Hi there lads,
Well I am off work at the moment as I have pulled a muscle in my back. Not too bad, but on the mend. So I have had a bit of time to take a long look at my N gauge layout and sort out how I want to finish it off. I did go out this morning to get my Dapol 2-6-2 Ivatt which I ordered when I got back from India.
The 00 gauge layout will not start until I have retired in 5 years, but as I know what I want to do with it, I have started to get some bits together. It will be a point to point main line in modern times, but with an agreement with the Area General Manager (Me) for the running of preserved stock on the line. This way I can run what ever I want to on the track.
Trev, I must still be doing something right as the wife has stated that when we retire and move away from Bristol (Devon or Cornwall) we will have to have a 3 bedroom house or one with a large dry garage for my railway. She has already given me The Venice Simplon-Orient Express + the add on 4 coaches (all coaches lit and DCC ready 35020 Merchant Navy class Clan Loco). Then she got me the The Royal Train with 6233 Duchess of Sutherland. I am thinking of a BR Standard preservation group and hope to run a lot of different BR standard locos. I am now saving for a Bachmann Ivatt 2-6-0 MT and a Black 5.
Syd.
