    Hi Frank,

    Thanks for posting up your video. That 37 can fairly shift. How long have you been building your layout And what are your plans for it now?

    It looks really good. You must be a dab hand at track laying as your train ran Seemlessly.

    There will be plenty on here to give you further ideas so have a good rummage around and we'll look forward to seeing more of your train running session videos.

    Cheers

    :thumbs:

    Was that a west coast mainline 37 that was doing the run of honour there.

    I have two class 33's in the same livery. What's the plans for your baseboard scenics then ? You have a lot of space there to run riot with all sorts of projects.

    Well I will get a bigger house, and get a table 20ft because the current one is only 10ft. I plan to add houses, trees, plants, a school, more bridges and a river. A coal coalition too. :)

    The table was set up 1 July last year. I have plans to go to a train fair in Perth. I own 50 freightliner trains and 30 passenger ones. Some are LE.

    Just seen your other video Frank. Very good. I like 08 shunters. I have a class 128 Royal Mail van as well. They run very well at slow speeds as all Heljans seem to.

    Thanks again for entertaining us with some running trains. Always a pleasure to see.

    Cheers

    Toto

    G'day Frank,

    Welcome aboard from sunny Sydney. I haven't watched your videos yet but from what I read you have some larger plans a foot. Settle in, have a good look around and enjoy your stay. Toto's not the only one here that will reply, there will be more welcomes to come ! The other Aussies probably ain't out of bed yet... Anyway, it's time for me to head off to work.

    Cheers, Gary.

    Should check to see they can still produce a good model, afterall speed isn't everything, and as far as I'm aware zombies dont get effected by solvents so they wont sniff the glue.
