Heres an o gauge shunter I bought as an un-finished project for £15, stripping some of the bodywork to fit checkerplate and fittings, any ideas?

...and this is my first attempt at a building...

...it may end up as a shop,any ideas on what could be sold there?

Could be, who's going to make the trains for the window?

 

[frame69]

Was thinking of something a bit different, maybe an adult type shop,or a dodgy kebab shop, what about "Ann Summers"? or am I being too crude? Suppose it depends on the surroundings. Even a quiet little hamlet has its seedy underworld.

Started putting together some trees, made out of old grape vines from my garden

How would I emulate the smell of stale chip fryers like we get here in the height of summer

Im lucky to a certain extent as Stein uses lard for fryers but he is far enough away from the harbour so I dont get the smell,(dont know if I should make this public on here but Im a vegetarian)

This was constucted out of computer wire (ribbon) which if the photo was better it resembles corrugated steel...

Ha! Dont know if I mentioned but I use my layout as a workbench as mine is full. This is one of my other projects,50s/60s/70s cars,hotrods etc...

While waiting for my harbour walls to dry I dismantled my dapol diesel crane and mixed it up with the remains of my girlfriends ufo fibre optic lamp,it may need slowing down slightly....

...can anyone advise me about timer relays? If it has intermittant power at 3 or 4 second bursts it will change direction automatically,thanks in advance...Frame in padstow.

Thank's Steve,I cant actually find it at the moment so decided to have a tidy-up down in the train room.

 

[frame69]

I've moved girlfriends wardrobe to daughters weekend room so I could have an 18 foot branchline coming from under the layout,took some complaining about lack of space etc...

I've created lots of storage under my bb

 

[frame69]

Do you get lots of guests?

 

[frame69]

Sorry mate I would have to put my foot down there,we do get lots of guests but they have to put up with our mess. They either stay with us for nothing or pay £700/£800 for a week in a hotel in town.

"Christ",you should bring her down here and see my house,this place is designed for my partner and me to enjoy ourselves and have fun,we both like making stuff,so do the children. I do have a good tidy up about once a month but our busy time is here so were at work lots now. My layout is in our bedroom,18 by 7 1/2 foot,plus all the other c**p that comes with this hobby. My o gauge is scattered all round the house but is slowly creeping towards the garden

Our house isnt a conventional house btw.
Regards,Andy.

Just bought this....

...not very exciting I know but its all I can manage at the moment because of work

Im going to alter it to fit in my harbour area somewhere,
regards,Frame.

 

[frame69]

Having installed traffic lights can anyone tell me how or what to use to make them change automatically?
thanks in advance...Frame.

 

[frame69]

Looks like I may be talking to you in the next few days then Brian....Frame.

My Brother and I still have a '78 Z28 original though. Compared to Railway modelling it's alot more expensive to run, back breaking work but equally satisfying.
What's in your garage???

Oh! by the way, a twin-set is a matching jersey and cardigan, one worn outside the other.

I have a 69 mk 2 cortina at the moment but here is some of my previous motors....

cheers,frame.
Went to look at a yank a few years back but decided I couldnt park it near the house as its a harbour town (tiny streets)

 

[frame69]

I've had a few of these...one of my favourite british cars.

(I think my zodiac is on fotobucket as is some others)
We have quite a few yank cars here because of the american airbase.
