“Over a year ago you posted some pictures of my layout on her and called it a sofa layout.
Here is the descendant of it now almost completed after suffering a stroke. I have built a completely new main board and incorporated the former branch line on the end of it.
I hope you like it.

And here’s a track plan of the main oval:
A cracking layout. And who could forgot Steve’s first post? I loved it (it’s here).
Kim contributes a lot to the site, and here’s his latest:
“Hi Al. A popsicle stick greenhouse cut sanded painted with light installed. Ho scale”
“Hi Al.I picked this set up on ebay for $3 free shipping.you can desolder the lights out or cut a section free to use in coaches and homes and such.even use to add extra lighting to your locomotive.The wheel is 12 volts and there is a lot of led’s.I used a almost dead 9 volt battery to lite them up.Comes in many colors.”
“lol Hi Al.I made up this hmmmm garden thingy lolwill cover it alittle with plants.”
“Just a photo of a pool i put next to one of my windmills filling up.

“Hi Al,
I am sending you these photos, maybe you or someone may find them interesting.
On a recent Grand Pacific Tour of New Zealand, we stopped at Oamaruru in the South Island.
It was there I came across these locomotive remains, the locomotive had been tipped into the sea many years ago after it was withdrawn form service, it was recently recovered.
There is workshop there that belongs to the Oamaruru steam and rail society, they let me have a look inside the workshop.
They operate trains on the old line to the wharf, which is no longer used.
Paul”
Paul’s pics reminded me of the train graveyard in Cuba (that post is here), which I found fascinating.
“I just started this layout in January this year. It’s on two 4×8 sheets off plywood and foam.

“Hello Alastair,
I enjoy all the movies. I am having problems with windows 7, but I cut this down after it was too large to send to you.
Sorry is is so short. The leaky creek is a twenty five foot long loop at the side of a recreation room and the opening allows someone to get at the refrigerator and bar for the rec room. Another sections rolls out for storage. Your fans seem to enjoy movies, so here is a shortened one.
Photos you are from the motor swapping done on the Hallmark E3/6.
Bob from Hamiton Canada”
Just loved Bob’s entrance to his layout. Very slick. Bob has also written a book – I have asked him for more details.
And I thought Tom’s mountain work was very impressive too.
