If I set up a block pool, could we get a bunch of people to pick blocks. To see if we can get bragging rights????

If we get more than 20 members, Maybe I could be talked into giving the winning "final score" block a Big Blue Coffee Mug But we need a bunch of people! 20 - 30?? choosing 3 or 4 blocks each. 100 total blocks.

You can also choose 1 or 2 for yourself and 1 for another family member, depending on how much interest we have.

Here is a link to a sample...

Had a friend of mine repair one of my Z scale locos that had given up the ghost (my very first one actually).In return he asked me to build him a warehouse that would fit to the inside (between the straight and diverging routes) and requested that it not be square or rectangular in form. The drawing below is my very rough first draft of the design. I will be posting updates as the build proceeds.

Everyone knows about Athearn worm housings don't they? Keep a hold of it when removing? Or ping. Well, I'm fiddling with one of my loco's when that did happen. I was in the lounge at the time and we have a deep pile grey carpet.Easy enough to find a lump that size I thought. No. I searched high and low for a good 1/2 hr to no avail. So I went get myself a coffee and, as I passed the dog, I gave him a stroke down his back. There,caught in his fur, was the worm housing. Grrrrrrr. I don't know how it got there as he was about 8 feet from me.

My daughter, bless her, has just moved into her first house and had carpet fitted throughout. She had a fair bit left and she's given it to me for my railway room. I have 5 baseboards going round 3 sides, luckily without a lot of track laid, but I've now got to figure out a way of doing it. The 'boards have legs to the floor and are screwed to the wall at various places. I'm thinking that if I removed the legs and cut them at an angle, I can support the 'boards at the bottom of the wall, just off the floor. Put more screws in at the back. Then clear the floor and lay the carpet. That's the theory anyway. Crack on.
