Nice bikes! Bikes terrify me though lol.

That parrot sure liked your bike Big Grin
nothing to be scared off, chris. though i admit i hate being on the back these days. makes me feel a tad ill, specially with a rider who is too confident.

anyway, back on topic for a post or two, lol. we scrapped the open day since no advertising has been done, the layouts are a mess and im not in the mood to hang the curtains around the layouts [takes an hour or more, and then have to take them down, or else they get ripped]
this was decided after i had set up my lot, lol. but at least i got a test run with it and i have more ideas.

i only took double track. next time will take single. the way its set up here, both lines can be used by one loco. go from the inside and up to the station. go around the elevation area and down to the outside line. thats a UCWEPN special henry in the middle there.

will link up the two ends and then use something to fill the space in the middle, trees or something i guess

thats an idea, super. could leave the time station off, since it takes up so much room. i think it will fit down the front where the double track is. monorail and trees. will dig out some plakids for the station too. will use a bit of that rubber cement stuff to hold them upright.

If you don't have enough monorail risers to take the place of the time station you could probably use one double length straight blue rail. Should give the layout some visual depth and height. You are going to like using the rubber cement and a must in case people bump into the table which is probably going to happen.

i have tried the monorail without the station before and it coped ok. will help fill that space, thats for sure! will be my first time using plakids like this, so looking forward to that. hehe.

Readymade,

Those are great sites! As to the motorcycle conversation, I have 9 pins in my shoulder from a case at 35MPH.

But still didn't give up riding! A baby boy is what eventually ended that!

BTW I collected and restored vintage Vespa's and Lambrettas. I even owned a Puch at one time.

Thanks for the great read guys!
