    I was going to go nuts with my service area idea and add a crew vehicle, but finding a big Sherpa van in 1/24, or better still a Leyland Roadrunner, is proving a bit tricky. Never mind the space it would take up! :tears-of-joy:

        Cheers Ian. I was trying to keep it "in the family" with it being a factory team, but a Ford might be all I can get.

          Well, with the start date rushing upon us, I'm hoping this group build will kick-start me into being able to re-engage with this happy place once again. So thanks Bob for setting this one up.

              Hi All.

              Just a reminder that the GB starts this Saturday the 1st, and a last call to anyone else who wants to take part.

                    I was digging out a cupboard looking for some uncoupling magnets for the RR layout & found this. It looks to be all there. May I join in?

                        It seems like Garry (tworrs) and myself dropped off Bob. We're still in...

                            Certainly better Sunday's procession around Monaco

                              Hmm … I still intend to take part in this with a Tamiya Tyrrell P34, but it overlapping just about completely with the D-Day group build and the stuff I want to finish before starting either of these (coupled to the trouble I have with getting off my arse and actually doing that ) means I’m not sure I actually will

                                I have to agree Peter. I really think Monaco is over rated. I much prefer a track with overtake opportunity.
