  1. Andy Just a thought and it's not confined to any scale but you could always do what I did and build a layout that can only be erected in the garden or other suitable flat area. It has plenty of downsides like only be operated on a fine day although if it wasn't too big you can always get some gazebos to cover it whilst operating. When not in use you could store in the pod and still have room for a workbench. I put mine on trestles I got from Amazon. You've seen the videos. Its not ideal but its better than nothing. We are looking to move and one of the tick boxes has to be somewhere I can easily operate the layout perhaps by having it half up in the garage and then erecting the rest when I want to run it. Trouble is we can't sell our house due to the dire market conditions. Paul
  2. Micro O gauge Andy! I know you desperately wanted a 58!!! Paul R
  3. One of my favourite locos - for some reason I acquired 5 of them!!! Paul
  4. I do hope you are not going to convert your model to a Weatherspoons! Paul R
  5. I've been building an Ellis Clark Wickham Shed and this is where I am at Paul R
  6. Good to learn progress has been made Andy. I've been building an Ellis Clark Wickham shed although I haven't posted much on here lately as I am also on the 7mm Scale Society forum where I post more stuff. Once I get nearly done I'll put some pictures up Paul
  7. Fox is the only one I can think of that might although I don't know for certain Paul R
  8. Found them! The photo is slightly out of focus not the plates! Paul R
  9. I got some from Fox Transfers for my 50 and I am very pleased with them. I was going to post a photo but I can't find them right now!!!!! I've not fitted them yet Paul R
  10. Thank you for the explanation. But at £9.99 I won't be buying it. Sorry Paul R
  11. Down here in East Sussex the March edition of BRM landed on the shelves yesterday. It was again one of those bundles with a DVD and copy of Traction magazine at the inflated price of £9.99. Leaving aside the merits of this bundling, what was on the shelf was not a bundle since the copy of Traction Magazine was not present and the magazine not covered in a sleeve or plastic wrapt to keep the two magazines and DVD together. Both newsagents in town had the same problem so it seems this is an error at the printing or distribution stage since the cover quite plainly shows a DVD and Traction magazine included. I wonder of this is a widespread issue since as it stands the price for just the magazine or in some cases the magazine and DVD is £9.99 for something that is normally £5.49 - I feel something has gone wrong here and many people will be paying for something they did not get. An investigation needs to happen and the question of what to do about people who have paid over the odds needs to be addressed. I have also sent an e-mail to the publishers and editor but have heard nothing back Paul R
  12. One of my favourite layouts. I am glad its still about Paul R

    B for me too Paul R
  14. Another work trick I devised was to put fake appointments in the diary. We had a system where others could simply book in and I would find myself in interviews from morning to night and never got any work done. The odd fake interview which mysteriously got cancelled last minute was a life saver. Being retired now though seems to give me even less time! Paul
  15. I thought about scratchbuilding a 74 but I have too much else to do first. Paul
  16. Just finishing off one of these myself. Got to get the Bauxite paint on next. It's been primed but the weather has not been good. I only spray outside. You should see the colour of our recycling bin!!! Paul R
  17. I saw that but I don't think a purchase would be approved. I would also like one with the grey stripe. I wonder if Heljan will modify the body and do a 73/0. And how long before a 33/1! Paul R
  18. The fur ha ha. Ours get groomed every day in return for a lick-e-lix treat. The desire for the treat makes them forget they hate being groomed! Paul R
  19. Another interloper the branch. This one really is pushing the envelope!!!! The interference on the drivers side window seems to be cat fur. It gets everywhere in this house on account of the fact we have 5 of them! I have since removed it Paul R
  20. And a Happy New Year to you Andy. So relieved to hear you are OK Paul R

    I joined Western Thunder but the only two posts I made were removed by the moderators for trivial reasons so I gave up on them and I have moved mostly to the 7mm Scale Society. They are much more welcoming. Paul
  22. Wishing you and yours a very Happy Christmas Andy Paul
  23. You could sink even lower than that and play Disney's Small World. I am sure your grandchildren would love it!! Ha Ha! I still have me coat on btw! Paul
  24. Andy You could always get your band scanned by Modellu and pose it on the layout on an open air stage? I'll get me coat! Paul
