Great.  Just the one door is missing.  If you have one I would really be a happy chappy.
I might buy some stuff of BE.... so maybe we can pop it into the same bag.
What about a turntable to go with this ?

Hi Woody,

OK awesome, I'll chat to Ed. I see him again tomorrow.
You will have to paint the door white to match the rest, but that should not be a problem.

No, unfortunately, turntables is scares and very expensive :(
Keep a lookout on BidOrBuy, you might strike it lucky.

Cheers,
Evert

I must say that I got the turnouts and extra track for a good price, but it took me all evening to clean the old soldered rail joiners off the turnouts.
Now to the shops to go and buy new joiners

Hence the price. :peep:

At least I kept you one evening out of trouble >:D

Seriously, track have become ridiculously expensive. I went into our local shop the other day and saw a new Peco double slip (can't remember insul- or electrofrog) but at R1013 each they can stick it - I might even assist... :eek:

Not much on the train track building front.
Spend most of my time building my sidecar onto the BIG bike.

But in the evenings I sat down in front of my computer and try and get to grips with Arduino and DCC ++.

Well after 3 weeks or so I can no program my diesel loco with sound and my diesel without sound to run under LMRI.
What a learning curve.

First of all I this is my first encounter with DCC and the first time I had an Arduino in my hands. But it is fun and satisfying when you get it right...EVENTUALLY.

Nou gaan ons treitjies ry pappie  ;D
