Hi I suspect the person you originally quoted was talking about 4mm not 2mm models. Cheers Paul

Hi Here is my N gauge version scratchbuilt from various thicknesses of plasticard and microstrip. Chassis uses W Irons and castings from the 2mm Scale Association Cheers Paul

Hi A bit late to the thread but that looks like one of these Belgian Ferry vans https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/belgian4whvan/e1e6dc518 Cheers Paul

Hi No different to the small details in OO or O. I use a watchmakers loupe and have no issue manipulating small pieces. Some of my recent builds awaiting priming all are built from either N Gauge Society or Stephen Harris kits with parts from the 2mm Scale Association. Cheers Paul

Hi Peco do code 55 and 80 in N. Cheers Paul

Hi This is my conversion of the Lima Siphon to the version with the side vents. Bogies are from the 2mm SA and the side vents were from Etched Pixels. Cheers Paul

Hi Squires Craft Tools do a pack of 10 drills of the same size and do 0.5mm http://www.squirestools.com/catalogues.htm Cheers Paul

Hi Thats one of the best comments I’ve seen in a long while. My skills have been acquired over forty or so years and I’m still learning. Cheers Paul

Hi When I am building things I tend to make notes so that if I come back to do the same thing again I can refresh my memory. I also tend to make more parts than required so again if I want to build the same item in the future I already have some of the parts. I tend to build in batches of no more than two of an item at once otherwise I find I get bored and tend to rush things. There have been a couple of exceptions to this, these being two sets of five Freightliner wagons and a rake of eight BOC tankers. The BOC tanks aren’t quite finished as I need to get the transfers printed. Cheers Paul

Hi It was also my grandfathers birthday. Cheers Paul

Hi Unfortunately that seems to be the current trend and I agree very annoying. Cheers Paul

Hi I believe so as the electric meter does all the communication with the network. Cheers Paul

Hi Usually the gas meter talks directly to the electric meter not the monitor so moving the monitor may not help. Cheers Paul

Hi I thought it was an offence now to even have the phone in your hand no matter what you are using it for. Cheers Paul

Hi With iPhones and iPads I’ve found you need to make sure the camera is at the top of the iPhone or iPad when taking the photo. It will then be right way up. Cheers Paul

Hi Thats definitely a low profile chassis and bodes well for any future DMUs. Mine has also arrived but haven’t had time to do anything with it as yet. Cheers Paul

Hi Was it enamel varnish? I tend to use Johnson’s Klear with these to seal them before using any other varnish. Cheers Paul

Hi Not on mine it doesn’t Hyundai 2023 model once off it stays off. In fact since picking the car up I’ve never used it. Cheers Paul

Hi On my last car and my current car once turned off it stays off. Cheers Paul

Hi I don't think these turned out too badly and the actual building of the basic wagon doesn't take much. I wanted to represent a slightly earlier version so I had further work to do on mine. Worsley Works N Freightliner wagons Cheers Paul

Hi How do you manage to get the glazing out without damaging it? I have a Farish 24 that I need to remove the glazing from but it is very securely attached. I've tried putting it in the freezer but that made no difference. Cheers Paul

Hi It also doesn't help those who have to eat at regular times due to medical reasons and are unable to move their mealtimes outside those times. Cheers Paul

Hi When did you receive the newsletter as I am subscribed but not seen one since November last year Cheers Paul

Hi RKB diagram 25 for me but not on your list. Current plan is to cut up some coaches to make one but I have plenty of other higher priority projects to do first. Cheers Paul

Hi I am not a Townie and I wouldn’t go picking any wild mushrooms as I wouldn’t have a clue whether they were safe or not. We have some mushrooms in our back garden which look like field mushrooms but I’m not about to go and pick them to cook. Cheers Paul
