To be fair 'Ben' No Surname doesn't necessarily narrow the field enough. Not helped by his rmweb 'handle' being distinctly Ben-less.

Really nice, and good progress too. I do love a nice red Swiss train.

My understanding is that AC allows in-cab and directional lighting.

Aftershave, deodorant and elbow sharpeners.

Clothes pegs are ideal clamps for model buildings.

I thought that at first, but am now including a minimum of 2 pieces of track from 1 board edge to t'other, allowing a slight expansion gap between the 2.

This is turning into a far more 'occasional' series of updates than I hoped. It has been back in the garage working on the final baseboards when I could put up with the temperatures recently. This board has a unique issue in the form of 3 points where the track leaves the board at a very much not 90 degree angle. I am addressing this by adding triangular wedges outside the board. It has been a learning journey. Version 1 was a simple, solid triangle, to be attached using the two slots, glue and a couple of horizontal screws. I decided this may have something to recommend in potenti

I too regularly holidayed at Aberdaron in my childhood, it seemed such a long drive from Liverpool. Lovely bakers. Shame there was no station and Pwllheli was always damp and in the wrong direction. I remember the gradual expansion of the Ffestiniog.

My local Tescos is selling a useful-looking storage tin for £1 (was £4 before Christmas). Bad news is that you have to eat the original contents before starting to use it. Sorry, can't face trying to rotate the image. Ruler not included.

I have to admit, I have no idea what plywood I use.

You have thought too much about this.

I didn't know papier mache was bulletproof.
