I have a very similar set up, Brian, except that my workshops (yes, two - one for 'heavy' work and one for clocks and 0 gauge) are built within a 3-bay Dutch barn; the third bay is 'open' on one face, we use it as a potting shed and to store our tractor, gardening clutter, etc. It's all very well, but I do miss having an indoor workshop that I could just 'fall into' in my dressing gown and slippers.I had a "Workshop" built within a double garage. ... I insisted on a suspended floor with insulation and a damp protective barrier between the exterior brick and outside walls and floor, together with insulation panels.
The training or the weather Simon?I did a two hour motorbike ride this afternoon, as I’m trying to do the IAM Advanced - it was horrible....

Larry,Negativity was discernible in my post of 17th October (386) and so as we begin 2020, my New Year Resolution is Abandon O Gauge! I might recreate it all again in 4mm/OO, but at the moment I have a lot on my hands with other things.

O gauge standards and size certainly made it easier to make models look realistic even before the paintbrush is applied, but I am not the first person to discover that modeling in 7mm is not always the same as doing it in a smaller scale. Linear-wise, my locos had barely any room to accelerate before halting in the fiddle yard and the 3ft radius on the garden loops severely limited which locos I could run.
