What with the recent rise of scrap matel theives you cant be to careful!

Fully prepared to take out any would-be-thief!

Excellent.

BTW I notice you use chains to couple, does this give more flexibility and less derailments?
I think my chopper couplings are contributing to derailments as they are very rigid.

Aye they do, perfect for undulating track like mine, I wouldnt reccomend choppers unless your layouts really well layed.

Cheers for that, where did you get the chains from?

here there and everywhere really, Iv got a real mish mash of chains, just visit some charity shops or carbooties and buy cheap nasty jewlry like necklances and cut the chain up.
cheap and simple

or you could just go to any well stocked hardware shop and ask for a foot of appropriate chain.

Where did you get the gun from Paul? I'm planning to model the RAF base again and one of them would be good for AAA provision.

I bought a toy WW2 Tracked truck with the gun fixed on the back from ModelZone and painstaking cut it out with a blade.
I think it was £20 odd, Ill probably do something with the track truck too.

Fantastic could do with one of them to sort out the pigeons

Just checking it wasnt some scale chain, just bought some from wickes, amazing how you think something looks to big bring it home and find it only just fits!
