    Has made up some folding bars from some bits of scrap angle iron found in the garage. Wonder how many beer vouchers I've saved?...

  2. Jon Fitness

      I saw the ones were the coast down to The Junction went on to Chester, and heard proposals for Holywell Junction (small) PSB (!) - the character of the coast will be lost once the colour lights take over.

    2. Jon Fitness

      Jon Fitness

      Agreed! Must take more pics...must take more pics..must....

  3. Jon Fitness

      Would be good but often possibles turn into nothing, sadly. Time to resurrect the chord from the coast to the Borderlands line plans then !

      My sister always finds it amusing when I'm building bogies. I can't work out why.

    more brass than a brass thing with extra brass bits on it.

      Not overdone at all. A set of pictures like this is extremely useful.

      And very tasty it was too..and fast acting. I'm like a malodorous brass band now...

  16. Jon Fitness

    As well as signals, I now have quite a few random 7mm kits to build. Does RMW need another 7mm thread or shall I just get on with them?

    1. Pugsley

      Pugsley

      It always needs more 7mm threads!
