    Hi Ian,

    I reckon they could fly of the shelf Toto... the windows are spares from another project... and hopefully a longer video when the electrics are sorted...

    It's all right Toto I'll tell her the coal stage is a mausolium and my next new shiny is a hearse ... she probably thinks the coal drop is an old fashioned crematorium ... er ... dont think I'll ask her though.

    Ian :facepalm:

    Rail cut inside shed and isolating switch (to be disguised ... probablly as a fox) fitted prior to glueing down the shed ... hopefully wiring completed before weekend .. note .. did away with the Peco isolating switch as the mechanism to work it was too complex v reward ..

    Thanks Chris I'm lucky not having a job to interupt the modelling and once I've trained the other 5/8ths to open and pour the wine It'll be even better ... its called the 'time/wife/management system or as che calls it (t + w x m = slap)
