RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted April 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Mike, I think not having a Module layout this year was good planning, I think running a train out of the fiddle yard, across the first module, then picking the train up, getting in the car, driving to the next module owner, leaving the train 2m from the door, then the next member collecting the train, running it through their module, then picking the train up, getting in the car, driving to the next module owner, leaving the train 2m from the door, and so on, might have been even more frustrating than the usual set up.

Can't say anything about it, much too secret...

Moderators AY Mod Posted April 24, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'm busy not charging up the scores of batteries for my camera gear for a weekend on the road, I'll not be chucking in the drone to get some footage of gala trains on the WSR. There's so much not to have to think of when planning a busy weekend's activities. I'm sure I'll forget not to pack something. 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's alcohol based. Only to be applied in small quantites. It has to last me all weekend, after all. I'll have to see if I can arrange a comparison with acrylics and solvents. It may take some time . . . . . . . . 1 4 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that once you've consumed that lot your camouflage painting is particularly effective and that you cannot pick out the model against the background.
