I have been amusing myself playing with a google home mini and a philips hue colour bulb. Google is able to recognise voice commands and turn the lamp to Brunswick green, malachite and Prussian blue. She will not, however, undertake any involvement with garter blue or crimson lake. What a jolly clever bit of tech....

Liking your new wagons John. A few kits can certainly provide some welcome variety in one's fleet.

Generally speaking using a higher ISO setting will result in less image quality. In the same way as buying higher ISO 35mm film the image quality is compromised by the increased light sensitivity required to get the exposure.

This was an excellent show. Congratulations to Bury St Edmunds MRC for putting together such an array of quality layouts including two stars of MRJ - Orford and Templefield. I also really enjoyed Coldfair Green, Coronado Shortline and Cobbolds Wharf. Brilliant to get so much quality in a smaller, local show. Well done to all

'Uffexe' - Devonian small space 7mm branch line
colin penfold replied to Aureol's topic in 7mm+ modelling
I agree that there is a clear inbalance in favour of the GWR. It does seem excessive that we have at least 4 panniers as well as 2 prairies (and you forgot to mention the mogul from Heljan.) Having said that, I'd rather see more of the others than less GWR. -

They are so close together you'll be fine, you could even terrace them and then you'll only need half the walls, plus 1.

So if you want one get it before 31.10.19.

Having just been on a brewery tour today I can tell you that the principal traffic would have been malted barley, hops and yeast - likely all in sacks or bags and therefore probably in covered vans. Outbound would be beer in barrels or bottles. Both would result in empties inward too. Open wagons would be suitable for barrel traffic. Also maybe an odd wagon of coal for heating and perhaps the occasional load of used hops and barley outbound for cattle or pig feed. I would guess that the barley and hops inward would use the upper floor door to failitate adding into the brewing vessels. Beer would exit at ground floor level.

That looks a good shout. I had found a similar vehicle on ebay which is the earlier 501 https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/231051924229?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=231051924229&targetid=594043180790&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9044862&poi=&campaignid=6466403028&mkgroupid=78240852180&rlsatarget=aud-629407026665:pla-594043180790&abcId=1140486&merchantid=7413384&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_OzrBRDmARIsAAIdQ_JlYGMwfVqoG74Rw7heA2V1l65n0mCx8FrjfFXu1IaD3VSn5ooqo1saAlbNEALw_wcB

Here's hoping the august members of RMWeb who are interested in old cars might be able to help identify this vehicle which appears in a photo in the illustrated history of the KESR. It's referred to as a Fiat open tourer c1930. I'm not sure if the c1930 refers to the manufacture of the car or the taking of the photo. For a bonus point the source of a 1:43 scale model of the original would be wonderful

I like the sense of movement and general clothiness of those sheets
