  1. The fender would be five feet by three, fairly large to be moved about for mooring. If it were for a permanent use, ie for a ferry docking , it would probably be ideal. Might be best to roll up a piece of plasticine that size and see what it looks like in situ? Rich
  2. While we’re on trivia, the French call the vacuum cleaner an aspirator Rich
  3. I had a red two door GT from new, not so popular as the four door 1600E with Rostyle Wheels. Mine had 51/2 inch steels like the Lotus. Not so quick but less oil leaks. Rich
  4. Hope it goes to a good home. Such fine modelling, looking forward to your next effort. Rich
  5. I found this out too, you need to really stir all the sludge up from the bottom of the tin. That’s the good bit, unlike red wine or port. Rich
  6. If you don’t manage to scource a supply, you could speak to Poppy’s Woodtech, he does a range of lineside laser cuts and could maybe do some of the Exmouth Junction castings as they were used everywhere in the Southern Region. Some of their basic moulds would definitely make business sense. I made my own running in boards based on the Southern Nuveau drawings.
  7. Be careful, “tidying up” usually involves a large black sack and quite a lot of heartache. Rich
  8. So purposeful in the black, a very useful addition. Rich
  9. Not just the funnies, Rob. You give us a tiny glimpse into a rosy world, where we can discuss train formations, the various 4 mm figures and kits we can aspire to, and a few firm friends we can follow without the vaguest chance of ever meeting them. Please keep up the good work. Rich
  10. It’s what we do so well! Did you notice it’s the French Navy doing the policing , cos we haven’t got one.
  11. Spot on Dudders. I’m just wondering, if the set was reversed at Plymouth would it be the other way round going back over Tavistock/Okehampton and thus to Waterloo? (Centre of the Universe) Rich
  12. Don’t forget Bisto Gravy and Mint Sauce Ash
  13. If you were the other side of Exeter, in the domain of the Duck, the mixture of part rakes would be usual. It was normal practice to detach/attach a single BCK for say, the Seaton Branch, or a BTK/CK pair for a heavier day, so only the main through trains used the longer sets. Watch me get shot down in flames now Rich
  14. Welcome back, Mr Duck. i think you’d be surprised how many of us follow your saga. I went back four pages in the index yesterday to see if you’d posted, but was happy to wait till you were ready again. My construction project further down the “Withered Arm” has stalled in the hot weather too. Rich
  15. I thought that read “silly bunts” , bit more appropriate. Kings Bolledge Bambridge.
  16. According to the lead article in “Good Housekeeping “ this month, J.A. still enjoys an active sex life. She doesn’t know the half of it!
  17. While he’s doing lights, you should get him a sound chip for it. Rich
  18. Bu££er, I expected some other form of domination, not some cheap oriental copy of a seventies rock group G.R. Umpiolgit
  19. Well done, Kevin. That’s a handy tip about superglue being an insulator. I have usually drilled a clearance hole around the brush gear when chipping a split chassis It’s always nice to see someone dispelling the “magic” about dcc. looking great, and you’ll never have traction problems. Rich
