    Just thought I would post up some of my hand built track, now we have a section I will add more in the future.

    I plan on building a short crossover next so if I remember I will document the build.

    A joy to view and a great skill. Could have done with shunter1 ( Derek ) over here. Like yourself, a very talented man on the hand built track scene.

    Have not heard from him in a long time so if anyone knows how he is ....... Please come back and let me know.

    Sort of change of subject there Andy. Apologies for hi jacking your thread there. I'll look forward to seeing more of the same please . Great stuff.

    You can see by the saw dust build up sitting in the shed / workshop hasn't helped either.

    Hi Pete

    Partly due to family commitments, that meant time, space and funds were limited.

    Built in P4, so when I restarted in the hobby 20 odd years later, SWMBO bless her cotton socks got me a Class08 with sound in 00 for xmas, and a powercab dcc system to control it - she regrets that move.

    My P4 stock was a mixed affair of HR pre grouping rolling stock and a converted Lima Class 20, so a fresh start in 00 was born.

    Now a wee plank in 0 is on the cards - maybe :avatar:
