    Thanks Lads for the kind comments. :thumbs:
    Chris...yes I know, I have to sit down and start weathering, detailing and installing crews in all my new purchases, but there is always something else to do. I am very happy with the trees, not many left now to plant. Well worth the cost and the many hours work to finish them.
    whizzo...yes front bogie is sprung. Model is from Tower Models collection. Two sets of the GWR coaches are already sold out, don't leave it to long.
    Paul....yes yet another little project to finish off
    Toto..Thank you. Looking forward to seeing your small :avatar::avatar: collection up and running soon :thumbs:
    Steve.. thanks.

    This is a great looking layout project in O. I like the sound locos.
    I have just displayed my O Gauge layout at Stawell. When I first showed last year at my local club exhibition, a number of fellow British Railway Modeller's of Australia members got hooked. One showed me his progress yesterday of his sound locos on his layout.
    It is called 'Filching Rd Yard' It is 2.4m (8') x 450mm (1'6") end to end with 2 points. It sits in the back of my station (estate in UK) wagon. It took me 30 minutes to pack it up yesterday.

    Yes Dave, this was a set I swapped some oo gauge items for about 18 months ago, it was the original set from Lion Heart models which as you have found out is now been re- released. There will be a sound option in both Pannier and Auto coach as well according to the lads at Tower models.Kim

    Nice Layout Markeg I think you should start yourself a layout topic would be good to see another O scale layout in the mix
    And only 2 points looks familiar as is a similar plan to my Moonan Flats NSWGR in O scale http://www.platform1mrc.com/view_topic.php?id=227&forum_id=5

    Kim the plan is working O scale is growing ever popular:thumbs:

    Ah well spotted Chris, but then as an owner of one you should know😜
    Yes the outer two main lines had the bridging gap filled thanks to Ralph for his help on our Thursday work day, the descent lines bridge is made, but needs some finally fettling and then a slight change to the curved trackwork and then we are good to go down to the lower level.
    I'm going to super elevate the main lines using the yellow wedges you can see in the video, hopefully look nice on the curved trackwork when photographed.

    Thanks Toto. Looking forward to running a nice long mineral train behind the class 37 ...going to be difficult to stop running trains and get back to building :facepalm: Still intensive testing should always be carried out at each stage of the build :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    Superb video Kim :thumbs:, nice and clear and great sound. The elevation looks good, not seen it done that way before, looking forward to seeing how you complete it :thumbup:.
    I spotted the spot lights (pun intended) above your work bench, where did you get them from? they look loads better than the one I've got!!

    Cheer's, Pete.
