokebox numbers to do too, but an enjoyable little project and the end result does look pretty smart :)



    Normal service should resume on the layout soon :)

    All the best
