Easy tiger....

I'm hyper-cautious so I'd test a small section before slapping paint on everywhere... Also - I'd use an old toothbrush to get at the "growth" and.. Masking the green and red where you can will make life a lot easier in the long run.. Chris H

Yes - they were very nice..

It was a diorama shown by Paul Bambrick and Neil Podbery who were demoing...it was my favourite exhibit FWIW. Chris H

If I mention "Rule 1" I expect there will be a contract out on me fairly soon..... Chris H

Birmingham NS to International at about 11am was very much the same.....leather clad bikers mainly....such a shame we no longer clash with the Clothes Show....just saying...

I went today by train from Bristol so did not arrive until just after 11am. I enjoyed the show although I did not visit every layout or stand. I lasted about 3 hours! I was happy to part with a few pounds to Squires, H&A, BRM and Petite Properties and bump into a few acquaintances plus chat to one or two manufacturers. My personal "best in show" was the static diorama by demonstrators Paul Bambrick and Neil Podbery (who I was also pleased to meet "in the flesh" being an admirer of his 7mm weathering techniques - oils in particular). I am also very grateful for the unofficial guide published on here as it allowed a bit of pre-planning after a late decision to visit. My rather mediocre phone photos are in an album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/103471893@N02/albums/72177720312942435 Chris H

Neil's weathering is second to none and I'll certainly have a look tomorrow. Chris H

Where was this?

Sorry...irony...I missed it...nice one!

Just how does that work? Surely all railways lead to London? (unless westbound on the North London line....of course...

I hope you've got some left for tomorrow's punters....

I do seem to have a set already....but now I have two locos that need them...

It's not a train set........its a critical test track.... Chris

There's always one....

Must be all the free ones....

Nicely....now do I go the whole hog and install sound.... ?

Sorry Rob....THIS is playing trains...

adjective. showing unfeeling resistance to tender feelings. “his flinty gaze” synonyms: flint, granitic, obdurate, stony hardhearted, heartless. lacking in feeling or pity or warmth...... Surely not.....

Likewise - family issues meant I could not commit to a day out until very recently so I'm glad we had extended access. Chris

That's all very well but the show website does not contain that information..

Certainly no joy for me - website does not say there is a cut off. Most tickets sites stay live...
