OK so this list is as much a reminder to me as to anyone else of stupid things not to do when doing any work on the railway- if you ever see me doing any of these things please SHOUT at me before I damage something or someone:
1. Don't do anything when in a hurry or tired - if you do then one of the other things listed below will happen
2. Paint must dry before you touch it - unless you like fingerprints everywhere
3. Pressfix transfers are sticky and amazingly they stick to each other if you pull them off the backing sheet to "take a look"
4. Glue sticks things together even if you don't want them to so be careful where you put it
5. Conductive materials conduct electricity so don't use them as insulators
6. ....and of course insulators don't conduct electricity
7. Whitemetal bends and breaks easily and doesn't like a hot soldering iron
8. Metal gets hot when you put a soldering iron on it so be careful what is touching the other end
9. Sharp knives are sharp and cut through skin - the resulting blood spill rarely looks good on models and even less so on the kitchen floor
and finally 10. Always put your glasses on - your too old not to!
Sigh....
Oh..my wife has told me to add 11. Read the instructions BEFORE attempting anything
