But the end result is excellent. I feel that these kits are a stepping stone towards being able to undertake track building as done by John(Hayfield), Gordon S, The Laird, Les01 et al.

Rumours are that a theme park and shop are to built with the bench as the centre piece of the exhibition. Quite rightly you where the first and John was second I am a mere pawn in relation to the two of you. But the real hero has to be Wayne. I can see pilgrames to Brighton.

RMweb Premium NFWEM57 Posted April 16, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 16, 2021 I see that May 21 issue of BRM has an article on making C&L turnouts.

BWsTrains Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) On 18/12/2020 at 21:54, Godders said: Painting may well slow down UV related degradation but if you don't know what the material is, how can you possibly apply the appropriate paint finish to it. Painting it may be the worst thing you can do. I suspect this is a false concern, at least as far as using modellers standard acrylic paint washes are concerned. Even commercial acrylics these days, the sort used for wall painting and trims, have moved to VOC free bases. I'd be steering clear of oil based enamels though. The benefits of providing a pigment covering (inevitably absorbing UV) would far outweigh the remote possibility that the application of paint itself might be deleterious. It is worth remembering that Acrylic paint is itself based on a type of polymeric resin which simply completes its polymerisation on application. What we are talking about is relative risks #. There is a high degree of risk in placing ANY plastic object under extended UV exposure even if they have stabilisers added while a simple coat of Acrylic pigmented paint should provide helpful protection. # Addition: One way to think about the risk issue is to consider if you can identify any material where using an acrylic paint causes a problem, be it corrosion, breakdown, damage, deterioration or whatever. Are there any contra-indications? I can't think of any and that's because there's no aggressive reactivity or solvent action going on while the paint cures. Once the acrylic (or acrylic-styrene copolymer) resin has cured all you have is an inert protective coating in place.

I lived in east Surrey and in Sussex no more than 25 miles from Brighton(I still have close family in Haywards Heath) for the first 25 years of my life. Despite that including many trips to Brighton I have never been on the Volks. Maybe one day when I come to pick up a bulk order of turnout kits.........

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted April 17, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2021 I had a great aunt in Brighton and most visits to her usually involved a trip on the Volks railway, when I were a lad.
