A double negative, is that right?

Heljan orginally announced a 4mm scale one around the time of bachmanns was announced (2004?) however they backed down following the announcement of the Bachmann one IIRC Presumably they had already gone some way to researching the 66, measuring up etc so I guess this is using the data obtained then. Interesting this goes in competion with the mehano version which is also being rereleased this year although I'm not sure if its just going to be the 5 door version. Simon

And a superb trilogy of articles they are Very useful Simon

I have had this problem with insufficient mixing. I have heard that warming the tin to begin with helps with mixing it as this will reduce its viscosity and therefore enabling you to mix it around a lot more. A short time resting on the radiator will apparently do the trick. Though I am yet to try this as its been some time since I did any serious painting :-( Simon

That is the colour scheme shown for the 4mm Intercity Mk2F so I'd presume so. I wouldn't call them soon to be released though, I wouldn't be surprised if they are good couple years off at least. Simon

Becareful of detail differences between the different 37s Of note are the difference between the rsh and ee built ones Nose grills Positioning of horns Of course if you can look over these differences then you can chop and change all you like and create some nice variety :-)

Nice work on the shark, keeps making me want to do a short rake of mmp dogfishs with a shark on the rearer for a club layout. Simon

Most of the riverside track bed is still there as it has been converted into a footpath, you can see the start on Porcys picture above, ( Hope you dont mind me adjusting) Morrisons has now built on the old byker junction though

Is there any plans for the 48DS in 7mm? Simon

I have some of my Uni Exams in the old generator hall, quite an good place to be doing a Mechical Engineering exam in considering the history! though it can be a little drafty. Simon

A bit of stuff currently on bbc2 about victoria tunnel Simon

Ah so that's where it is. I lived that way last year but could never work out where the entrance was. Apparently some of the tunnel is still there and it runs very close to the Victoria tunnel near by. (I was told there was there is only a few pieces of wood in between at places!) Simon
