Great stuff! Though your project does make my hobbies look like not being hobbies at all

It's a blessing and a curse, sometimes i wish i could get interested in more normal normal hobbies rather than ones that need big garages full of equipment, life would be easier if i could be happy sitting in the house painting figurines or whatever. Everything i seem to want to do that holds any interest for me is expensive and time consuming, my other main hobby is music and guitars aren't cheap either but at least i've stopping buying old cars and doing track days so that's something...

Missed this thread before but just read through and caught up, this is amazing so far and hope to see it finished when you're feeling better.

Have any of the neighbours said anything?

No one has really said much to be fair, i try to keep it fairly low key as my current loco is battery powered so pretty quiet, might be a bitter different when i'm zooming up and down on my Lister powered one thumping away though.. I do get a few people leaning over the wall to have a chat about it but It's mostly people delivering stuff to the house that talk about it as you have to drive over the track to get onto our driveway.

This is all levels of nerdy epicness, great stuff

There was an old chap at work who had a lister d engine. Lovely sounding little thing.

Great stuff! Had a trip on our local miniature railway the other week. Loco was a battery electric but with the body style of a Class 52 Western, complete with sound effects. Quite hellfire.

Of course the ultimate would be to get a live steamer going but from what I've seen cost wise you're talking the price of an upmarket family car!
