  1. Ooh! I haven't had a complaint all afternoon!

    1. Ian J.

      Ian J.

      I wish to complain about you not having any complaints. Consequently, I'd like to purchase a five minute argument, please...

     - but I've come to it late and it's taking an absolute age to read through from the beginning and I'm still only half-way through!

      I've just read the first post and almost immediately decided to steer clear.

      Remember, when travelling to infinity, and especially beyond, always take your towel...

      Cadbury's take them and cover them in chocolate, apparently. I think they were talking about nuts... 😉

      Furlough, what's that? (Or, if you know Farscape, who's that...)

  7. Why is it that you only notice the spider in the bath after you've got in with it?

    1. Ian J.

      Ian J.

      Maybe the spider was hiding until you got in, as it was afraid if you noticed it it wouldn't have company for its bath.

  9. Can we have a vote for disabling the public message to another member feature? I'd like to see it gone so that messages intended as private don't end up 'inappropriately' public.

      Ah, Bolivia. Where the butterflies roam and send high winds around the globe ;)

       

      Thanks for looking into it :good:

       

      While you're at it, would it be possible to put a note on the Status Update message creation screen mentioning that Status Updates aren't suitable for questions, etc? We seem to have had a number of people posting about their layouts and/or with questions in Status Updates, and @truffy (for one) has been fielding them with advice to post questions in threads instead due to Status Updates just not being around long enough.

      The movie had a great score too (IMHO). Still waiting for a C&C expansion and remaster. One day maybe.

  12. Soldering Iron recommendations?

     

    Im starting out in etched kit building, The first kit im building is a Brassmasters GCR horsebox. I am looking for a temperature controlled soldering iron to use, what would be the best recommendations for this?  

     

    1. Ian J.

      Ian J.

      This might help, the question was for general electrical soldering, but the answers cover other uses including kit building:

  13. custom built curved points? yeah or give it a miss?

    1. Ian J.

      Ian J.

      For more realistic appearance, all points need to be custom made, just as most are on the real thing. So yes.

  15. Cannot help but think if i had spent more time doing rather than thinking I might have a model railway to play with during this lockdown.

     

    As it stands I have a gap in the room I am filling with rubbish instead.

     

    However, the impending isolation did make me get off my fat a*s and clear out the rubbish from my late father's flat - three trips to the tip and a lesson in reverse engineering a sofa back into wood, padding and fabric.  Don't we collect a lot of cr*p throughout a lifetime that for anyone else has absolutely no value once the person who so loved them has gone.  I had to be particularly ruthless as it would be easy to go "that's useful", though one week since dismantling destroying his layout I am thinking I should have kept some of that 2x1 for when the lockdown comes!!

     

    Also it has become self evident that I am thriving under lockdown whilst other's are finding it a real issue.  For me nothing has changed, I have worked from home since 2014, I only generally go out to shop or exercise and they are not prohibited.  Ok, I do like a meal out and visits to railway exhibitions but I can live without both for the time being.

     

    For the weekends to come I have three rooms to paint, a house to tidy and plenty of stuff to study so hopefully I don't come down with anything as I am just too busy.

    1. Ian J.

      Ian J.

      I am having to work from home as of today, so no model railway activities during the working day. Trouble is, I could do with a few weeks of 'furlough' to get some of my own stuff done! :lol:

      I'm sure there is something that is almost, but not entirely, unlike tea...
