The stuff that gets thrown out always comes in handy.. attached a small shelf for my controller to now sit underneath the baseboard, removing the wall area that at first concealed it.
The point switches will remain where they are in the disguised hut.

Afew months since painting up my teaks with LMMs method of using a furniture pen, passengers are now being added to the painted compartments.
Not perfect sitters so long as they can be seen from the windows :)

£35 no track or controller but a beautifully preserved box with little wear and damage.
No more exhibitions until the Autumn, but until then, please enjoy some of my previous recorded vlogs on past shows, starting with #Doncaster's Festival of Railway Modelling from 2024.

Gonna hopefully be bringing my Dad along to the TUGS event in October providing how the rest of the year goes... awhile to go yet but after telling him about my last experience going home by train, I'm very happy he'll be supporting me for the day.

Old #modeltrain boxes wearing away?
Don't bin them, restore them! Watch to see how I fix up my old display boxes for transport/storage.

A tip for #secondhand #market stalls #nationwide
If you're selling #modeltrains... DO NOT leave them out in hot weather... plastic on older models can melt and warp.
Store them in cool, dry places and keep them shaded.

If #Hornby's coach lighting from the late 70s and early 80s was this good... might have to consider afew customizations...

Bent rods, old wires, unquatered wheels, and worn bushes are just as common as weak motors, and I think I need to learn alot more on fixing locos this worn before I take on a future repair job like this.

Last year on a trip to Butterly, I was given a #Hornby LSBC E2 bodyshell, since then it started losing its original decals, although having seen reference photos by Mike Morant, it has since been transformed into (Number to be placed) BR No.32104, with a matt/powered black coat.
