Welcome to the mad house. It's getting so that there are more Peter's on here than you can shake a stick at!
Cheers,
Peter

I thought it might be a good idea to let people know about my layouts; in fact they are all our layouts because I work with John Smith and they are all joint efforts. I'll post one picture of each; more information can be found on www.smithslayouts.co.uk .

Saltdean is an O gauge layout set on the LBSCR in 1888.

WTPIC 1.jpg

Eu depot (it's a real place ,nothing to do with Brexit), is an SNCF loco depot set in the mid 1950's and again modelled in O gauge.

WTPIC3.jpg

Mers les Bains is 1/32nd scale narrow gauge, set on the north coast of France in the mid 1950's.

WTPIC 2.jpg

North Foreland is mainly John's, set on the Southern railway in 1947. This is another O gauge layout.

All our layouts use DCC and we have sound in all the loco's. John also has an HO layout. 'Torcy' and an Austrian narrow gauge in O scale called 'Johannesdorf'.

Hi Peter

So glad you have joined up, your experience and skills will be most beneficial.

Am I right in remembering that the "paint" on the LBSCR locos isn't paint at all?

Paul (who is sometimes called Peter, grrrr!)

Yes, the only orange paint on the LBSCR loco's is on the wheels and the dome, everything else is printed paper panels glued on with Evostick. You'd be surprised what can be done with pieces of paper!

When I say 'orange' of course I really mean 'Improved Engine Green', but that's another can of worms.
