One thing that really annoys me about your site - the pictures are two small!!!

There are two ways of making them bigger:

1) click on the photo in the web editor, hold down the red box in the coner and drag to make bigger.

2) click on the photo, then above where it says link click that. Then it should say - to bigger picutre - then click ok.

Your Dad's solution of putting the layout at floor level has merits, Thomas. (You can step over it. :D)
However, I think you might want to consider the side effects - dust and dirt. You'll have to frequently clean the layout (especially under the bed) because, if you don't, all the dust/dirt will accumulate inside the locos and that's not good for them.

Get the hoover out! :roll: Your Mum will be proud!

A polythene sheet will do under the bed when the layout is not in use!

The best thing to do is try to get them as big as possible if they pixelate then dont make them bigger cus theyll look even worse (not saying they ARE bad) personnaly i think they are the right size just to be able to see the point of the pic and with a very clear picture.

That's brilliant, about a zillion times better than mine!

Coming along well Thomas.
