  1. A quick flick through that revealed lots of words, numbers and symbols.... no thanks, not this time of night. How about that nun? .
  2. I think n gauge fishers fit code 75 bullhead? .
  3. Well been cocking* the dinner chaps, I see I've missed two sailors and a dick whilst I've been gone. *The act of cooking in our house. It stems from one of the first paintings by my little step princess way back when she was at nursery school. It was a portrait of Nola (not Mrs Dubya) with these words painted below: "My mummy looks after me and cocks my tea" S.T. Epfarter .

      There is a system that I have used but now I simply but the nearly dry sheet back on the mattress and iron it in place, let it air and then make the bed.

      Fitted sheets, the work of the devil ...

  6. Yes indeed, I have tried to fathom them for years and even if I could fold them correctly I suspect any detail would be lost in the blob of solder used to 'stick' them together.
  7. Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory - Traffic
  8. I does loves a T9 lots, in fact two lots! Agree about the weathering. I bought a Backy 4MT factory weathered which jarred me for ages but looking at it now it's ok.
  9. Talking of serious, look at these what I found in me track play box... I honestly don't know what I was thinking, even after a lengthy description from Mr Ambis Austin (with photographs) I am still unable to fathom HTF how one assembles his mk4 stretcher bars. It might be that I was trying to picture this is my mind, which is always best kept in my mind... As for the BastardsBits range, can you tell that I haven't even opened the packet. I actually got this with a load of other 'useful' track bits like droppers and nickel silver strips in a job lot on the eBay. STOP IT, IT'S TOO SERIOUS! #P4Talk .

  11. Toys & pram. Please don't go to PM's guys, I'm enjoying the bun fight.
  12. Very pointy pliers, I still tend to get a couple of mm between the head and the bend of the pins though, not a problem if the tie bar is thin enough and you have a bit of room underneath, between it and the trackbed. As you say it puts no pressure on the point as the pins work as a sort of hinge.
  13. Just remember Quackers... Two wires You have my deepest symphony over this AC/DC decoder thingy whatsit stuff.
  14. Well spent best part of an hour lovingly forming a tie bar from paxolin only to snap the ba$tard. To be honest the only way to fit them is off the board, as they can only really be fitted from underneath (unless you like crying), I now seem to remember I've always gone the Norman Soloman method before and never had a problem (well to be honest I've only ever fitted them to test track but they worked ok for the limited time I've used them). Norm explains how this is done in the trainporn masterpiece that is (was) 'Right Track 10 - Laying Terrific Track' DVD. No longer available, C&L used to sell it but you might find copies on eBay from time to time. Anyway, for those that want to give it a go here's the dimensions for the tie bar, you use bent and trimmed lace pins through the paxolin (or non conductive material of your choice) to solder to the point blades. Anyway, time to tidy up my toys so I can find them tomorrow. Cheers Wubya
