Interesting Mark, I had a look and can see that they exist in all shapes and sizes. Below is one at 58£. It's one of those difficult purchases where you first have to convince yourself that you will fail again 

My machine is not that large. Comes in handy for cleaning my glasses too. 

When that sort of thing happens so close to completion. Well, it just rots yer socks!

For times like those I invested in a small ultrasonic bath unit from ebay. Use the IPA as per usual and the magic of the machine will do the rest without undue scrubbing and the danger of harm to details.

Always inspiring and great to read Mikkel.

G,day Mikkel

Came across your blog whilst using google. I knew about RM Web but not about the nice blog feature. I'm very impressed with your modelling skills (If you are a beginner then I'm in a LOT of trouble!! ). I'm doubly impressed because of your chosen rail company and time period. My thing is for around the turn of the century, can't go past Mid Chrome Green and Indian Red. Have been a member of Scalefour for a few years and plan modelling to that gauge. I thought my chosen period was passe (at least it would appear by the RTR prototypes chosen by Hornby).

Regarding plastic chairs versus rivets, It really is down to preference, though P4 modellers I have seen use rivets at either end of the assembled track / turnout for use as extra strength and electrical contact for droppers and under turnout frogs. I figure those guys know best so when the time comes that is the method I will employ. By the way, this book on constructing track by Iain Rice may help Building 4mm Finescale Track

cheers
