Things are moving on a pace with the creation of my layout. I've got all the loft boards I need donated from a friend which has saved me a tidy sum and I'm starting to hunt for some rolling stock.
There seems to be a fair amount of old Lima stock on fleebay for very little cash. I assume the detail levels aren't particularly high (although I understand the Class 59 I recently purchased is old Lima tooling in a Hornby box??) but I thought of purchasing a few and use then as guinea pigs for practising my DCC conversion skills on them. I'll be using DCC on my layout via an NCE powercab.
One thing I have to mention which I will add to my blog if I win them is that I found some old Lima Texaco fuel tankers which say Milford Haven on them - I live next to Milford Haven and the local refineries are why my layouts frieght section will be a refinery
