    Thanks Toto. I feel I am suitably qualified.
    Ironically I've just arrived back in Perth but am gone first thing in the morning so will be unable to start Kim's training tonight. Apart from being quite dark it's sheeting rain and is quite windy, so not ideal conditions for his second attempt at flying. His first being last weekend inside a dry windless shed.

    See Kimbo, I was on your side, you just needed a parachute, or airbads, just incase it ever happened again, not trying to get to actually fly them.

    Paul

    PS I do have a model helicopter - no I cant fly it, but could be available for resue flights :avatar:

    My mind is conjuring up scenes from the Italian job here.

    I'm sure the ribbing will end sometime soon ...... Er....... Well ..... Sometime anyway.

    I'm sure you'll have your day Kimbo.

    Cheers

    LSD is back at home in its new position, not working at the moment due to a faulty NCE command station. Looks like I was very lucky with it failing after the show. The fault is a mother board but by the time it goes back and I'm charged a standard fee plus parts it may well be more advisable to buy a replacement. :facepalm:
    So to move things on I have drawn up a scale drawing of the railway room with LSD shown in its new position. The shaded area is a "no go zone" as there is a door way and sowing machine / SWMBO area to stay out of :mad: well it is a big room and its not that much space to loose.
    So Platform1 members, given this space in O gauge, what would you design and build? :scratchchin:
    The design required would be based on goods vans and opens with tankers and bogie bolsters, plus later perhaps a DMU or a 2 coach suburban passenger train. :scratchchin:
    The Gauge O Guild recommends that a Radius of 6' min (approx 1.8m) is required for bogie stock and a minimum radius of 4'min (approx 1.2m) for small loco's and 4 wheeled stock. I have a few ideas but would really be interested in other members input / ideas.So each square is 200mm x 200mm room size 9.5m x 4.280m

    So the question is, are you making 1 large layout, or several layouts that join together to make 1 large home layout and breaks up into several smaller "exhibition" layouts ?

    Hi Paul, sorry yes what I have in mind is for LSD stock to have a run round the room on to a new removable scenic board, possibly by the doorway, but this new board would be say, no more than 2m long, making it a bit easier to take to a show. ( this could be operated off a seperate fiddle yard).

    I think the size of the room should give you a fair degree of scope there Kimbo.
