I've only just got them a ramp to get onto the platform, they cant expect everything. we will just chainsaw out a gap if it becomes urgent

Thanks Ian, slowly we get some progress

Ramps for access seems to be the theme for the weekend

Since the layout is still currently DC, good excuse to test run a Loco that is still DC as well

Well why did I think that a coronation class would accept a coronation class tts decoder without a fight, 'may' need to modify the weight is a slight understatement.
Anyway it got in and tested successfully and then packed away in a box. That is the end of the modelling for a few months as I go away working and then return just in time for the house move in June. Still I'm pleased with how the layout turned out and had managed to try some scenic work for the first time.
Enjoy your modelling and thanks for the kind words, see you in the summer.

So a little project to try my hand at something more complex, Creating a NIR Class 80, so from drawings found online created into a wooden template and then after checking the look and dimensions copied into CAD. the plan will be to laser cut it after a house move so this is the research and testing phase.










I may finish the wooden sides, it can always sit in a siding awaiting repairs, next on the job list is traction.
