I was in the same position. It was only Phil’s presence which made it happen, and the lack of charge in 4415 made me feel guilty that I had neglected the batteries for so long.

Guilty as charged, this time.

I have turned down the opportunity to play with G Scale outdoors for several hours tomorrow when the temperature is forecast to be a maximum of 4 Celsius!

Hard to imagine what would be worse, our 38 degree spikes, or your freezing temps.. :?

If only we could have the average all would be comfortable!

I do love your 3D printed buildings, Trevor.
I wish I had the courage to try ABS printing but my past experience has been unsuccessful.

I'm glad you like my buildings. Designing them gives me lots of pleasure - doubly so when they actually print out OK!

The idea of part built properties is brilliant. You need to arrange spare timber and bags of mortar, together with a cement mixer or two. Quite wonderful.

Yes that is what I had in mind. I have spare roof timbers ready, and perhaps a pile of stone, tressles, wheelbarrow and perhaps a couple of builders!
