Sheffield Exchange, Toy trains, music and fun!

It only came about because you said you were going to build one, so I thought I would see if I could get there first lol.

 

I actually had a DC kits 105 sat here, and was going to use that, but the roofs were too wide for the MTK cast cabs I had acquired. That's when I had the brainwave (yes, it hurt lol) of trying the cab against trix roof. They matched almost perfectly, so some triang sides cut and shut later and robert is your relative.

Today found I had run out of pinpoint bearings when I had 5 MJT frames to do (done a pair), and 2 Airfix B set carriages, and a Comet pair.

 

OOOPS!

My 120 is coming along OK, currently doing the TSLB bogies and just cleaned some gangways to fit.

I'll just leave this here, and see myself out.

What you get up to behind closed doors is now all over the internet so a friend of a friend told me.

Are they just copying the Banana Splits concept?

A train related question. The 105 DMU, how many were built with the single window and how many with the twin windows in the guards van?  Asking as I have a version of each built from DC kits.

Just found the answer on the railcar site, 58 single guards van window Vs 81 twin window.

Oh dear, what can one say about this?  At least the perpetrators of this can remain fairly anonymous behind the costumes ... or are they protecting us from what they actually look like ... ?

Have seen the drumming apple-cat before

Nyango Star: https://fakebands.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nyango_Star

Probably the video most people have seen, playing metal drumming to a TV theme tune:

 

[Flying Fox 34F]

It’s just a variation on the Masked Singer!

 

I’m so glad I avoid the TV

Two things, the second video reminded me where I had seen that big red guy before, a slight case of OTT.

 

And, I don't know about any body else, but I did get some modeling done today, even if it was just some paint. The chance of any more this week is low due to the horrible idea someone had called work. It keeps getting in the way of what you want to do.

Hi Folks,

 

Its quarter past midnight and I'm not in bed although I should be, anyway:

 

 

Gibbo.

[cheesysmith]

 

I know the feeling.

 

The conversation in my head at that time goes like this

 

"it is midnight, time for bed"

 

"but I just had a idea, get the knife and saw out, we can cut`n`shut X"

 

"no, it is sleep time"

 

"but..."

 

"sleep"

 

"but..."

 

etc  etc

 

Even when knackered, it still goes on. Of course, what ever wonderful idea i had at stupid o clock i cannot remember the next day lol.

All rushing off to New Zealand due to Aussie Covid  regs and the new Government over the Water.

This is the New Zealand DEMU Group ready to welcome DCC/EM gauge users form Aus.

Just noticed that the railcar site has had a update. When you click on types, it has a photo of each, plus the coupling code. Pity about the mistake for the 129 lol.

A rant about new models and modellers reactions to them.

 

"It is the wrong shape".

" That doesn't matter it goes Brummm Brummm (or Chuff chuff)"  

" And the lights look fantastic"..............No there are ones that shouldn't be on, do you drive with the interior light on?

 

Noise and looking like a Christmas tree is more important than the shape.
