Great pictures Ian - I look forward to seeing the SGR back up and running - October's not too far away

It's going to take a while Brian - there is very little space under the mimic panel, and as you get a couple of push-buttons wired-up, the top is then not as manoeuvrable as it was when you started - it seemed a good idea at the time

I have done some wiring today, and actually have a push-button illuminated and a point working - not the correct point on my mimic panel, but a point working.

I am installing the DCC Concepts Alpha System at the moment. I have had twenty five Cobalt digital point motors working on my layout for sometime - operated via toggle switches and my Hornby Elite. I purchased the Alpha system over a period of time - it's not cheap by the time you have got ...

I have hinged the top of the work/control desk, and lengthened some of the wires to enable the top to be lifted (hopefully not to often). I ...

If that's your first attempt at weathering Richard, I look forward to seeing a completed loco when you get the hang of it A great job.

Great pictures - it's these little diorama's that make a layout - the trainspotters taking photographs is a super picture - are they Modelu figures?. It also reminds me that I have about a hundred figures to paint.
