Take three girls...       First we'll follow the Black 5...         and then the Jubilee (with three types of ex-LMS coaches):         and then the BR Standard 4MT, here with Julian's ground signals and water column:     I couldn't resist another version of 'el classico':     Rounding off with another conjunction of 4-6-0s:    

Hi,    have made some improvements,   smaller magnets  (2mm dia x 3mm long)  these can be better concealed and allow the loco to pull away without assistance. I have also remade the buffer stop in plastic and concealed the wires,  still prototype stuff but works well.   Just needs a bit more refinement.   regards to all Steve

It felt like the 1980's at Westbury yesterday - 56096 and 56302 floating about

The trouble with being off work and not having too much to do, is that retail therapy becomes too easy. I have recently aquired some Skytrex china clay hoods and a variety of LMS liveried freight stock - all in O gauge. The clay hoods were purchased from a facebook group ad, whilst the LMS stock was part of a bigger lot that Ellis Clark trains were selling. There were 3 more wagons in this lot, but I am going to move these on, as they werent required. Thius was an interesting lot, having been built from kits and possibly even some scratchbuilding - either way, they have all been well finished. The china clay hoods need number and data panels adding and I am going to add to the factory weathering. I know they arent the most accurate of models, but look like what I remember of china clay hoods.  

That's looking exciting, Thomas.  Once you have a complete circuit you'll be wanting to run some trains.

The last curve and then a first circle would be finished.
