      There is no deification stated or implied. It's an authorised wording I use at the commemoration part of the service at all Christian funerals I lead.

      British Finescale could be your friend, although, as the props are on holiday, it's not possible to order ATM.

    Filing insulation gaps in copperclad sleepers on a 4ft long piece of three track pointwork is tedious

      I gap mine with a half-round file beforehand if possible as it leaves no gaps as such to fill.

    I've just about had it with aerosol cans of Railmatch and Precision paints gumming up, despite my having cleaned them after previous use and stored them carefully in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. They still gum up.

      I take the nozzle off and invert it and put a few drops of acetone down the tube with a small brush and do the same to the tube in the top of can. The can might splutter for a few seconds when reassembled but it usually works.

      While our experiences are very individual, my FiL went through this a couple of weeks ago. All were very professional and caring. He slipped away very peacefully with family around him.

    Recovering in hospital after another bowel op. Several bits in the scrap bin, hopefully what’s been causing the problems in the first place.

    Had the Humbrol varnish intended to seal the Powsides transfers react badly with the Railmatch paint on the wagon side. Bad enough when it's your own wagon, but even worse when it's someone else's.
