    Happy days! Is George interested in your model railways yet?

    Not as such. However, he likes me singing along to Bob the train while he dances.

    The current Mrs DR and I are planning to take our older granddaughters to Pendon Museum, Long Wittenham in the Easter holidays.

    That could have been a good chunk towards next season's Season Ticket. So instead of watching Benson tow a caravan across Oakwell, you'll be watching Thomas tow a mail coach round and round a track.;)

    Looks good (had to google it). When we went to Weston Super Mare on holiday me and my Dad wanted to visit Pecorama. There's a good layout there. As for my layout. The station buildings and footbridge are already built in storage. (Superquick kits). Just need a simple two road engine shed, double level crossing, signal box and goods shed. Majority of stuff I've got ready to go.

    Starting simple with a basic 3 track oval or two tracks with curve points loop, tunnel feature. Only thing I'm undecided on is 8x4 or 6x4. I know it isn't going to look realistic but I've got quite a lot of stock sat idol. An 8x4 layout would cope better with 4 coach trains and 3 trains running simultaneously.

    Are they the coaches with the lighted table lamps? If so then you've struck a good deal for £40.
    I fitted Kato coach lighting kits into my N scale Orient Express coaches ... all 15 of them !! What a job but they look fantastic.

    No they aren't but they're modern Hornby ones and mint boxed. My Blink Bonny A3 Queen of Scots Train pack has lit table lamps though. At the minute I have 12 Pullman's now plus the three lit ones.

    You need a Newark style cross-over for some spectacular crashes.

    I might get as adventurous as a double slip.

    If you are down this was (and it is open) it is well worth a visit.
