I feel your pain! It's been ages since I got to work on my layout. Had a really bad RA attack combined with the worst flu I've ever had that hung on for nearly 3 weeks. That and loads of work and family stuff has kept me out off the layout.Can't wait for the Spring here so I can move some of the sections down to the basement and get them up on the wall because that'll mean I can do wood work again and start on some more sections of the layout!

G'Day All,
Just found the thread in "Scale Models"; don't realise that it was there.
Have a "HO Layout" of sorts, currently only comes out for Christmas & grandson.
Just too much to learn about model railways!!!
Cheers, Crowie

Hi Crowie, don’t worry about the learning, that will come with the fun.
Just get your layout up an running.
BTW, you’re in a great spot to see some top rail operations.
I’ve spent many an hour both videoing ( and filming ) trains on the Blue Mountains and work quite a few over the line as well.
It’s a fantastic place to get some model layout ideas.
This is a picture I took of one of many trains I worked over the mountains.
This is a triple header 46 class at Lithgow in 1975 and that's frost, not snow, on the ground.

Drivesafe.
While I am not into Model trains, my latest endeavours incluse Caricature wood carving. At the moment I am having some great difficulty finding suppliers of some of the scenery you guys use.
Seeing you are on the Gold Coast too maybe you can point me in the right direction. I like your work as well as Expat.

Thanks Drive.
I was aware of that shop, not so much for Trains but for their Christmas Decorations. In fact I was in Kendor St on Thursday and surprised to see that their shop was empty.
Thanks for telling me where they are, I have to buy some birthday presents for some family birthdays coming up and i do not shop at HarbourTown very often as I live in the Hinterland. I will call in this week.
Thanks
Pete
