David Todd Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Oi! What's wrong with Peco 100? OK, yes, I know what's wrong with Peco 100, but I've laid too much of the damn stuff before I knew any better... There is still a lot of exhibtionists who swear by it, Andy P prior to Jason making track for him swore by it so I believe..... We used it on our fiddle yards, as we have a metre or two of the stuff too....... just can't resist taking a dig at DT.........he can take it LOL....... Enjoyed the video remember watching it brings back the memories of the sixties and seventies racing in the UK and Belgium cant do much on a bike now but watch all the races on tv,oh by the way nothing wrong with Peco 100 although I have used C&L several times and have been tempted by EM .Hopefully we will have a decent summer and you will be able to get out on you r bike. Having seen/read, many a debate/bun fight's,on various forums and thread's, I say, each to their own, what you have choo,chosen, happy with or stuck with. I have 100 code,along with code 75 point work, that's what I will be staying with. I respect the choice's of other modellers' and the track work they use.

I have some really ancient locos I like to run occasionally. For me, OO finescale is an oxymoron. OO is so wrong that it can never be "fine" - visually better, perhaps. If one is attracted by lovely track, EM is the answer - but not for me. Hal Edited February 6, 2015 by HAL 'O THE WYND 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 RAR is called David, too, isn't he. I'm easily enough confused as it is.... Me too. Not many people call me David. I got used to it off my mum when I'd done something seriously out of order - back in the days when doodle bugs fell on us dahn in sarf Essex. ...and neither is it RAR ... JRedfer abbreviated me to a stylish RaR with just a mere suggestion of chiarascuro While on the subject of me (though paradoxically at one & the same time) could anyone explain by PM please, how my avatar actually works. My grandson and I spent the afternoon trying without success to re-invent Brunton's steam horse with his Meccano. Back on topic I reckon dt is well up there with the A team now if DTY is so overloaded he is compelled to build new storage sidings out over the channel on compacted samphire salad waste. dh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bottle of Klear, maybe ordered today,cannot find any in local supermarkets. Klear is no longer made/distributed and [it says on the bottle] has been replaced by pledge multi-Surface wax - brilliant floor shine I haven't tried it yet, although I do have a bottle of the new replacement. Would you like me to try a test surface and see what it does? You would have to let me know what types of paint you would like to be multi-Surface Waxed. ........ Edit = At £3.80 a throw, it might be better to test first. Edited February 13, 2015 by jcredfer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
