Fishing scene is great PJ. I have a bloke fishing on my canal. I did have line on the rod but it didn't look right. Fishing line is pretty fine stuff and at a scale of 1:76 pretty much invisible. Think I shall have to go fishing again soon, haven't been for over a year. How much is a day ticket on your layout?

Blue NCB Sentinel and Taff Vale 0-6-0ST.

Same as above but green. I blame BB.

Mind you don't electrocute yourself PJ.

Blue box J11

Dpol and Railroad, now there's a thought.

aj you'll soon finish your layout. Generally it takes about 50 years to be able to say that's it, finished. Then you start again.

Very nice Doc, you've packed a lot in. When you've hade enough of the prototype Deltic throw it in this direction please, carefully.

RDS said: @walkingthedog I have just been able to view your layout after joining that forum specially. What a long winded process it was, not helped by the fact that I could not answer the Anti-spam questions! Anyway, it was well worth it to see the work you have put into it. Thanks Thanks RDS, it's a good forum though.

Good point PJ. I'll start again. Now where's my calendar.

I'm just in the process of rearranging them in alpha chaotic order. Should be ready by the weekend.

256 at the last count PJ. Had a bit of a deluge of queries last night.

Meant to add that he said what was going to be produced has changed after a eureka moment, so my guess is that anything that has been hinted at in the past is probably in the bin.

If you read the interview with Simon Kohler you will see that he said it will be available when the patent process has been completed. It would be wrong for Hornby to give any details until this procedure has been signed and sealed. You were really asking Hornby 'how long is a piece of string?'. He makes it quite clear that they have to get things done correctly and when this has been done they will be in a position to give an indication as to its availability.

You were missed Fishy. Or maybe PJ was enjoying your absence. Don't think so though.

DCC uncouplers are already available. I read today that the RAF are printing spare parts for the Tornado.

I totally agree that detection is going to be an amazing thing. What I find strange is the way you are all discussing how it's going to do this and that when nothing has been released. It has been announced that it is going to be different to what was originally put forward. From what I've read it's going to be better than first thought and will work in a completely different way.

I'm so far behind DCC that I'm going backwards Graskie, but I don't understand all this second guessing. Probably completely different when it comes out and then they'll be saying 'oh I thought it was going to do this not that'.

Thanks for that PJ. I did wonder about having an account with the other forum. It is worth having one if you want to discuss other thing though isn't it?

That's the beauty of the plan.

When I retired in 2006 it took me about a day to get used to it. I now live by the 'why do something tomorrow when you can do it another day' plan.

If this works there should be 5 pictures of my layout. http://www.modelrailwayforum.co.uk/album.php?albumid=61&pictureid=460

Looking at what you've just written, I reckon I've been living an event driven world all my life.
