It was definitely a clever solution.

(edit for spelling)

 all the faders set to max making it loud but distorted.

That's normally called re-mastering now-a-days.

Canton is progressing very nicely, Steve.

Do you plan to put wires on the telegraph poles?

Was this really worth listing?

Not railway related, but on topic I feel:

Basically you're getting a motherboard and a few cabinet parts.... (ie no hard drive, no RAM, no keyboard, no screen, no OS...)

 

I would have thought £5 tops, but maybe i'm missing something?

I would appear that eBay madness is not restricted to model railway items.

Possibly her best post-Nightwish album to date. Released in August, I've managed to get hold of a review copy

You lucky chap.

What Lies Beneath was much better than My Winter Storm, and her Live CD/DVD was very good (except for her guitarist butchering Satch's solo on Falling Awake). I'll look forward to the new one.

Tarja - Colours in the Dark

Any good?

Just found this thread.

The Great Tits that were in the nest box on the back of the house fledged last Saturday morning. My parents and myself enjoyed watching the parents feed the little ones in the garden while we ate our lunch. The Blackbirds, Robins and Starlings have been bringing their young to our garden to feed too.

We're currently going through a 20kg bag of sunflower hearts in a little under three weeks. Thankfully more supplies arrived today!

I have a JPL Ultra 8050D-H, which has a 2.5 litre tank.

Wouldn't be without it now.

Maplins currently have these for £80.

Great photo's, Castle.

I'd love to get up to Didcot on Monday to see the King and the SRM. Just got to work out how to escape from the jobs around home.

It's great to see another 7mm build thread, especially with an excellent prototype and kit being built.

I think that if your workbench is tidy you're not working hard enough!

...a tale of the hare and the tortoise?

And we all know who won!

I've also read about the little 14XXs showing the larger loco's a clean pair of heels. They might only have been small loco's, but the large diameter driving wheels gave them a decent top speed.

Thanks for your kinds words Castle.

The A31 isn't really my prefered prototype, it barely scrapes into my modelling period. I much prefer the later Hawksworth designs. However, kits for those are quite hard to come by in 7mm. Us 7mm folk don't has the luxury of a supplier like Comet, who product such a fantastic range of kits. I'm sure I get a Hawksworth Autocoach eventually. Well I have to, as in the future there will be two 14xx's passing across my workbench.

A MONSTER..... hmm. I think I already have enough parcels stock. What with the two Siphon Gs, a Fruit D, plus the MK1 BG and CCT.

Hmm, perhaps I should have said (with French accent) "Ah, Mr Castle. You are really spoiling us!" Ha, ha! I don't like Ferrero Rocher, but I do like GWR Super Saloons.

Ah! I thought I recognised an unpainted No. 111 in one of the photo's.

I really should be cracking on with my Autocoach, especially as my monster order of solder and flux arrived from C&L today.

Crikey, Castle! You're really spoiling us tonight. Two most excellent posts.

The history of the Super Saloons is fascinating. I imagine that it must have been quite an experience to travel in such luxury.

You're doing a cracking job on that Comet kit.

Keep up the good work!

There are some great videos, on YouTube, of the Steam Railmotor's visit to the Looe branch.

Get comfy, set the video quality to HD, and crank up the volume!

AC/DC: Highway To Hell.

A classic.

Don't apologise for posting so many photo's, Steve.

Keep them coming!!!!!

The trackwork and ballasting are coming on very nicely.

I think the general clutter looks particularly realistic.

I really wasn't expecting that.

Thanks for giving me my second godd laugh of the day.

Perhaps we need a photo with a loco to get the full effect?

Keep up the good work.

The ballasting looks very realistic, Steve.

Not sure about the backscene you've got at the moment though.

I think the Heljan Class 31 might be best described as a "limited production run". What with the current economic climate I can well understand Heljan doing smaller runs of high value models. Tower Models are still trying to shift the last of the Class 37's and Class 20's.

The interior colour of wagons would have varied quite considerably. Older wagons would have been darker inside, but what the wagon had carried would also affect the colour too.

Keep up the great work.
