New to 7mm; struggling with coupling sizes!
birdseyecircus replied to Grafarman's topic in 7mm+ modelling
Depending on what stock iam coupling dictates what I use to couple it with. A magnetic tipped screw driver is my favourite weapon of choice but I do use bent wire taped to a small torch. However with the wire method coupling up diesels with airbrake stock and the various hoses hanging down does turn the air blue from time to time! Paul -

Heljan to Heljan coupling is terrible for me. The hook point seems to come that far back it almost closes the gap, so I have trimmed off the very point of the hook allowing the link to fall into the hook. Paul -

A little bit of fun in O gauge
birdseyecircus replied to birdseyecircus's topic in Boxfiles, Micro layouts & Dioramas
Just a little up date. The first picture shows some ballasting i did in September, then the layout was hidden away till a couple of nights ago. I did some weathering on the track, but still needs more. I have decided to leave the wall at the front off. As usual you always end up having a little fun with the stock! Paul -

Modelling BR Engineers' Wagons bookazine
birdseyecircus replied to Simon Bendall's topic in Other Magazines
Even though I have only read the first few pages iam enjoying this read. Most of the monthly mags I seem to get through in an evening whilst the boss is watching junk on the TV, but this seems to hold my interest along more. Hope there's more editions to come. Paul -
Great pictures. Just thinking if you had 10,000 tons of whatever to move from A to B and every day 50+ tons of it came back because the wagons weren't fully emptied it would generate another part train load! Paul

Does it happen? Is it more appropriate to steam era. Modern box wagons unloaded by grab - are the corners swept out? Just curious, never seen pictures (or model) of wagons being swept out. I guess even scrap metal would need the human touch for non metallic stuff etc. Thanks for any Answers! Paul
