That's as good a start as any Ian. A bit of forward planning always pays off. Hope your back gets better soon.

Ian,
Don't forget to keep that slipped disc well lubricated while you are taking photos. The photos look much better after a pint or three, and the imagination works on a very much higher plain.
I am just starting to think about what I want to do in 00 gauge as my N gauge is not far off done.

Hi Syd beer might just work better than the pills the doc gave me !!!!
All the best,Ian

There are a couple of small track plans in the Feb edition of Railway Modeller which you might like to have a look at Ian. They are described as 'homes for Stroudley Terriers'. They measure around 6 foot long, but only about a foot wide, but they do look pretty nice. A Terrier on passenger and a green 08 on the pick up goods maybe?
