RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 3, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2017 To quote Mr T "Ain't doin' no rivets suckas" A decision I may live to regret or maybe knot. If it goes titties upwards then a rebuild can be achieved with minimal tears (loss of some dear plastic friends and a few timbers but hours fettling CC's has learned me that most things can be recovered). Ain't gettin' me on no plane... Just look forward to sniffing the fumes from the Buatanone or whatever it's called these days...........makes track building such a blast man..............

RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted November 4, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Ah, so presumably Mr Suckas can deduce from this, that sir will be doing some rivets? I do apologize for Mr T's (aka B.A. Baracus) badly grammer. I think what the 'crazy fool' meant to say was that he won't be using any rivets. A move, I suspect, that he will live to regret but why would he want an easy life. If it does go bear shaped then mkII will have rivets installed. PS: Ain't gettin' me on no plane!

Don't forget dear heart that unless your point/ thing/ crossing, whatever it is, is going to suffer continual use stress, then your plassi and solvent attachments should suffice (maybe a tad of Superglug used on a risky section; that is the last two chairs at rail ends and maybe around the common crossing area?). Had you noticed that some of the chairs are 'handed'? The blocks in chairs on some lines were often bashed in the opposite way from their neighbours to resist track creep (CK will know all about track creeping ) ....but yous knewd that.

Don't worry about what side the keys are, just make sure you've got some bally chairs on the points! It really doesn't matter in a context like that, no one is going to notice and complain if you do (notionally, in a theoretical universe) get it wrong, and if anyone does, you are cordially invited to feel sorry for them!

Even Issac Newton with all his brains some how called one colour (PURPLE) by two different PURPLE names. Seriously as he liked the number seven, as many a good mathematician does he subdivided the spectrum in to seven hence violet and indigo. Calling both PURPLE wouldn't have worked (my not serious bit). Apparently some senior scientist are reexamining the spectrum as what are the real colours. Now Richard Of York Gave Battle PURPLELY won't work. Edited November 4, 2017 by Clive Mortimore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
