Top work Mel - it's definitely the canine gonads.

Write up for the G-Scale Journal, perhaps?

Well, as far as getting bored is concerned - I've spoken to SWMBO and she's come up with the idea of making it a quiz for the kids, spot the rabbit, pigeon, squirrel etc. with lolipops for prizes. :)

As far as wiring it up is concerned - if I was going to do that I'd have used "ordinary" track (LGB, Piko etc.). I really wouldn't want to wire up the stuff that David gave me.

As far as another unit is concerned - I have got enough track to do a goods depot. to display my Accucraft wagons on :thinking: . I've even got a plan in my head ;) .But it wouldn't be joined up to the engine shed, it would sit on top of it as that would fit in my available space better.

So watch this space ;) .

An article for a certain other esteemed publication is in hand at the moment John, but it's a good idea for the future :) .
