Hi Steve
Stroley International is an excellent layout,it has provided much inspiration and help as I am also building a 00 modern image layout.I regularly check for updates to Work in Progress and your H.I.D.I pages are also much help,especially the pages on electrics as this isnt my strong point in the hobby! .Your layout is one of the best modern image layouts ive seen,I look forward to seeing further updates.
Regards
Lewis

Hello there

Im a HUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEE fan of your massive fantastic 00 gauge layout. I really love it, and check out every update, and always love reading them.

I was wondering, if you would like to join the MRL modelling forum. It isnt a huge modelling forum, but with your layout, it would fill our faces with grins. If you fancy joining, please visit http://mrl.f1p.co.uk/ or email me about anything.

Many thanks

How do you make your roads looks so good? I would also like to know where you get your street lamps from. Many regards,
Hugh.

May I just say what a talented and skilled modeller you are. Not only that, your photo's and blog are top quality too!

I have just whiled away the last several hours (sat here in the Depot on "Cover", ...yes we do actually have Pc's in messrooms these days!) reading and taking in everything on your two stites (blogs) It was far more entertaining than endless repeats of Top Gear on Dave! I for one would not like to take on such a huge project, that wiring alone looks real scarey!

What I did find highly amusing (to me personally) were the inclusion of many of my ex-employers in the non rail themes. The Coaches of Shearings, Wallace Arnold and Kings Ferry all entertained me for many years before I sought life on the Iron Road, and was great to see them included in your layout.

Good luck with everything and I look forward to more updates throughout the remainder of 2010.

Hi Stevie B,

The new scenic area looks like it could be very good when it is finished. A good idea to have a truck/bus stop area!
Hope things do improve for you soon so you can continue on with Stroley,
Kindest regards, Andy

Hi Stevie b,
The ballasting looks fantastic. It may have cost you a back but it looks great!!! One of the reasons i have stopped ballasting is because the rails took ages to clean and put back to operational standard.
Look forward to the next update,
Andy

Hi Stevie B,

Haven't been on those site for a while but was impressed by the updates, especially the mainline ballast. Also, some nice new additions too the fleet! Have you considered uploading some videos of your layout to youtube?? I liked your friend's layout on youtube.
Hope you are all well, Andy

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this website. I am starting to put together an N Gauge layout of my own and I have drawn a lot of inspiration from yours. You move very quickly. I imagine it taking months and months to even get the track down as I have very little free time. Great website, Stevie!

Hi Steve.
Great job on the retaining wall, what type of card or material do you use for the Scalescene kit do you use, as I have quiet a few in my hornby magazines I was thinking of doing.

Keep up the great work Steve.

Thank You

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!
