Interesting, I think Gregg they want to run some trains. LOL. Glad my shop teacher wasn’t watching this video, he would have had flunked the entire class. Happy New Year’s Gregg, cheers from cold Nebraska, Terry.

Good on you for figuring-out that they were asking for a nest box to begin with! And it worked. A good news story.

Hi Paul, nice to hear from you. Not the type of birds I was looking to attract , but what'ya do? Lots of visiting by the parents this week , so hopefully a chick or two in the nest? Happy New Year to you and Audrey. Gregg 🙂

I think they are attacking their reflection. Male birds do this in mating season when they get highly territorial. Here in New Zealand I always get a Sacred Kingfisher that sits on my clothesline . At this time of year he bashes the adjacent window on the house , very hard. He's been doing this for many years.

I have also seen them do that as well Paul! But after opening the window, they sat on the sill and tapped the frame! They make a huge thud when hitting the glass ...they must have strong beaks. Thanks for watching. Gregg.

Hello all, in the UK and looking around for an equivalent to INOX. I've come across AC-90, no silicone and looks to do the same as INOX. Anyone have any experience with the product?

Hi Scotty, apparently you can get INOXX from Pendal Slot Racing in Lancashire? A few guys over there have suggested that ? If no luck CRC 2-26 is ok as well. Thanks for watching. Gregg.

I was first using 99% isopropyl alcohol every couples of days on the tracks and engine wheels, It seemed to be cleaning well, the non abrasive cloth was quite black after each cleaning...I then switched to electrical contact cleaner (after watching a few videos). This to me did the track, I can go weeks without cleaning the tracks and engine wheels, and when I do there is very little discoloration on the cloth.
@FishplateFilms

IPA will clean , but leaves a residue and promotes oxidation. Contact cleaner is better but still does not leave any protection from oxidation. You could go over the rails with CRC 2-26 or INox for protection from oxidation. Thanks for watching. Gregg.

I hope everything goes as you planned for 2025 and very much look forward to seeing and hearing the adventures of both of you as the year develops. I heartily concur with all your sentiments, humerous and sensible - just the ticket, what ?

Looking forward to you moving into your new digs next year and hope your health improves I will be starting on the new layout in late January , thought you might be interested have been speaking to my electrician he can install LED lighting which can be dimmable all I have to do is build the over head pelmet and he can install the lighting , might be something to consider when you put the lay out up. Looks Like his Lordship could do with a new bottle of that special Ice tea LOL. All the best Shaun
