  1. It's the thought of cross drilling them that worries me the most.
  2. I've done very little modelling the last couple of months but it's still about 6 years of abuse.
  3. I think the Environment Agency might have an issue with that. Who knows what that... stuff... consists of.
  4. The closest I can think of describing it is sort of a bit like melamine on very rigid hardboard. There's no flex. I don't use it for cutting things, only for soldering. It sits on my regular cutting mat when I use it and it can get a little warm but no more. It will give off a bit of dust if you burn through the top coating (think 480C on a single layer of etch held there for too long!) but not much.
  5. Must be odd being in a Mickey Mouse outfit establishment for a change.
  6. It does indeed look closer to that than a 15...
  7. This is what I use - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224395053963 Just checked - I bought it in 2017 and I'm still on the first side. It goes a bit brown if you really dump heat onto it, but it's pretty resilient.
  8. Gosturd has dropped another, um, turd. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374999150624 Where to even start? He's right about one thing - it certainly is a "neverwazza". Also a "nevershoulda" and a "WTFa". That North British were the class 16 rather than 15 is essentially moot.
  9. We were supposed to be working on a lift, and it required the power to be isolated. So when we turned up expecting to be shown a locked power switch, tagged, and a certificate. Instead we were shown a post-it note saying turn this back on when done. We left.
  10. Goes like **** off a shovel?
  11. They do place large membranes over each layer when covering with soil - but it's interesting to watch the sealed bags that get dumped there run over and popped by the heavy digger to minimise air gaps!
  12. I just double-checked the Partialy payment that came out a couple of days ago followed by the notification that it was fully paid now - turns out it was the last one anyway. Which just leaves me with the dipstick Rodney to finish off.
  13. The advantage of using a tube to fashion the tip from is with crankpins - a small slit will work with wheels but not crankpins. The "genuine article" is 1/8" diameter so also works well as a podger to line things up. They're not that expensive. https://www.wizardmodels.ltd/shop/wheels/screwdriver/
  14. His listing are flooding my searches at the moment with the sheer number of massively overpriced LNER items. I need to put a price limit on my search I think.
  15. A good time to re-post this? https://www.yfanefa.com/record/11069
