    Well whatever happens we do have a lot of common interests particularly with our home country railways.

    Paul has been my “inspiration”you may say for a few of my products... have a look at my “shop” Toto (without wanting to sound like a blatant plug... that’s not what I’m here for!)

    There are a few S&T related items, internal and external and some narrow gauge bits.

    Hey ...... You plug away. Products for Modelers by Modelers...... fine by me. I wish you well with your venture. The only thing I ask is that you take any sale through the PM system. I will be looking at your shop as well.

    Great stuff.

    Cheers

    Toto

    Blimey, I go offline for a few hours and there's a Owd Knotty invasion :avatar:..... 'bout time. Owd Grandad for Prime Minister.

    Looking forward to the layout thread.

    Modular layouts - don't worry about standards, everytime Toto defines them he's the first to break 'em. Between changing his mind and a dodgy tape measure things are very fluid :avatar:

    Have no fear, it’s all on the online shop so no need to do anything here unless it’s someone saying “can you just make me....”

    Sadly, it won’t let me upload the video of the level crossing gates so will have to re film it when I’m home next week. its only 11 seconds unless I’m doing it wrong.

    It is in my Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/groups/989132071145415/permalink/1369329026469049/ hope that works?

    You wouldn't take up too much of his time now though. Wouldn't even need a sweeper upper afterwards. :avatar:

    Raised to the ground now sadly and not that many years back either... but replaced with some nice flower beds, an Adshield shelter and a Pay and Display car park.

    Surely there will be another Christmas layout scene competition this year ... early planing is always a good idea. :avatar:

    There was a very interesting thread on FB the other day about this. A chap reciting as a young lad how he managed to creep upstairs to look around but got a little too brave when a 40rattled through - fantastic insight.

    Well impressed by the examples on your Shapeways shop Andy and the level crossing gates on your f/b page are excellent!

    Cheer's, Pete.
