676 forum posts 626 photos | A class 78 (BR78) tank loco and two passenger coaches from the same era, have arrived on the layout. The price of these little gems makes me bit nervous. The cost/cm of a loco Maybe the deck plate will be on by Xmas so the planking can start. George |

![]() 2847 forum posts 993 photos | Hi All, For the railway enthusiasts, January issue of Railway Modeller magazine has a free photographic back scene similar to this one that I just paid £7.99, what a bargain George, your steamer looks a treat, you could put this scene behind your I don't think Mytime Media will mind this plug as they don't have a model railway title Regards Ray |

676 forum posts 626 photos | Very nice background Ray! Train ditto! Funny you should mention this right now! Together with the steam loco I recieved a ....yes ...background. It's Faller 180518 and not unlike yours. (but ca. £23) Don't have space for a backgroung on the Xmas layout due to the sittingroom window going almost down to the floor! Do have some natural distant background though. Planning to set up a layout in the store room when the Colin Archer is launched. The new background will go on the wall of course. Present 'background'... below George |

676 forum posts 626 photos | I'm so lucky to be living the simple, quiet pensioners life, with none of the above mentioned perils lurking about. Even the wife thinks that this year's Xmas train spree enhances the tree. Luckily, I have not been required to show the receipts for all the recent incomming postal goods. George |

![]() 1027 forum posts 256 photos | My wife keeps track of our spending and once told me how much I had spent on the model railway. I was absolutely astounded! She also told me how much we had spent on our two Yorkies in the ten years we have had them, which was even more eye watering so I threatened not to buy them Christmas presents this year. Humbug!! |

We welcome well written contributions from Website members on almost any aspect of Model Boating with a particular emphasis on practical hints, tips, experience and builds.
In order to maintain a consistent standard and format, all suggestions should first be sent to me by Personal Message for approval in principle. Only a very limited amount of time is available for editing contributions into a suitable format for placing on the website so it is important that the material is well presented, lucid and free from obvious spelling errors. I think it goes without saying that contributions should be illustrated by appropriate photos. I shall be happy to give advice on this.
The Member Contribution area offers space for short informative mini articles which would not normally find a place in Model Boats magazine. It is an opportunity for Website Members to freely share their expertise and experience but I am afraid that virtue is its own reward as there is no budget to offer more material recompense!
I look forward to receiving your suggestions.
