After yesterdays landscaping I was going to install my kleinlokschuppen and diesel tank this morning. However, it just doesn't work on a single track. I can't imagine the tank being next to the shed. So I am going to have to invest yet another set of points. #modeltrains

Today I have been finishing my factory wall and doing a bit more landscaping. To help me in this task I had a can of Double Diamond, which was most refreshing. #Bskybeer #Modeltrains

This evening’s aperitif was Hobgoblin Amber, which was very nice. Lovely hoppy flavour with very dry finish. #Bskybeer

I have been following progress on the Transpennine Route Upgrade with interest. This is a nice picture that shows that on real railways the ballast is put down BEFORE the track! #Railways

I have just been searching online for a DCC controlled relay and astounded to discover that Tesco sell them! Tesco is the last place I would have thought of going to for model railway supplies. A new alternative to Amazon perhaps? #modeltrains www.tesco.com/shop/en-GB/p...

Got an email this morning from Deutsch Bahn with their latest offer. A group of six or more can travel for only €9.99 each. What a great idea! This would save all those Hen Parties on the Transpennine route a fortune. More money to spend on cans of G&T. #railways

It’s all kicking off in the Evans household this evening.
POEM OF THE DAY
Summer Sales, by
James Evans
My wife loves a summer Sale, she looks for bargains on the clothes rail.
If there's fifty per cent off, then off she'll trot, to the nearest counter to buy the lot.
There's no room at home to store her stuff, but says she hasn't bought enough.
So off she goes to the next shop, to see what discounts that they've got.
Me, I'm happy with my limited clobber, so to go to the sales I just never bother.
On the other hand, my wife is cursed, if there's a queue for the sales, she gets there first.

I think that Branston should make their packaging more obvious. Something like: WARNING! Contains 'sausages'! I would NEVER intentionally buy this. So imagine my dismay when I discovered what I thought was ordinary baked beans contained 'sausages'. They were quite good though! #bskyfood

Yesterday’s attempt at a tunnel portal didn’t work out. It was a bit rushed and the filler I was using to mimic concrete just lacked something. So I discovered this AK Concrete on YouTube and bought a pot. It goes on really well and looks good, though maybe a tad rough. #ModelRail

These points are mounted too high on top of the main baseboard to fit motors underneath. I thought I might have to buy an MTB DP1 point motor, which would have been annoying as I have a pack of six Cobalt iP motors. Then I discovered the PECO PL-12X adaptor, happy days! #modeltrains

So far I have managed to go through life without needing a benchtop power supply. However, I am now fitting some LED lighting to my layout and getting the correct brightness has proven tricky. So when I saw this on Amazon for £35 i decided to treat myself. #Modeltrains

Latest developments at Huddersfield station. There are two decent pubs actually in the station itself, but it is worth the five minute walk to The Sportsman. Shown on the street corner at top right of the photo. #bskybeer #railways #TPRupgrade

Magic? Or just magnets? Yes, you CAN do hands-free shunting with 009! To be honest , was sceptical about the plan to make the Greenwich couplings work automatically on the narrow gauge tracks on Minffordd but they work brilliantly!

Just stumbled upon this photo taken on a trip to Växjö in 2016. It reminds me that I forgot to take that mains adapter with me when I left the company I worked for at the time. I flew into Copenhagen and got the train to Växjö. The ticket inspector said "Good luck pronouncing that name!" #bskybeer

I saw this yesterday and it was literally a head turner. I had not even heard of the MG IM5 before and had to look it up. The 'Standard' model costs about £10,000 less than a Tesla 3, and even the insanely fast 'Performance' version is cheaper than the Tesla 3. #ElectricCars #ElectricVehicles #MG

The plan today was to do as much underboard wiring as possible, including fitting a point motor to the points in the photo. However, I just couldn’t face it so did some ballasting and built a wall instead. The points are unballasted until I fit that motor. #modeltrains #modellbahn #Spur0

An unexpected issue with this section of track. The Brawa GMS 30 in the middle doesn't like Code 124 points. Even the slightest camber it derails on the checkrail. All my Lenz wagons have no issues. The Brawa wagon lighter than Lenz equivalent, so guessing that is part of the problem. #modeltrains
