    For a change I have the desire to do some modelling, but lack the supplies I need :(

    Watching Papyrus trundle around the layout, it doesn't sound fun to most people, but its incredibly therapeutic.

    unwittingly subjected my Dapol 'Papyrus' to a 3ft drop test. Landed on carpet on its side, all the happened is the drive shaft popped out. I guess it passed the test?

      Hmm, adding a third modelling scale could be tricky.

      If it's going to take you all day to put the beer in the fridge, drop us your address and we'll help you drink it.

  12. Coldgunner

    Now to wait for the call for the second NVR induction!

  13. Coldgunner

    Knackered after a brilliant day out yesterday. First tie on Javelin, spotted 91110 at KGX and a win for GBR ladies hockey team.

  14. Coldgunner

    Olympics tomorrow, NVR induction Wednesday. Busy week for me!

  15. Coldgunner

    Accident at Greslington! Goods train failed and DP1 sent to assist. Vans crushed and derailed in the ensuing 'push'. Reports of around 14 1:148 scale people mildly annoyed.

      Well, one socketed and one wires only. The Jinty will be an adventure to wire.

      "ording"? Or hoarding?

    4. Coldgunner

      Coldgunner

      *ordering, although hoarding could be an acceptable alternate...

      Coldgunner

      Late, about 9:45 I got word she was still in Doncaster, it'd be gone 11 if I waited.

    4. wootang

      wootang

      not a true elizabethan anyway or did she have 2 tenders

  21. Coldgunner

    Just in from seeing The Elizabethan go past, will go back to watch the 'up' trip go through tonight.

      that is a stunning locomotive

      east coast outdone themselves with that engine

  22. Coldgunner

    Aww ######, one of my rapido's fell out of the carriage and got no spares :(. At least it was a brake end.

      Specified anything from engine cleaning upwards really. Though want to avoid customer facing and admin/it duties as thats my day job!

  24. Coldgunner

    Programmed slow acceleration and deceleration into my loco. Takes a real knack now to stop at stations correctly.

      at the moment I need to start slowing down at the other end of the layout.

      I get the same with brake control on a DC Gaugemaster controller. It certainly makes U think about braking in time.

      I set the momentum to zero or 3 at most, much easier for shunting.

      So your Sprog worked then. Try Wii Throttle over the wireless network with a smartphone, that is really cool.
