  1. My mate once accidentally spilt some thin cheap superglue on a model and it looked like standing water, great effect BUT please test it on something first, it may have been the fact it was pound shop superglue.................
  2. That 1366 Is a bit like Harry Potter when they realise Voldemort has returned............"it's back......"
  3. As my late father would say "that's about as straight as a dogs hind leg" Good luck with it but I fear Paul is right, looks to me as if undoing it and starting again will be the only way to square it up
  4. Hi Barnaby For what it's worth I think the sketch is really helpful especially as a reminder, the problem I always have is that I don't wire them often enough to retain the info so I have printed a copy of your sketch & laminated it to put in the useful odds & ends folder Thanks again Doug
  5. Oops What I meant to say was I find superbly laid track fascinating...........or something like that!!!
  6. David Yes please if for no other reason I always find your descrtions of problems and solutions very helpful and informative Doug
  7. ^^^^^^ Yes it is.........I can look at ser lay built teack for hours, how sad am I??
  8. Rod I think you are underselling yourself "nice layout" indeed, it's a fantastic layout.........I'm trying to talk the wife into spending our holidays in the south west on the off chance I can come and see it in the flesh!!!!

  11. You could try using a photo on the back wall to infer the presence of something in the building???
  12. And why wouldn't we be?? Looks brilliant, as always
  13. There's some really well thought out modelling going on here, and cheap too (relatively speaking). Thanks for the update I will follow with interest
  14. That's fantastic, if I send you a couple of buildings will you do me some ha ha ha, brilliant
  15. That's really good news Rod, every day is another step on the road to recovery. Of course it means we can expect a significant increase in the modelling output ha ha ha
  16. I agree, they do look like Dinghams, I'm slowly replacing my three links with them. A bit fiddly to make but very rewarding. I've found a production line method works best
  17. "Funny these cars should be mentioned: my Mum had a brown Allegro for years - the registration ended in an "S" - she only gave up driving it when she was 90 - and that was only 8 years ago!!!" I bet the letters H,T and 1 were involved somewhere though.................. I used to have a Marina, great fun in the wet & snow but no guarantee it would ever get you there and back again, happy days Edit to sort appalling spelling
  18. Sounds like you e got your mojo back, glad to hear it!!!
  19. When all else fails etc etc etc.........made me smile as I did the same sort of thing when putting downlighting into the summerhouse, never read the catalogue properly and ended up with something that resembles the Souter lighthouse!!!!
  20. Pretty much the same guesstimate as me using the same logic
