Thanks, will do, I have a pair of ooh ooh gauges and a pair of emmm gouges courtesy of Dr Quackenstein from the DuckTrakPak. Yes I shall search for a ruler (other than Mrs Dubya / Ms Edwards) and see if it has Tad's. Thank you for your kindness.

They're all beautiful! I only wanted an early crest version until I saw the rest... discount for a complete set?

She's a beaut Captain. What would you suggest to widen the gauge on the curvy bits, I have three OO-SF three point gauges, would they do it? Oh and don't tell the Southern Secret Society that I have a couple of panniers and one of those baby hall things either. I don't see the point in mentioning the prairie or the 66xx, if you wouldn't mind. Thank you

So they're solder pads on etched copper clad or similar? No need to gap as the copperclad doesn't go right across the sleeps. I have some copper etching chemicals somewhere (yikes!) I got in Maplins, you just need a resist on the copper you want to keep (marker pen works) and chuck it in. Forgot about that....ummmmm J. G. Haigh

Oh yes, have all the gauges and stuff... maybe missing a bit of skill but I will persevere.

Steady, I need to take it easy for my first one but an excellent ideal sir.

Ooooo would you look at they. Cheers but where's the fun in making things easy? TBH if I had the cash they'd be in the post now. I have a stack of copper clad from Marcway to burn my fingers on, and some of the bullsheed rail from the (SSH don't tell anyone) EMGS. Thanks though, it's the thought that counts to

You're right there, I can't see numbers, ratios or angles anyway. Cheers

Yep they're fantastic creatures and I do miss the Pegster (particularly running over my head towards the window in the early hours, even though many other routes were available).

They are beautiful models and as you know Mr Muz, ran on the ex LSWR lines of Devon and Cornwall, especially the early BR crested version

Absolutely, we've always kept our cats in a night, not just to save all wildlife from decimation but to keep them safe and ensure that we never got a decent nights sleep by either having them take up foot space on the bed or overheat our heads.

Well, opened it up shut it, read a bit of the guides, watched the vid's, opened it up again and shut... had a cuppa... Opened it again and fired this out. So an A5 with 160 inch track centres, I though it would be a good idea to add the extra two feet between tracks, as it's a terminus station, to give that extra room for staff to work safely (is that too much or not enough). Think I'm going to build this in copperclad as a warm up (and I've never built a complete copperclad point before). One thing does puzzle me, is how does one get the rail at 1:20, having used plastic chairs this inclination is already set in them but with just bullhead and copper how can this be done? Oh, instead of using boxes I found these mock-up buildings I'd made years ago using plans stolen from the tinterweb from this fantastic site (I reversed the drawings does that negate copyright?) Cheers Dubya

There are indeed! Edit: Some pics of the livery samples over on the SECR P Class fred.

Timmy looks rather nice, does he come with a sandpaper attachment for leveling my rather dodgy attempt at carp-pentry? Chip Pendale

Ah yes, forgot these aren't corridor coaches... doh! So for BCK, read BCL and BTK read BTL, would that be correct? Edit: Would L stand for Lavatory?

I just want to scare them not laser them Can Hedgehogs hear the sound too do you wonder? Thanks

Damn, you've sussed me out. Luckily I have stock of used envelopes (mostly brown) to scribble endless track plans upon. Tony Art

Cheers, you're right, well worth that extra length of track. I have a couple of T9's and have a Black Motor on the wishlist. Have to get my head around Templot but will get there in the end.

BCK + BTK as on the Lyme Regis branch, other formations I'm not too sure about. https://youtu.be/jY6yXE4WnlM Basically, whatever the formation there'll be a brake at each end

Thanks Captain Quackers has sent me some Exacterscale fishers (in the DuckTrackPak) but my eyesight is too poor to tell which way around they go. I don't have laser vision but I do have a lamp from the Co-Op mobility shop bought on the eBay, I'll have to settle for Hornsby scale, I suppose. Pekerco fish bolts and brackets will be obtained and I plan to have electricery feeds (lots). Will scribble up a track plan and attempt to convert it to Templot. TBH I'll only need the crossover & turnout templates as the rest will be SMP. The best bit will obviously be off scene, with a Faller coal mine, a steel works, harbour and all the other stuff one finds in rural Devon / Cornwall. Cheers Dubya

I must thank Mallard 60022 of this parish for his extremely kind donation of track building parts to my little project (even if some of them are P4 - nothing that shaving a bit off won't sort) I shall, of course, be making a small donation to The Potting Shed charity in Bath, as exchange is no theft. I did open up Templot and close it several times this afternoon but didn't get too far... that's not true, I did retrieve my account details for Templot Club and draw a rectangle. Cheers Dubya

Available in Lidl, Trowvegas.

Get them in the ar$e, like it!
