Awesome video of an amazing layout - however saw at least a couple of similarities with each of our layouts, ie it all starts with track and trains 😀. Definitely something there for everybody to aspire to whatever your inclination or skill level.......that’s set the bar for this year, so we have all...

Nice job with the scratch built modern shed !....... I have used a lot of Metcalfe kits and have found them to all be very good, but I have always thought the lack of modern image coverage in their range is a missed Sales opportunity.

Hi Maria, Welcome to the forum - you have come to the right place for friendly advice and there is a good mixture of experience to be tapped into. Sounds like you have an interesting project ahead but beware it can become compulsive....... in response to your question re sealing I think it is always...
