6th August ?? I know we like to turn the clock back Alan !!.. Lol .. nice one running good there ..

If you want, I'll lend you the Tardis yesterday. LOL Previously, that engine couldn't get traction on slopes - so it was "permanently stored". Whether it was the change to Peco track a few years ago, I don't know, but it works OK now. (have a few short videos I never thought were worth uploading, - I'll maybe put them up now). Alan.

Hi Alan ..... really loved this showing of the layout .... still can’t believe you’ve got so much in , I see the super quick shop and the metcalfe coaching inn, I’d bought the super quick shop but believe it or not I trashed it .... gave up on that one .... anyways a very merry Christmas to you and your family..... all the best ..... Fred ps where does the train go behind the board , yep I know it’s not fairy land lol...

Hi Fred. Behind board - was just pure loft, but have put some Superquick shops backing - bit mad, as it's hidden. (better than rafters, though). Presently making metcalfe low-profile shops to break up the backing sheet - but I have to slim them from 1 1/2" to 9 /16 - wish I'd never started but it seemed a good idea at the time. Will put a camera down this street to show this madness lol The street continues into the docks area (this is a cramped warehouse, a crane, and a boat! - not to be seen in anyway considered as a proper harbour like your fantastic job. Have short videos from August - Nov I thought would be boring to anyone else, but will put them up like a diary in January. Hope you and your wife have a good and healthy Christmas. Alan.

Hi Alan That old gwr is stunning is an old or new version Keep safe ARP

[@itloon]

Hi Adi. Will be able to check tomorrow. Hopefully a serial number. Alan.

Hi Adi. For info, the engine will be more than 10 years old - not sure if you can work out the version from that. Alan.

Hi Alan, lots happening on your layout...Simon

[@itloon]

Hi Simon. I made the occasional video in Summer of small additions I never considered worth uploading. I'll look at them again after Xmas. Alan.
