Hi George, I'm told by reliable sources around here, that there SHOULD be NO COAL left in the wagon, someone would have swept it out and bagged it, after all it's BLACK GOLD.

I think I'll try a bit of fine emery paper first before resorting to stripping in brake fluid! More anon. Mark 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Hello Mark, After our little chat yesterday l think if you gently rub the offending areas down you could touch up with another spray over the top with the black ?

georgeT Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Morning Andy, Nothing doing with the layout, but have put the coffee stirrers to good use this time with an old wagon, stuck them down to double sided tape then cut to fit, looks much better ... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Just thinking out loud whilst looking through your thread George. With all these lovely models you keep producing have you though of building a small photo plank purely to show them off on. Jinty has mad a superb one on his 7mm work bench thread. As I say just a thought. Cheers Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Marcus That's a great idea Marcus would make the pictures look better, l have started to make all the track for my new layout and also made it smaller down to 7'6"as CW was far to big as l didn't have room to move hopefully this will get me started... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi George, Binny has been to the Trowel Show today and said there was an O Gauge shunting Layout there just 4ft X 18 inches and really interesting. I'm looking forward to see what you come up with, but a Photo Plank only needs to be a scenic lenght of Track on a plank of wood about 2ft x 9 inches and some Whearhouses for a back drop.
