Hi Stevie B,
Sorry to hear about your wife and the delays to progress on the layout!! Hope she recovers soon. The warehouses look brilliant considering they're hand made. You and your wife have a good nack for putting them together. Very nice new train as well.
Look forward to the next update,
Kind regards, Andy

Hi Stevie - I'm still enjoying seeing Stroley International develop and continuing to gain heaps of inspiration for my own layout. Please can you tell me where you sourced the platform furniture, clocks etc and also where the signs came from (assuming that you didn't get them from the web)!
Keep up the great work!

Your layout looks great and I like your control panel. Based upon the complexity of the wiring I can only assume you have a backround in electrical or electronic engineering. I am taking a similar approach with my control panel.
Keep up the good work.

Happy New Year
Just been checking out your latest pics and I'm very impressed with all the arches and high rise buildings. Great work. Really looks like a busy city now. :-)

A Happy New to you,
Just surfing a few sites as one does when at a loose end. (work a tad slow) You have a great site and you development is very interesting. Looking at yr wiring is some thing to see, I am glad one of my boy;s is a lecky, thanks and will look forward to your next update. 38 deg today and once 1800 hrs arrives it's time to open up the fridge door and grab a cold one.
Cheers Bob.

Hi Stevie B,
Hope you are both well. I can't really complain about the weather. It's nice to have some before christmas not before easter for once!
A big Merry Christmas to you both and Stroley International and a Happy New year. Also a big thank you for all the help this year and advice you have given me.

I just want to say fair play for producing such an amazing layout. I'm working on extending my own layout and you've given me heaps of inspiration. Any tips on getting my Pendolino to climb up a raised track which every other loco is fine with without derailing?
Thanks

Hi There, liking the layout and watching it progressing...
I'm wondering how you did the carriage / dmu sidings 'platforms' as I am after making something like that for my layout.
Thanks

Hi Stevie B,
It seems the recession has not affected stroley Internationals fleet! I like the monsterboxes with their new loads and especially the freightliner hoppers with the tar(?) which looks most realistic.
Great choices of engines as well! I often become jealous of your fleet!!

Hey
I must say that I am still baffled by the amazing detail that goes into your layout.
It is absolutely amazing.
The new stock fits in well with the image as well.
I do envy you sometimes

Hi Stevie B,
I like some of the latest rolling stock especially the new voyager tilting. It looks very nice in the station. I must ask where did you get it from and for how much? I'm not so sure about the Javelin. Is it as nice in your opinion as hornby have said it would be? It's also nice to see some of the stock in action in new parts of Stroley.
Great update yet again and look forward to the next one!!

Hi Stevie B,
I hope you are both well and enjoying yourselves.I like the ballasting so far and the large chips certainly work well on the main line tracks and look most realistic. It's a shame but the politically correct police would probably arrest you for wrong numbers these days!! The car park entrance looks very realistic as does the car park. It's amazing where and how you get the creative inspiration! Well done!!!!
I look forward to the next updates and kindest regards,
Andy

Hello again Steve, been a while since I looked at the layout, and it's progressing v. well !! Really must spend more time on mine, but a layout in the summer-house is a little challenging in this weather. Loved the HIDI pages, and loads of new photos to see and text to read.
well done, again,
Howard in darkest Shropshire.

Hi Stevie,
Hope you are both well and enjoying the senics assembly! The arches are a nice effect on the kits are a very nice addition to the set. Also, nice looking new wagons on the track! How much did they cost?
Hope you and your wife enjoy doing the rest of the scenery and i look forward to seeing the results!

Hi Stevie B,
I like the new lights in place they bring out the station throat alot more and finnish the sidings and TMD nicely. Will you be using lights on your platforms! Could you possibly add a few night shots of the layout?
Kindest regards and a big pat on the back!

The DMU siding is looking fantastic now with the new ballasting. The small details like the signs and even the boards/walkways have had a great effect on the siding. I like the ways you have said you are/have using different tones of ballast to represent the different areas. I also like the weeds in place which show age well in the layout.
Kindest regards,
Andy

Hi Stevie,
The new lights fitted have again brought the layout to life yet more! I particularly like the LED's in the TMD shed. The yard lamps are also effective. The DMU area is also looking very good especially with the Duck boards and the porta-cabins. I bet the layout looks very good in the dark with these lights on!!
Well done and i look forward to the next update!!
