      To add a touch more "depth" to the windows - I added window frames (platicard pieces) to my Metcalfe factory on Bracty Bridge... Now that took forever!

      just to clarify, posted the status after trying 50/50 trying the more dilute as surgested thanks

      Car screen wash works better than washing up liquid. It always takes ages to dry. I wet the ballast itch a water sprayer first.
