Hi all,

added another piece of cardboard to my station entrance for some more planning.
Unfortunately I will have to reduce the width of the station a bit as the space
to walk through is just to narrow.
Some re planning coming up.

Nice..... Ai, yea we have to sacrifice a bit at the end, but it will look good.
I assume it is going to sit on that level correct? Very nice.

Was running a few trains a short while ago and set a wrong signal.  :rant:
Had to untangle three trains from each other.  ::)
All sorted and no damage.  8)

Oh No  :eek:

Jip, it happens to the best of us.
As long as there is no damage, it is all good.

Aloha,
small update, did a bit of electrical work on the one staging yard this weekend.
No pictures of that, its only wires. ;)
In between fixing the memory I was also busy with a few good coaches.
I have 3 pairs of these two axle log loaders that are always coupled in pairs.
The one set had is coupling rod missing so I made my own some time back.
In the end I preferred the self made coupling so I ended up doing the same for the others.
1st photo.
Then I applied a bit of rust and some other weathering and finally sprayed them with a fine layer
of matt clear coat.
Some nice logs to finish it of.

Very nice!

Hi,
last post early October, that's not good, but sometimes can't be helped.
Small update.
I decided to buy some layering glue for applying static grass as whenever I had
tried to had another color or layer to existing grass I discovered it always ended up the the lower
level getting all stuck together.
So I surfed you tube to get some tips on using this product and then tried it for myself.

One of the spots which I did not like as I had tried to do some layering here
in the past.
Without removing anything I just sprayed on the layering glue and applied a few different
colors of grass.
The good thing is it does not just stick everything together in a big clump.  :thumb:

Happy 2020 everybody.
To ring out the old year I let a few trains run and for a while
I had four trains running simultaneously.  :thumb:
Got quite busy for a while.
