It has been a long time since my last update.  Part of that is due to an addition to our family, we had our first child at the beginning of July, she takes up most of our time, but it is wonderful.  I've been working where I can on the layout, mainly getting the subroadbed, roadbed and mainline track installed as well as getting some rough cut fascia put up.  I now have a fully functional mainline loop for a continuous run, just need to cut the circuit breakers in when I get there.

hey guys i have a few big boys ho scale when they are idling there is alot of static noise but where turn bell on it goes away it does it with all different brands is there a way i can get the static noise out i dont like it sounds to fake cant real hear the noise you should hear thanx for reading hope someone can help!!

Does anyone know the specifications (particularly the diameter) for an Athearn Genesis GP9 (CN) front light bulb. Mine blew out, and I've been advised to use Miniatronics rather than the stock Athearn ones - the Athearn ones are hard to come by in the UK and very expensive as well... 

I emailed Miniatronics and they were useless, bordering on rude. 

Athearn didn't get back to me :(

Any advice gratefully received,
