Black, because of if I ever get to take the layout to an exhibition, which was always the original plan, the modesty curtains that will cover those sexy shapely legs, will be black. It’s a continuity thing.

No, personally I park in the sub in Panton Street, but dont UKPN! Actually the Grand Arcade is free after 6 in the evenings, and is nearly always almost full.
For my birthday a few months ago, i received a Plateway Models cattle wagon. This is the result, probably my best attempt, as i managed to get a slight wobble across the wheels. I also tried to replicate the white stain caused by the lime stuff they used for disinfectant.

3d printing, electronics and trams
I got time this weekend to finish off this diesel, and a small rake of hoppers. All 3D printed, with the loc just given a wash over of muck. Wheels for the hoppers are old plastic LGB wheels, while the loco uses some Binnie copies I printed off. The motor is 12V, and this is just running off 3V for testing. There's space for a 9V battery and speed controller, and at that point, I will add the cab detail.

Spanish metre gauge in G scale (on the cheap)
In the interests of domestic harmony, we have achieved a compromise, though it helps that her motor is not much bigger than a lawnmower...Yebbut, nobody puts a car in their garage, so it'll be perfick for a G scale layout

Yesterday, I put together the name boards/posts for the first time. The signs are fixed to the 'T' of the post by a pair of Velcro pads, the posts are fixed to the baseboard sides by a pair of metal alignment dowels and and held in place by a bolt and wing nut. When not in use, the sign boards adorn the wall of my den/railway room.
In addition, the post for Goudes Sidings, has another Velcro pad on the back, to which is fitted the Massoth DiMax 2.4Ghz Receiver, to give it some extra height. Self adhesive cable clips are fitted to allow the cable to run down the rear of the post.

Well done, as usual, but I just have to ask, What is "Gernise End" spelled out normally? I've got "Goudes Sidings" and "Phidell Yard" but the other has eluded me completely for lo these many years. Might be a dialect thing.

The G is soft like a J as in German, so Jernises End. I will go no further than that.

OK, now it makes sense. Took me a minute to get the go no further bit.
Very good!! I think we need a Humpty Dumpty emoji for this forum (along with a groan).

You have obviously seen one of her stares?
No, we volunteer (occasionally) at the WHHR, and Jane did the curtains for the 'mess' and when the Gladstone car was restored/refreshed..
So when Owain wanted the welding curtains altered, he asked Jane if she had a seeing machine with her.
They are like a black vinyl, doyble-skinned, with a 'mesh' reinforcement..
Not exactly what her Bernina was designed for, but it is done, and no broken needles.
Chaos is restored:
