Keep soldering on
Realising that NGSE is rapidly approaching, more work on the new fiddle yard was needed. So I arranged to borrow the church hall for a couple of hours on Monday afternoons to get some track laid. We got underway, fitting … Continue reading

A video and some interesting loops….
Brian has been testing his Brighton Belle…. “This is not supposed to be a spoiler, but I couldn’t help but be impressed by the detail on The Brighton Belle 5BEL from Arnold – it shouts quality” And how about these … Continue reading
End loop ideas
I have been continued to think about the best design of end loops for our N-club modules. I was impressed by this loop next to us in Stuttgart this year, with its internal sidings. I have also been spurred into … Continue reading
