I like that, I can picture standing on that platform, just as it's starting to rain like mad... And of course the train doors are locked!
-
They look more like the yokels from "Wrong Turn" to me...
-
All is safe, nobody mentioned post 1970 buses on the bridge. Vespas can fly, but they don't float. Legend has it there's quite a few in the Thames beneath Chelsea Bridge...

You'll have to wait until tomorrow, when they've been detailed and repainted beyond all recognition.

Static Grass Tips and Techniques
MrWolf replied to MichaelW's topic in Scenery, Structures & Transport
That grass reminds me so much of the moorlands around here I almost know what it's like to walk across. I'll second @2ManySpams verdict! -
So real looking I can almost hear them rusting.... The open side door is particularly good.
-
I'm going to have to start wearing my auto darkening welding mask when reading this thread I reckon...

I believe I have detailed the calculation for the optimum number of pannier tanks on here before. It's based on the established Wolf - Spiers theorem of vintage motorcycles: N=X+1 Where N is the ideal number to own and X is the number that you already own.

True, but you can barely see those stupid LED turn signals in daylight. 😁 I do think that those marker lights on 70s / 80s American cars were a good idea though.

And you from the country who gave us this too...😆 "This is Big Bopper, we're out of the game, Charlie's copped a saucepan in the throat!..."

It's got to be a dovecote in that garden for the following reasons: Doves - Pretty. Wood pigeons - Drab but tasty. Town pigeons / racing pigeons - Flying rats.
-
Phew, that's a relief. Easter is rapidly approaching and we are expected to observe the bank holiday traditions. We're riding over to Morecambe to chuck a few scooters off the pier...
-
That sits nicely on the crocodile and as the Fowler BB is rated at 17 Tons dry, it's a safe bet.

(Cough) Buses?!?...

There's another model in that series, it's a flatbed carrying a neon sign that says "I'm really not getting any"
-
I did find out the hard way that an Elderberry bush will support the weight of a trials motorcycle. We ended up chopping half the bush down to extract the bike. It was all rather embarrassing...
-
Good grief Charlie Brown... It seems that it went on a Best Offer, but still eBay madness in my book.
-
Reminds me of the funny looks my friend and I got at the Workington exhibition in Cumbria. Mostly I think because we were over five feet tall and our van was taxed...

Very impressive work, I've got a 14xx to backdate and improve somewhere in the stash. I was going to replace the grilles with etched ones, but I'm inspired to have a go with wire now. If my fingers can't handle it, at least there's a plan B! I'm thinking that under the many coats of paint those grilles would be 5/8" Ø black bar, which would equate to 17mm.

57xx's Workbench - more wagons and a Siphon C
MrWolf replied to 57xx's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
You will find that you need fewer coats of the chocolate brown paint over the top of a dark undercoat as regardless of the type of paint, dark browns don't cover particularly well. -
It certainly seems daft money for a venerable old Lima model even though they can be upgraded quite a bit. Is that because you're not at home, or is it like my motorcycle parts store where I can risk triggering an avalanche of junk whilst hunting for something?
-
Except that I should have pointed out that anywhere other than eBay that item would be chucked in the £2 box rather than being the thick end of £40!
-
Also true, it's interesting to read the comments sections of the online version of any of the newspapers, regardless of their circulation or political bias.

A big wooden pirate ship? Or about eight quids worth....
-
Not actually model railways, but I'm certain it will give you a laugh. The AI description is hilarious when taken alongside the pictures. "Good vintage condition" my ar.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235470109666?
