DougN Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 It's designed that way Jesse... they want you to end up buys alsorts of stuff you didn't need... though I did purchase a battery powered mixer for mixing drinks... I cut off the circular bit and bent the shaft to become a great paint stirrer for humbrol tins. Total cost about 3 dollars! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Chamby Posted April 16, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 16, 2020 There are shortcuts in Ikea that the staff use... very useful when you discover them. Usually two partitions with a staggered overlap so you can walk between them, but you don’t see them unless you are looking for them 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed you did, only a short clip, as I need to alter the pick ups as she doesn’t like the complex point work on the Down lines. Easy fix, just need the motivation to do it, I’ve turned my attention to the J6 kit, which will feature hopefully on here next week. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Sim Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Sweated out a hangover today by laying some carpet tiles down in the train room, seeing as the heavy rain and flash flooding a few months ago caused some problems. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Dare I say quarter turn on carpet tiles does avoid the long lines problem.. ( that is each tile is turned 90 degrees so lines are broken at each tile) actually thinking about it it has en a while since I ended up with carpet tiles so I must be due to receive a box or 3. It happens every 10 years or so. I had 1000m2 worth years ago. I said to friends about it and they all helped get rid of the boot load I had. That was from an old Autobahn I was stripping for a new officeworks! Nahh looking great there Jesse. I hope you weren't drinking just because of all the isolation stuff at the momen... you don't have to say if ... uhummm ... you could incriminate yourself.
