1. Testing.

I recognise one of those smiling faces. :cheers:cheers

Great shot Reg but where's Bisto ? :hmm

Fantastic station building - what is it ?

Could not get the text up with the photo together .  The first picture is of course Dooferdog and Marty.  The second an attempt to Anglatise a continental station for Blossom Hill .  Does not look right so will try something else.
Oh yes sent via Firefox.

Had to search a bit to find Blossom Hill .so maybe this post will make the layout more readily available.:thumbs

Nice to see. How's the new station building coming on Reg? Will get some pics of the when I am next in UK. Bob

Yesterday I paid a short visit to Blossom Hill and took a few pictures. Reg has redone the canal water:





New lights on the platforms:



An unnoticed corner - note the razor wire:



New station building:



A news stand:



And some trains:











Hard at work draughtsmen in the office next to the canal:

Looking great mate that scale scenes factory looks good

Thanks for the kind comments lads,and to Bob for taking the pictures.
There is a waste effluent barge to sit on the canal together with some workers. a fisherman waiting to be put in place ,and a few ducks ,then i can turn attention to other jobs .
In particular an olde worlde building and stables with  some filming going on. an excuse for a hansom cab and some period characters..
Don't know when though as its gardening time really ,
Thanks again .

Can you tell me where you got those excellent platform seats from please??

Cheers
Ron


Sorry just read top thread and see they are Metcalf !!:chicken

The seats are from Metcalfe Ron, they do various types .

Thanks Reg :)

I can,t see how to start a new topic so i will post on here.   I have what i think is a problem with my prodigy controller.
It will operate locos in the normal manner , but when Novice and i fitted a train tech signal to the track in accordance with the method used on his layout at home.  We got the smoke from the accessory decoder, which of course promptly burnt out.                 I checked the voltage on the track to find 2 volts dc  and 20 volts ac .  All literature and the unit itself states that the operating voltage is 15 volts dc.
So then i sent the unit back to Gougemaster, explaining what i had found ,and asking for the unit to be repaired. I was pleased when it arrived back in the post ,but without an invoice for repairs.  However they included a note that no fault was found.
I bought a new multitester and tried again with obtained the same 20 volt ac reading as before.  i telephoned the Gougemaster tech dept today and was told this is normal ,referring to  the workshop notes taken by the Gougemaster tech boys .a normal test was carried out and no fault found.
Novice is back at work abroad now so i am unable to enlist his help.  Would any prodigy owner be kind enough to check the track voltage on their layout and advise me what they find.
I really am at a loss just now as something is wrong somewhere and Gougemaster will not agree .  I am not looking for a freebie repair here ,but they say nothing is wrong.

I have just bought a Prodigy advance 2 and will check tomorrow, I also run about 5 TrainTec signals with no problem, straight into the  bus wires..

Cheers
Ron
