    I can't believe how easy you guys make it look. You say it ...... Then just do it and it always seems to come out top dollar.

    I lose sleep just thinking about taking the plunge but that's all changing. I am up for anything ( well almost ) at the moment. Maybe slow but I will be going for it and if it doesn't quite make the grade ...... Well at least I've tried.

    Both your major shed builds have turned out top drawer stuff. A pleasure to see and a great inspiration for ideas.

    Keep it coming .... Especially the landscaping and ground cover. I'm in the market for that st the moment. :avatar:

    Cheers

    Toto.

    Love the way it has developed so far Ron but to save depth how about some cut out houses etc stuck on the back wall ..

    Thats a thought Ian!! 3 tracks between the arches and the back wall, might need some lateral thinking!:)
    I have been adding drainpipes and some greenery but not too much as the arches are not glued down yet. I need to spray them ready for the ballast going down later.

    Been ballasting the branch station area today. I sealed the platform and retaining wall with a clear, matt paint spray then used the ballaster and glued it all down..

    Good to see you have the little people lending a hand Ron, I wish mine would get their lazy backsides out of the box and lend a hand.:)

    All looking good so keep up the great standard.

    Very nice Ron. Did you get your ground signals from " we honest " on tinternet ? Cheap as chips from memory.

    Has the NCE been put through its paces yet ?

    Cheers Toto.

    You can join the NCE club now ( very secretive club, don't tell anyone ).

    Cheers

    Toto

    No worries, I'm sure the answers will be forth coming. :avatar: I'll look forward to seeing the signals in action. I think they add a lot to the realism of the layout whether working prototypically or otherwise.
    I have the same for Luib bridge. I'll be interested to see how you wire them in. Seperate BUS for your accessories maybe ?

    Cheers

    2 of them will be linked to points using a Cobalt AD-S2sx decoder and 2 others using a Train-Tec signal decoder. Jobs for the weekend I think. Getting on OK with the Power Cab even got some routes set!!
    Cheers
