I suspect that as this is an over rail box the floor will be made of noncombustible materials?
An exception to the rule.

Those printed interior items look great Steve, I bought a similar set off one of the market places a while back ( as I'm not clever enough to print them myself :roll: )
As you mentioned, the signalmen like their comfort, I added a book shelf and rug as part of my interior :D

Cheers,Lee.

Resized the armchair and made the shelf for the various bell boxes. The 'box also has lighting, but I'll save that for another day.

All done apart from tidying up the wires under the layout.

First class job Steve - don't mention wiring - I have removed a fair amount - not sure if anything will work again :o

A new batch of loco crews from Modelu ready for paint.
Amazon were out of stock of my usual resin so tried this very similar white resin. Curiously much easier to remove the figures from the supports.

Although I have had great success and very few issues with the Hornby HM7K control system, in recent months I have experienced some issues with the time it was taking me to download the sound profiles when working in the shed.
The system is dependent on a decent WiFi signal, which I had when I first started a year ago. However, there is now a significant difference between the signal in the house and that in the shed.
Although I appear to have solved the signal strength (my fault as I had dislodged one of the signal boosters 🙄) I have a plan B which is to do the programming indoors.
To make that job easier and tidier to avoid grief from the memsahib, I have made a self-contained programming station that can easily be taken inside.
A box from The Works with a length of track, an ESU decoder tester and a spare Gaugemaster Prodigy and we're good to go.
