It's good to see you keeping yourself warm and comfy for the winter. Isn't it just about over for this year? I would look at some perspex protection for that edge. As a Grandad it's hard to keep up with the grandkids. Having a 30cm, 6" clear wall of perspex over top of the edge featuring signage below the layout base will protect the trains stored in the area from accidental damage. No further distraction it's time to work on the embankment around the incline. Looking forward to seeing more stories about your trains along with your Train Room Adventure.

Hopefully Spring is here! Never thought of Perspex - that’s a good idea 👍. Definitely working on the incline this week!

Excellent work. Well done.

Door looks good. You could put a sign on the inside of the door to remind visitors of the low door header. Like a low bridge indicator sign.

You’re an engine! Always impressed by your productivity and build quality, room doors and baseboards included. I suspect you may say you tend to procrastinate a bit, but there’s nothing wrong with a steady thought process that includes pauses to allow ideas to percolate. Plus you adapt and develop your layout very well indeed. Quality work as always. Well done.

@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt already in that boat, spent my days off assembling a bench and tidying up the lawns. Putting off the flowers bed's as the fence is getting replaced in a few weeks so not worth the hassle to just have it all trampled on Will try get some done over the next couple weeks and then plan a shopping list for Model World Live next month

Nice bit of carpentry, I have never been able to fit doors, they always bind when opening and closing.

You have vision, ambition, and ability. A great improvement. I'm wondering of you'll end up building a lift section across the door to give you a complete circuit or you might go the helix route. You have the skills for it.

Hi Andy, from another Andy. The problem you are having with your static grass culd be because the mesh size is too small. I had this problem, the grass not coming out freely and it also looked a mess. Changing to a larger mesh has solved that.

Thanks Andy. Never even thought of that. I will have a look 👍

Like the new track plan and where you have moved the double slip so all sidings can use the headshunt. Just wonder if you need to move the crossover on the entry roads back as perhaps all you need is to be able to detach your longest loco and run it around the train rather than where you have it at the moment which is half way along a siding. Remember, when you bring a train in the loco will be at the front and will need to get out so give yourself the most space for wagons and minimum to move the loco around!

@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt

Thanks. I took your advice on the headshunt. Much appreciated. I see what you mean about the crossover, it’s far too long just for a loco. You can tell I’m no designer. Love your advice! 👍

Hi Andy, knowing your a fan of steamers should you use the extra space by the door to add a turntable? Good video as always and easy on the ear. Keep em coming...Brian

Shouldn't the smoke alarm be at the top of the stairs to detect a fire below ? Not that I'm able to guess the layout of your home - obviously.... Door is a good idea, I'm thinking of pulling an inward opening door and rotating it to open outwards..... for a bit more room !! By the door you could make a vertical "traverser" full of rolling stock ?

Hi, not sure really. Could make sense though! I agree, an outward opening door does give more space. A traversed is an interesting idea… 👍
