Just finished converting my five sets of points to wire in tube. Before this I reached across to change them.


I used the Peco motor adaptor bases next to the points so just needed to drill a hole in the board under these.

Here’s one hidden under some grass.

Not much to show really except three of the knobs. How exciting.

This pack of bases is up for grabs if anybody wants them, two in the box. Free.

Is it against forum rules to discuss knobs? :shock:

The scene across the layout above the control panel looks good, especially from the low angle.

Thanks Steve.
Naked signals and knobs, whatever next.

Might take a few more low level pictures.

Is your 08 black? I love the look of the black 08's, but didn't they usually have the large crest in that livery? (Difficult to tell if it is black or green in the photo).

No it’s plain green MG. Have been toying with the idea to get a black one. I had one in my OO days, one of my favourites.

Only just caught up with your pictures WTD. Some lovely work there. The figures look great in their poses.

Thanks BM. Never liked figures that look like they are walking, running or digging, I like them to look like they are standing around. Same with vehicles, they should look like they are supposed to be stationary, parked or at traffic lights.
