We're bringing a flavour of Scotland to London next weekend - as Auchinraith in EM gauge joins us at the London festival of Railway Modelling. Check our timeline for some of the other 40 working layouts we've invited, and follow us for more #LFORM26 #modelrailways @emgaugesociety.bsky.social

You're absolutely right Eddie, I hadn't realised I've hardly posted any wide view pictures of my layout here. I'll make sure to get some decent landscape pics up soon

I didn't know that. I've made 2 of those, they are really nice,one is permanently attached to a 0-4-0ST pug and houses a DCC chip (due to lack of space in the loco) as well as providing additional pick-ups, posted about it recely on my time like, you might enjoy that one.

They are pretty cool, I've done about 8 dapol kits now, plus 3 peco ones, the Peco ones are harder to work though

Very true, I just have a preference for matching sets ๐Ÿ˜Š

I have several Hornby locos where the instructions show a different DCC socket to what is in the loco

The wiring is very simple and badly done which is great as it makes the light flicker

I just finished my Dapol Kitmaster 20 Ton Brake Van and I even managed to fit a light to represent the stove, well chuffed

Thankfulky no, the amount of weight removed was very very small, about 5-10 grams, inside the body casing is a much larger second weight which fills the boiler and the chassis is a decent weight too

Now chipped, Cadbury Castle joins the fleet at Littleton Model Railway. I only have some random GWR coaches, I will need to sort out a proper train for it later.
