Hi CWD,

2015 is demu's anniversary show hence the 2 sites. There will be exciting new layouts (hopefully yours being one of them), demonstrations, and all the trimmings, as well as some old demu show favourites coming out of retirement for a one-off display. And the Saturday eve' entertainment will be bigger than ever seeing as we've got the national brewery centre at our disposal :)

Cheers

Very impressive, especially the little people. A small piece of Southern Region pedantry though about those buffer stops. Even now the SR practice of painting the beam white with a red 4" horizontal stripe all the way across. Even more recent repairs preserve this feature in some places. I freely admit that this is petty, but it is a distinctively Southern feature.

Hi. I may have explained before but my actual rail interest is pretty perihperal so I do what I am told by the bloke who builds so you are probably right? Do you men like this pic (but I assuming reverse the red/white colours). I will oet him know, repaint easy enough and thanks for the info mate.

That painting guide is interesting. In our era though the green had gone replaced by black. The suggestion is a much nice station was there but has been knocked down and replaced by the ugly CLASP building. Useful to those who are building the southern as it was (the only bit that that is green on ours is the knackered sign, which to me is up yours to the twee choccy box layouts one often sees lol)

The flickering lamp. I didn't know they were called that till a street lighting engineer spotted mine at scaleforum.

LOL I see. That was an accident. The lights are DCC controlled and the decoder for that board failed except that one light. It's fixed so its gone but we did say that was realistic as lights do that, but dont know how to make it do it!

Ta very much Simon, taking a bit of a break to do the baseboards that are on the 1/4 turn. Matt the other guy who builds most of the stuff produces a commercial kit of class 502s so been doing them and might do a mini thingy with them (underground/overground type thing) and I have been doing Star Trek kits haha.
